Idyllic Villa, with Infinity Pool, 4 air conditioned bedrooms & stunning views.

Nestled atop a picturesque hill, and cooled by summer breezes, our stunning villa overlooks the charming town of Torino di Sangro on the unspoiled Trabocchi coast in Abruzzo. Surrounded by spectacular views of the Majella mountains and the ocean, you'll find the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday.

Our villa allows you to enjoy the local Italian village's charm from a comfortable distance while providing ultimate privacy and relaxation. Swim in the refreshing infinity pool during the day or take a 10-minute drive to one of Italy's cleanest and safest beaches for a wonderful beach experience.

Only recently upgraded, the house now includes a children’s bedroom with four bunks and an additional bathroom/laundry room. We have also installed air conditioning in all the bedrooms and strengthened the management team.

Set within private, gated grounds, our villa features a beautiful garden and several terraces for al fresco dining. Inside, the open plan kitchen, dining space, and comfortable sitting room with large leather sofas offer a cosy space to unwind together.

The ground floor houses two double bedrooms and a bathroom, while upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom and bathroom alongside a minstrel's gallery with a comfortable sofa overlooking the local village. The roof veranda, furnished with a wrought iron table and chairs, sets the perfect stage for evening suppers in the balmy summer air.

For those seeking more energetic activities, a games room provides table football and table tennis matches. This space is also ideal for children, as we offer two sets of bunk beds in the games room for extra sleeping arrangements. A new bathroom is located off the games room, housing a washing machine for your convenience.

Villa Farfalla is designed for guests who appreciate a harmonious and respectful atmosphere, providing the perfect balance of relaxation and enjoyment in the heart of Abruzzo.

When you're ready to explore beyond the villa, indulge in delicious local food and wine at the nearby bars and restaurants.

Here are some of the nearby attractions (short drive) you can enjoy during your stay:
Vasto – Explore the lovely hilltop town of Vasto, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The medieval center boasts beautiful 15th-century buildings, the impressive Caldoresco Castle, and the Palazzo d'Avalos. Wander through narrow alleyways and discover Roman excavations, churches, and mansions. After exploring the old center, relax on the nearby golden beach or enjoy a delicious lunch by the Vasto Marina. In the evening visit charming boutiques, artisanal shops, and local markets which offer a unique selection of Italian crafts, fashion, and delicious regional delicacies.

Aqualand Water Park – Experience a fun-filled day at Aqualand's water park, with attractions designed for both adults and children. Enjoy adrenaline-pumping rides like the mini toboggan kamikaze, bumper boats, wave pool, and whirlpool, providing smiles and excitement for everyone!

Western Abruzzo (inland) – Discover the breathtaking mountain scenery of Western Abruzzo. Visit popular ski resorts, ancient churches, castles, and historic monuments. Explore the picturesque L'Aquila, capital of Abruzzo, and the restored village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Experience the charm of Navelli and admire the castles at Castel del Monte and Rocca Calascio.

Beautiful villa with stunning views
We loved our stay here, the villa is situated in a stunning spot and within an easy drive of Pescara (take the coast road from the airport for a slower journey with lovely views). Everything was well equipped and comfortable. Vivien and Rob were on hand for any queries and very responsive. If you like wildlife you will be in your element as you can sit by the pool bird watching for hours, the view extends all the way to the sea, and there are various walks from the villa as well. We had four adults staying, with plenty of room. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful, restorative stay on a hillside
We loved staying in this property. We had originally intended to just stay a couple of days as a stop over but loved it so much that we drove back over 200 miles to stay there again! The house is comfortable, warm and well equipped. We stayed in January and were very warm and comfortable. The views all around the property are absolutely magnificent. The owner, Viv, is very easy to communicate with and Ana Maria and her husband very helpful and supportive without being at all intrusive. Thanks so much to Viv for a wonderful couple of stays.

Stunning tranquil location
We had a lovely time in Villa Farfalla. The property is very well equipped, our 3 year old especially loved playing with the toys and in the pool. We enjoyed visiting the local village, nearby beaches and relaxing by the pool while taking in the stunning views. Ana Maria and Domenico also provided us with a fabulous seafood dinner. Thanks for your hospitality, Alex.

Stunning Villa & location
We really enjoyed our stay in Abruzzo, Villa is gorgeous and the views are spectacular. Torino di Sangro is a typical Italian Village and the people are so friendly and polite. Beaches are spectacular with a visit to a local Trabocco a must, but be prepared to eat lots. My Mother is Italian so am used to the culture and food but this was our first trip to Abruzzo, we love it so much we are hopefully going to buy a holiday home in Torino di Sangro, Vivien you should start getting commision! AnnaMaria and Domenico who look after the property are also lovely and helpful. Not everything os open in October but a great time to just chill and the weather is still better than an English Summer. We had a lovely holiday, can't recommend it enough.

Bella!
A fantastic villa with stunning near 360 degree views whose owners are attentive and a pleasure to deal with. We stayed with my family of 5 (two teenagers and a 10 year old) together with two further adults: there is enough space outside to all enjoy the fantastic sea and mountain views and just enough space inside using a sofa bed for all to sleep comfortably. The kitchen is an adequate size and is well stocked with pans and utensils. All bedrooms have good beds and linens and there were numerous board games to supplement the TV (which we didn't turn on). The local village is near but the walk is not suitable for the aged / infirm / moaning teenagers who might view the steep roads as a chore! The local beach is well organised with loungers and has lovely sand and a calm sheltered swimming area. Local restaurants are of a good quality and reasonably priced (e.g a main pasta for 10 Euros, a meat or fish for <15 Euros, wine around10 Euros etc). Vivien the owner is a pleasure to deal with and we understand that she spends some time at the villa herself when possible - the place has the feel of a home rather than a straight rental property and is all the better for it. There is a games room with a table tennis and table football games for any rainy days (we had zero) and the pool is a really good size with offset steps and a fixed depth (about a metre?) For non-swimmers there is the attached spill over smaller pool which is shallow and would be great for little kids to splash in. The local management contacts are a pleasure to deal with and Domenico can be your personal chef if desired (he's an ex restaurateur from Milan!). Try to learn some Italian before coming to this area as it is very local but this was exactly what we wanted! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and its the only villa we've stayed in where we would seriously consider a return visit - highly recommended!

Beautiful as every year!
We enjoyed two wonderful weeks in this beautiful place. We have had tropical days, unusual here, and so we cooled down in the pool or at the sea. Italien food is our favorite, we enjoyed dinners with "cozze e vongole" and fresh fish. This year was our 3rd here, we feel very comfortable here and have recommended this wonderful place to our neighbours who will visit Torino next year.

Villa Farfalla
Nous nous sommes rendus dans les Abruzzes pour retrouver la famille.la maison est très bien placée entre montagne et mer et le beau temps au rendez-vous (entre 22et28 degrés).Le ménage mériterait d’être approfondie mais l’accueil a été très sympathique malgré l’heure tardive de notre arrivée, nous avons bien apprécié la bouteille de vin qui nous attendait ! La maison était très agréable et nous avons passé un très bon séjour

Merveilleuse semaine à la villa Farfalla
Nous avons passé une semaine en famille dans la très belle maison de Vivien et tout était parfait. Même avant d’arriver, tout est facilité par sa réactivité et sa gentillesse. On voit tout de suite que c’est une vraie maison de famille : d’abord parce qu’il n’y manque rien et surtout parce qu’elle est pleine de charme. Le cadre est splendide, avec une vue imprenable sur Torino di Sangro (très beau coucher de soleil à admirer de l’une ou l’autre terrasse). Il y a toujours un endroit adapté selon l’heure de la journée pour profiter au mieux du soleil ou de l’ombre. La piscine est magnifique et quelqu’un vient s’occuper de son entretien. Mais la mer n’est qu’à 10-15 minutes. Mi-septembre, l’eau était à 28°, donc nous en avons bien profité. Un peu plus loin, il y a de très belles randonnées à faire dans les Abruzzes, de tout niveau et nous ne nous attendions pas à voir des animaux (cerfs, sangliers) ni à ce que la région soit si verte, on est quand même en Italie ! Mais ça on se le rappelle dès qu’on mange une glace à la gelateria de Casalbordino… Nous sommes venus de Normandie en voiture donc c’est un très long chemin, mais tous les cinq y reviendrions volontiers.

We spent one week in that beautiful Villa. I have so say only one week because we all agreed we could have spent month. The house, garden and pool were very clean and you could just feel comfortable and relax. I have experienced so many accommodations in my life but this one was really the best ever. Even the contact with the owner Vivien (not living in Italy) was very warm and friendly. She is really taking care of her guests and want them to enjoy their vacations. To make a long story short I can just recommend spending vacations in that object. Thanks to Vivien, Ana Maria and Domenico!

Eigentlich dürfte man gar nichts über das Haus schreiben, denn jeder der mal dort war wird wieder hinwollen. Alleinlage mit Meerblick, sauber und überaus komplett ausgestattet. Neben kompletter Küche mit allen notwendigen Dingen gab es noch Notvorräte falls doch mal ein Paket Nudeln oder eine Flasche Wein vergessen wurde. Dazu viele Spielgeräte für die Kinder für Pool und Strand. Aus unserer Sicht für 8 Personen ideal, für 10 müssen Tische gerückt werden. Wir werden hoffentlich mal wieder hinfahren. Vielen Dank.

Traumvilla mit phantastischem Panoramablick
Gerne bestätigen wir die positiven Aussagen der vorherigen Bewertungen. Die Villa bietet einen gigantischen Panoramarundblick ans Meer, Torino di Sangra gegenüber und die Berge sowie atemberaubende Sonnenuntergänge. Die Ausstattung der Villa und die liebevolle Einrichtung ließen keine Wünsche offen. Die Sauberkeit der Villa ist für italienische Verhältnisse überdurchschnittlich. Die Lage ist wirklich optimal für Ausflüge in den Abruzzen sowie nur 10 Min ans Meer mit super Strandabschnitten Einen besonderen Dank gilt unseren tollen Gastgebern Ana Maria und Domenico für die Gastfreundschaft und tolle Unterstützung! Besonders hervorzuheben war das großartige Essen von Domenico am letzten Urlaubstag. Auch die Kommunikation mit Vivian der Besitzerin war hervorragend. Wir können dieses Haus zu 100% weiterempfehlen und hoffen auf weitere Aufenthalte an diesem ganz besonderen Ort.

Piacevole vacanza con amici
Ho soggiornato in questa bella casa in Abruzzo con un gruppo di amici. Sia la casa che la piscina sono molto belle come in foto se non addirittura di più. La villa si trova in una zona abbastanza isolata ed è quindi perfetta per chi vuole passare una settimana in tranquillità. Nonostante ciò spostandosi con la macchina si è molto vicini al mare e a tutti i servizi necessari come supermercati o simili. Spostandosi poco di più è anche possibili fare delle belle escursioni in alcune riserve naturali. Unica pecca della è la presenza di numerosi insetti di diverso tipo. Detto ciò il soggiorno è stato fantastico e consiglio la villa a chiunque voglia passare una settimana con gli amici o la famiglia.
