General
Parts of Abruzzo seem to have some of Italy’s last wildernesses. Sparsely populated, there are many quiet places where the wild landscape exerts strong influence. Ramshackle hill towns cling to the sides of high mountains, semi-abandoned and poor, and the endless tracks of the forest and rich fertile land remain as if untouched by time. Sheer simplicity. Casa Caprafico is in an isolated, quiet situation surrounded by cultivated wheat and barley fields, olive groves and to one side rise the magnificent mountains of the Maiella. A massif of 61 peaks and heavily forested valleys with more than 2,000 plants, they are popular with birdwatchers, walkers and climbers. A truly amazing landscape. The house has been well renovated and is now three apartments, each with its own entrance. They are extremely prettily furnished, comfortable and well presented. The English-speaking owner lives not too far away and so is available for guidance.

Location
The village of Guardiagrele is ten kilometres away for all practical shopping, and some wonderful restaurants - you won’t believe the low prices! Sulmona is a medieval town in this region and well worth a visit. It was birthplace of one of the greatest Latin poets, Ovid. in 43BC. The cathedral has been built over a Roman temple, and its best treasure is the palace of the Annunziata. This Northern part of Abruzzo is well served by road links to visit many towns and villages.

Layout
All at ground level, the entrance from the furnished terrace is into a sitting/dining room with fireplace and convertible, sofa divan bed. The kitchen has cooking hob and fridge. A twin/double bedded room and a shower room with WC etc.
