Perfetto! Super holiday!
Jools and Pete are true super-hosts! Warm and welcoming; kind and genuine. Casa del Zia is as described and the photos a true reflection. This lovely couple go above and beyond- they met us at the airport and we followed them to the villa in our hire car. They purchased an air conditioning unit to make us more comfortable in the heatwave. They are knowledgeable about the local area and have many recommendations to make..restaurants, beaches, gelaterias and activities. We have numerous holiday highlights, but one was going for Sunday lunch at the local agriturismo. A perfect way to immerse in Italian family culture. The facilities at the villa are superb and the pool is a real luxury treat! Thank you to you bothJools and Pete.

Gorgeous Best Stay Ever
To begin Pete and Jools as hosts have few peers. They were kind, gracious, welcoming, and attentive. Arriving at the villa, there was a welcome package carefully vetted beforehand of any preferences/allergies. The villa was clean, well equipped, and supremely comfortable. The views from the patio have to be seen to be believed, the perfect spot for a morning coffee, watching the sunset, or stargazing. Will plan on staying here again and feel like we have made new friends.

10 Star! Beautiful, clean and relaxing Villa - with pool and amazing views -
From the moment we booked Casa della Zia - we felt unique in that Peter and Julie cared for us by providing driving instructions - tips and suggestions regarding our stay. The villa is PeRFECTO - clean, great location, fully equipped kitchen, linens and towels etc. We felt at home from the moment we arrived - Peter and Julie were the perfect hosts- they were very respectful of our privacy while being available at the same time:) and their 3 cats and 2 dogs only added value to this whole experience. We hope to visit again soon- many thanks for sharing this beautiful home with us. Johanne and David

An idyllic spot in Abruzzo
This is the best holiday let we have ever had. The cottage is extremely well appointed, spacious, and comfortable, with lots of outside seating areas. Jools and Pete are wonderful hosts. They, are friendly and helpful. They have created a beautiful garden and the unrestricted use of the swimming pool was a god-send in the hot weather. The dogs, Mac and Moss, and the 3 cats are equally friendly and welcoming. There is a general store in the village that sells everything from food to clothing and shoes. In short we had a wonderful time here and will certainly return.

A perfect location for a relaxing holiday
Pete and Jools are your perfect hosts - being out of way , yet 5 yards away when advice is needed. And the Villa (or should we say house or Casa) is perfect for 2 . Upside down accom gives a cool bedroom at night yet the living room/kitchen provides everything needed (including a food welcome pack) and a patio giving the most spectacular views of Palombaro , the mountains and down the valley to Casoli. Down the road is Maria’s local shop/bar where all provisions are available - a 10 minute meander down and an invigorating 20 minute return walk to your Casa. The sights and sounds of Abruzzo take you back to a simple and friendlier time as the locals are charming and will converse with you as if you are a Abruzzian (?) . The value for money of the accommodation and the cost of local produce and refreshments cannot be faulted and together with the glorious weather we experienced made this one of our best holidays . And (how can we forget) the magnificent 12 m long pool which during our visit had a water temp of 26 to 28 deg C ! Lots more to say but having only returned today from the 2860 mile return drive to Abruzzo , rest is required ! Do not be in any doubt about booking this Casa with Pete and Jools as your friendly hosts. John and Sue Denham - Yorkshire.

Highly, highly recommended
Casa della Zia was the perfect holiday rental for us. Perched on a hill-side, gazing out on the green valley below, the lovely neighbouring hill-top towns of Palombaro and Casoli, and the beginnings of the mountainous Maiella National Park, we were transfixed. We breakfasted on the sun-drenched upper patio, within easy reach of the well-equipped kitchen. We swam in the wonderful pool, and we lazed on the loungers in the shade beside the pool. We slept deeply in the cool lower bedroom, and showered in the lovely bathroom. We have been fortunate to travel to many parts of the world and stay in all sorts of accommodation, and Casa della Zia was right up there with the best of them. Our hosts, Pete and Jools, were great – on hand if needed, but not impinging at all on our privacy. They were very helpful when we were trying to negotiate through our first week’s isolation and through the bureaucracy of obtaining the necessary antigen testing. Jools’s conversational Italian was particularly impressive! Many thanks to you both. We travelled widely through Abruzzo, visiting L’Aquila, Sulmona, Castel del Monte, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Guardiagrele, Casoli, Palombaro, Pescara, Ortona, San Vito Chietino, the beach at Le Morge, and Vasto, and seeing some astonishingly beautiful scenery. The Abruzzese were unfailingly friendly and helpful, and very tolerant of our poor grasp of the Italian language. Highly, highly recommended.

Just Fantastic
We had a wonderful week; totally relaxing. Detached property with a very private terrace and stunning views. Jools and Pete were perfect hosts; so considerate and obliging. They took particular care to ensure we had the maximum privacy but were there to help if needed. The infinity pool was fantastic and totally private. Nearby there were plenty of interesting places to visit but we were so taken with the location we stayed put! There’s a great food store within walking distance which has everything you might need at a reasonable price . We can’t wait to go back.

"Room" with a view !
A very happy holiday- two weeks in September and we wished it could have been three! We were looked after very well and had all and more that we needed, so it was too easy to sit on the large balcony and do nothing but gaze at the view! However, for the more energetic the Abruzzo is stuffed full of things to see, the coast is near and the mountains are on the doorstep. The only word of warning - the mosquitoes seem worse than in previous years in this part of Italy but thankfully there were nets on all the windows! (Bring good mozzie repellent if you are susceptible -the local shops have plentiful supplies too!). We shall be back!
