Beautiful appartment in lovely, friendly Abruzzo
Our trip to Italy in March / April 2014 had been a dream in the making for years. We decided, somewhat at random, to make Lanciano in beautiful Abruzzo our home for a full five weeks; to abandon the usual tourist routine of trudging from city to city, in a hurry to see "everything" and to settle down in one spot and try to really experience life in Italy. We were incredibly fortunate in our choice of Apartment Querce, and our host Francesca. The apartment is beautiful, large, lots of light and spacious, with easily enough room for a family, though my wife and I were the only sole guests on this occasion. Though Francesca was away from Lanciano during our stay, we were put in the very capable hands of the housekeeper, Carmela, who rescued us on our first day, when we were hopelessly lost, patiently listened and helped us with our fractured Italian, provided us with groceries when needed and was a real friend to us during our visit. We will always remember and appreciate her kindness.
The apartment itself is very well appointed, with everything needed for an extended stay. the location is wonderful, a short 10 or 15 minute walk to the Centro Storico, close to shopping for food or other needs and only a 20 minute drive to the Adriatic Coast, and some of the bluest water one could ever see.
We loved our time in Lanciano and are already planning a return trip. Being close to retirement age, we will be visiting again, we hope many times.
