About us…
Hello, we are Judy and James. We are English and we have been living and working in Vasto for 15 years. We originally bought a holiday home here and liked it so much, that within 2 years we had moved here permanently. We have been renting out our holiday properties in Vasto to travellers keen to experience ‘real’ Italy, and all the delights that the town and beach have to offer.
Many of our guests have returned and are now like old friends! As well as our extensive local knowledge, We also provide a full information brochure in the properties with areas of local
interest, maps, recommended restaurants and a full programme of events for during your stay. We also live close to our casa, so we are on hand with help and advice for our guests if needed. We meet and greet each and every guest on arrival, to welcome them to Vasto and show them to the property.
Our holiday rental property is located in the historical center of medieval Vasto, Abruzzo, Italy. Vasto is on the Adriatic coast in the Chieti region, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Vasto town is built on the Roman ruins of Histonium, and is a medieval town with great charm and character. Vasto has been an important city since Roman times – the Roman baths and part of the original amphitheatre are still to be seen – and the character and history are everywhere in the Centro Storico (historical center) where our property is located. The town overlooks the beach of the Golfo D’Oro (golden gulf) with views down as far as the Gargano peninsular – the spur on the boot of Italy to the right, and the nature parks of Punta Penna and Punta A’Derci to the left.
There is plenty to see and do in the town itself, churches and cathedrals, museums, the Roman baths with mosaics, a medieval castle, the lovely park with it’s large duck pond and fountain and children’s play area and the beautiful imposing Palace. There is also a running track, a tennis club, indoor swimming pool and a gym, all within a few minutes walk of our centrally located property. Team all that with the fantastic restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, markets and boutiques, and you have a perfect holiday destination whether it be for a short city break or a fortnight on the beach.
There really is no need for a car here as everything for a perfect holiday is located within a few minutes of your doorstep. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful town of Vasto!
