The house is less than 100 metres from the local Pizzeria/Restaurant and bar which serves fantastic Pizzas. The supermarket is 200 metres up the road and the local petrol station is just down the road, this too has a bar and serves snacks. In the village there are a number of bars, 2 restaurants, a bank with cash point, a number of shops and a pharmacy. There is a bus service which goes to Casalbordino and Lanciano. The train station is by the coast and serves Vasto and Pescara.
Lanciano has a lot of restaurants, a number of shopping centres, a bowling alley and cinema. Vasto has a large water park which is open from June to October and numerous bars, restaurants, hotels and shops. All the surrounding villages have restaurants to try. In the summer months there is a train which goes into the National Park and there is a boat to the island of Tremeti. If you fancy a trip to Rome there is a train from Pescara or a bus from Lanciano. By car it takes 2 hours to the Rome ring road (GRA).

Towels and linen are provided but beach towels are not. The property is cleaned on changeover. If you wish additional cleaning during this can be arranged.

The property is a stone throw from the local bus service and other amenities including the supermarket and pizzeria/restaurant. The first floor location means that there is a small flight of stairs which makes it unsuitable for wheel chair access (sorry).

The property is located in the village of Torino di Sangro in the Chieti region of Abruzzo. The village and its surrounding area is a thriving agricultural community the main crops being Olives and Wine but also an amazing range of crops are grown here including figs, tobacco, melons, tomatoes, herbs, potatoes, onions, nuts and so on. Also the whole area is abundant in fish restaurants and good meat restaurants serving lamb, pork, beef, rabbit, chicken and boar.

The nearest airport is that of Pescara and the transfer time is about 45 minutes. Pescara airport is a joy. You walk off the plane straight through customs and into the baggage claim (one belt only) and straight out to the car hire. The whole place is totally relaxed. You can come straight of the plane and go over to Auchan to stock up with everything you will need for your visit.
Ryanair fly from Stansted to Pescara and the journey takes about 2 and a half hours.
If you are travelling from the North of England you may prefer to travel from Liverpool to Rome Ciampino with Ryanair or with one of the other carriers from Manchester (Jet2.com) or from other regional airports with Easyjet. Either way there is a brilliant 2 and a half hour journey from Rome to Torino di Sangro. This is a very straightforward route which we will send you when you book. I much prefer driving from Rome than driving to Stansted. Other options are available so let us know where you are coming from and we will

The Adriatic coast runs the length of Abruzzo from Alba Adriatica in the North to Vasto in the South. The 45km coastline from Ortona to Vasto known as the "Trabocchi Coast" due to the occurrence of strange wooden fishing piers which use nets, ropes and winches to fish the shallow waters. The beaches all along the coast have their own characters. There are beautiful sandy beaches, the best of which is le morge, which is the nearest beach to Torino di Sangro. Casalbordino, San Vito and Vasto also have great beaches with lots going on in the summer months of July & August. In fact the place transforms in July & August and all life transfers to the beaches. All along the coast there are a miriad of specialist fish restaurants. I was never a fish lover until I came to Abruzzo, but the way they prepare and cook the fish here has made me a convert. We have many recommendations for the best value and quality restaurants I have come across. Pizza, Pasta & meat are just as well represented here.
