We had a really lovely time at Olive Grove Farm. We had just a week , but will definitely come back either next year or the year after with some friends.

Everything was as good as the website predicted. We loved all the large rooms which were well decorated and several had exposed stone walls. Really quaint and charming old house beautifully restored, although there was a little effervesce of the plaster in a couple of the rooms downstairs as I should imagine there is no damp course, but there appeared to be no damp.

Loved the swimming pool and surrounding countryside -certainly the views are stunning. It was nice to see a really GIGANTIC pool which was beautifully warm. Village shops (2) kept a good variety of food but a little expensive compared to the supermarkets where we did most of our shopping. You definitely need a car here – unless you love walking although there is quite a good bus service from the village which my daughter used twice.

Abruzzo is certainly one of the better areas of Italy (are they called states?) with very high mountains and lush green fields. Certainly a varied landscape but beautifully unspoilt even by tourism. Apart from the beaches (preferred Frankovilla to Pescara) and the pool we did not do much sightseeing.

Would very much like to come back for a longer period to explore more – our week went far too quickly!

Very smiling, polite and friendly staff. People very tuned to their tenants and who always had a smile and a kind word in our daily meetings!

Apartment very clean and welcoming light and cheerful.

We thank the owners for their kindness.

On occasion we are prepared to stay there again with a lot of fun.

A family holiday which will remain a great memory thanks to the owners very friendly and considerate.

The pool, bikes, games... and exceptional setting. Everything is designed so that children and parents spend a great time. We have missed anything, and we were very comfortable in the 3 cottages side by side.

Thanks to Wendy and John for your home! We have retained your address for a next family vacation rental.
