Large townhouse with views and historical character in the centre of Loreto Aprutino.


Lovingly restored by local craftsmen...

Loreto Aprutino, harmoniously situated in the rolling hills of Abruzzo, is surely among the most picturesque hilltop villages in all Italy. The town is also rich in culture and history boasting four independent museums, fine restaurants, and excellent local wine and olive oil production. This wonderful house with medieval roots is in the historical center of town, in Via Luna, near the Castello Chiola.

The house consists of about 120 square metres on five floors as follows:

  • Ground Floor: Main entry, plus adjoining wine cellar which can be accessed from inside or from an independent entry outside. The cellar includes a very characteristic old well in stone and brick, from which one can still draw water. There is also a WC with fittings for washer and dryer.
  • First floor: Living room / study with traditional vaulted ceilings and access to a small balcony window.
  • Second floor: Kitchen with balcony and ancient fireplace. One bathroom.
  • Third floor: Bedroom and bathroom.
  • Fourth floor: Bedroom with exposed wood beam ceilings. This room includes a fantastic view through the French doors which lead to the very private rooftop terrace.

The whole house is characterized by splendid views (the town, the surrounding hills and the Majella Mountains), ceilings and floors of ancient exposed brick, and fine authentic architectural details. The house is being completely renovated with new plumbing and electrical works, new central heating system, new roof and all new fixtures. Original and authentic building materials are used wherever possible.

The asking price is € 150.000 negotiable. Seller suggests 25% payable on signing of purchase agreement, with the remainder paid at the conclusion of restoration and sale. The house is available for inspection immediately, and all renovation work is expected to be completed by the end of 2008.
