About this property

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 . 2024 POOL OPENS 11 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.

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.

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

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.

A beautiful modern house in a lovely location
Il Frutetto is a real find! It is modern, comfortable and ideally located between the mountains and the sea in a beautiful rural spot that is actually very close to Bellante, and only a short drive away from Teramo. It's owners, who live nearby, are really friendly and helpful, and it has very flexible accommodation which was brand new and beautifully clean. It's a great place to stay for big families or groups of friends. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by John & Sue Hill

Host profile image
We are an English couple, we always had a dream to live in Italy and enjoy the good life so we bought a ruin in a fantastic location and transformed it into our beautiful villa. Its been hard work but finally we have reached our goal and we love life here and welcoming guests from all over the world to enjoy our slice of Italy.
We live in an apartment attached to the main house with completely separate access so guests have complete privacy but we are available if you have any problems otherwise we tend the vegetable garden and orchard and maintain the pool . We have a dog called Amber who is very friendly and very relaxed, she spends most of her time asleep !

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as a ruin because of its location and stunning views and then we had a new villa purpose built for bed & breakfast/villa rental with outside spaces built to make the most of the views. Now we run it as B&B part of the time and whole house rental in the main holiday period.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful location, stunning views, easy access to all parts of Abruzzo.
