Villa with pool, amazing views, beautiful peaceful location, beaches 20 mins

Villa Il Frutteto is situated on the outskirts of the village of Bellante, which is located between the small city of Teramo and the coastal town of Giulianova in Abruzzo. The location is very quiet with 360' views over rolling hills covered with olive groves, wheat fields, and sunflowers with small hilltop villages dotted around and distant views to the Gran Sasso mountain range. The villa is easy to get to being only 8 minutes drive from the A14 autostrada and 4 minutes from A24 superstrada giving easy access to the mountains of the national parks and the beaches at Giulianova, Tortoreto, Roseto degli Abruzzi and Pineto. It is at the end of a 1km stone road so there is no passing traffic just tranquility!
The villa was constructed in 2015 as an eco house with a lot of insulation so is warm in winter, cool in summer and all rooms have white timber beamed ceilings. The first floor is reached via an external staircase. There are 4 large double bedrooms on the first floor, 3 with balconies and amazing views, all with ensuite shower rooms, 2 with extra daybeds giving 4 more beds, (two of the extra beds are small so they are only suitable for children under the age of 12). There is a large bedroom on the ground floor with ensuite shower room a double bed and two single beds, suitable for wheelchair access. On the ground floor there is a large modern kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. A separate cloakroom WC, a dining room and sitting room both with patio doors opening onto a large terrace with sitting area, tables and chairs, a large BBQ and spectacular views over the hillsides. There is 5m x 11m swimming pool . 2025 POOL OPENS 10 May closes end of September. There are sunbeds and covered pergola for shade and a large garden with ornamental shrubs, olive and fruit trees. Beaches at Giulianova are 20 minutes drive away, local shops and restaurants are 7 minutes drive away and you can reach the mountains in 40 minutes, where there are lakes, walking trails and spectacular scenery in the National parks. From Bellante stazione there are regular daily coaches to Rome central, 2hr 45mins. This is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility, spend lazy days around the pool and in the evenings sip a glass of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo on the terrace while watching the sunset over the Gemelli mountains. The location and easy accessibility means you can get out and about and enjoy the many attractions of Abruzzo and the many local food and wine markets and festas held in our local villages throughout the summer months.

Spectacular View
The villa was perfect for our large group of 11. Comfortable, spacious, quiet, and well equipped. The description and photos in the listing are very accurate, and the hosts are wonderful people (and quick to respond). The 360 view of the countryside was very impressive… what a spectacular view! Many restaurants, grocery stores and old towns within 15-30 minutes. We will definitely return.

Fantastic on all counts, the property, the location and John and Sue the wonderful hosts. Some great memories for 16 of us spanning 3 generations. Weather was mid 30’s for most of time so the pool was a godsend. Nothing but positives. Thanks again John and Sue and hopefully your future plans work out. If not we’ll see you next year 😀😀

Spectacular retreat
Il Frutetto ('the orchard') was an absolute joy. John and Sue were consummate hosts–funny, articulate, helpful and knowledgeable. The views are stunning from all directions. The estate is well laid-out, with a very functional and well-stocked kitchen, and the pool and decks were a true luxury. Know that it is a bit out in the country, so a drive is required to get to sights and shopping. We found incredible dining in Julianova (Taglietto, and others) and a great enoteca (wine shop) about 5 km away (but a very decent Montepulciano d'Abruzzo can be had at the market for 3 euro)! Sue also arranged a local cook to come in and demonstrate the making of a 3 course meal (a homemade savory ravioli, a superb lamb dish, and custard for dessert). There is much to see and do in Abruzzo, but relaxing in a place like Il Frutetto itself was worth the trip.

A jewel in undiscovered Italy
We were two families looking for a large property with a pool, ideally within reach of villages and the sea. John and Sue, our hosts, provided us with this and more. The house is larger than it seems from the photos, is very clean, furnished with good quality items, and has the most fantastic views. We were within 25 minutes of good beaches and restaurants and an hour into the Apennine Mountains. It was very hot when we were there but the large fans provided kept us cool at night, and during the day there were several outdoor seating areas where we could find shade, or just bask beside the pool. We agreed that the views from the BBQ, while turning meat and fish and supping Montepulciano wine, were the best we have ever had in a villa. The rolling hillsides topped with small villages are dwarfed by the mountains in the distance. John and Sue were excellent hosts. John turned up most days to clean the pool and make sure we had what we needed, and was very helpful when thinking about restaurants or areas to visit. I can really recommend this accommodation and this undiscovered, relatively ‘tourist-free’ area of Italy.

My family stayed here for a week. The house is truly a villa. It is 5 bedrooms with each bedroom having its own private bathroom. The views were amazing. When we come back to Abruzzo we will be booking this place for future use. Perfect place for large families or couples.

Segal/Hasler family holiday August 2019
Dear John and Sue, Thank you so much for a wonderful two weeks just spent at Il Frutteto. What a beautiful location, with stunning views and complete peace. We had a great time, 11 of us in total and spent our days lazing by the pool, wine tasting, visiting The Gran Sasso mountains, dancing at a beer festival, visiting the beaches and eating at various local restaurants. The house was perfectly set up for large groups and we spent lovely evenings sitting around the comfortable seating area playing cards and watching the sunsets. We were so well looked after by you both and had everything we needed to make it a really comfortable stay. It is a magical place in a totally unspoilt part of Italy. We loved the fact that there were no tourists and had great fun trying to speak Italian to the locals. We have so many happy memories from our holiday and really hope to visit you both (and Amber of course )again soon. Thanks again and with best wishes, Jo, Pete, Toria and Will and all our motley crew xxx

Better than we could have ever dreamed!
Except for not realizing that the “road” started in the parking lot of the Pedicone olive oil company, and missing our initial turn, we had the most amazing week! I knew it was beautiful from the photos, but the photos didn’t begin to do it justice! You guys were sooo sweet and all the little touches were perfect! The huge outside table and adjustable shade, umbrellas everywhere. The box of pool towels and the cool rack to dry them on. The great cooking utensils, fans in the bedrooms, well designed bathrooms with shelves for toiletries etc. ... Even a pot if basil and parsley by the kitchen door... and screens! BUT we kept having to pinch ourselves to believe that this landscape was real. I know that the area is lovely but this view is like a movie backdrop! And allowing our party!!! OMG you two are THE BEST! Everyone had a marvelous time!! We can’t even thank you enough for making this family reunion a most perfect memory for everyone!

Great property in a stunning location
A fantastic base to explore this beautiful and diverse region of Italy. We very much enjoyed our time at the villa which was clean and modern with everything you could want for a great vacation. The property is a short drive from the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic and an hour away from the stunning Grand Sasso mountains. There are also many supermarkets and restaurants within a short drive. The pool proved to be a very popular place to unwind in the afternoon after a busy morning exploring. Sue and John are very attentive hosts and we're always available to answer our questions. I would throughly recommend a stay here it is a very special place with views that you will never tire of!

Fantastic newly built villa with amazing views
We had a fantastic week staying at the villa. The views that welcomed us in the evening were fantastic (the mountains of the Gran Sasso) and after spending the day flying from Stockholm and then traveling from Rome by car, we soon fell asleep in the comfortable beds. The house has a brand new feeling, very clean and with a bathroom for all of the large bedrooms. There is an outdoors dining area with enough chairs and tables for everyone. That also goes for the pool area were we spent many afternoons, swimming in the large swimming pool. Even though the weather was warm the villa stayed cold as long as you remembered to close the doors and windows that were exposed to the sun. During the week we explored the nearby area, with small villages and beaches. There is also a large shopping mall nearby with everything 2 families with small children might need during the stay. Our hosts Sue and John were also very helpful at all times and lived nearby so we could always reach them. All in all, 5 out of 5 stars.

An amazing stay at the Italian countryside
6 adults and 6 children looked for the feeling of the Italian countryside - and we found it! We couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. The surroundings were so beautiful and you could look in any direction and the views of the fields and mountains were there. When it comes to the house the great hosts Sue and John have thought of everything. Everything we wanted was there and it felt like we were living at a hotel. We would gladly be back for an other vacation at Il Frutteto!

Bella vacanza in tranquillità
La casa è ben descritta sul sito. Molto spaziosa e accogliente (eravamo in 8 o10 secondo i giorni). Strada sterrata di oltre 1 Km per raggiungerla con necessità di bassa velocità. Si sta tranquillamente in 10 adulti come famiglie (+ letti per i figli in alcune stanze) o giovani in gruppo che possono arrivare a 13-14. La piscina è ben tenuta e lo spazio ben organizzato con illuminazione fino a tarda serata. I proprietari sono inglesi, sono gentili e molto discreti; non parlano bene italiano ma alla fine ci si capisce. Gli infissi non sono del tutto ben funzionanti e le zanzariere sono vecchie e difficili da fissare. Scomoda la scala esterna per raggiungere le 4 stanze al piano superiore, soprattutto se piove! Dividendo la spesa si può accettare il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Siamo stati bene in tranquillità.

We stayed here for 10 days in July with a group of 16 people. What a magical place. The photos are beautiful but the reality is just much more beautiful. The house has everything you need and it is so nice to stay in the garden, on the terrace, .... Both young and old have enjoyed the house and the pool. And what a welcome by Sue: freshly baked cake, jam, corn flakes, milk and a bottle of prosecco and much more, because we arrived late. No two people are more hospitable than John and Sue. Thank you for making this a fantastic holiday together with your wonderful house. The view of the mountains made us dream and we will never forget ... an excellent base for nice trips ...

Großzügiges Haus in traumhafter Lage
Das großzügige Ferienhaus liegt traumhaft, fernab allen Trubels, ca. 25 min. von Giulianova inmitten von Olivenhainen und Weinbergen – im Hintergrund das beeindruckende Bergmassiv der Abruzzen. Wir haben dort mit 3 Familien (insgesamt 15 Personen) einen wunderbaren, sehr erholsamen Urlaub verbracht. Das Haus ist auch für diese Gruppengröße bestens ausgestattet. Es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Ein echter Geheimtipp auch für Familien mit Kindern! Besonders der große Pool und das weitläufige Grundstück sorgen für viel Abwechslung. Die Vermieter Sue und John sind sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Sue organisierte für uns eine Besichtigung der benachbarten Olivenölmanufaktur und übernahm die Rolle der Dolmetscherin.

Beautiful house in a wonderful setting
We rented the house for ten days in August, we are a large family, 10 adults with three children. The house is exactly as described and like the photos. All the bedrooms have private bathrooms which is a plus, modern furniture throughout the house and it has a fully equiped kitchen. Great outside space for eating and a super pool area which kept us cool in the hot afternoons. The house is situated in a lovely isolated setting, Sue and John were great hosts and made us feel at home. The children made friends with their very friendly dog, Amber. Abruzzo is a really beautiful region to visit and everyone is really friendly, Food and wine are the best.
