Nestled in the Wooded Foothills of the Maiella National Park, Abruzzo, Italy

In the foothills of the Maiella National Park 'Casa in Legno' provides the perfect setting for a taste of real Italy.
Situated on a steeply sloping wooded site in the hamlet of Limiti, near Palombaro, Chieti, Abruzzo, 'Casa in Legno' offers accomodation on two level terraces.
At the top is the main house; a two bedroomed villa with open plan accomodation downstairs. The master bedroom has a double bed and ensuite facilities whilst the second bedroom is equipped with twin beds with a family bathroom just outside the door. Both bedrooms open out onto a large glass fronted balcony with commanding views across the valley to the hill top town of Palombaro. The ground floor has an expansive covered terrace for eating outdoors on those balmy summer evenings.
The sun drenched lower terrace provides the setting for the swimming pool and pool house. The poolhouse is its own private apartment with a double bedroom, showerroom and kitchen/living room with double sofa bed. Please note that we do not let out the properties separately and that the whole site including the pool would be for your sole usage.
Both properties are newly constructed. The photos shown on this website were taken in March before the surrounding trees had come into leaf. Work is ongoing.
Whilst the interiors are complete the landscaping of the site remains in its natural state.
Visitors should be aware that there are steep slopes and big drops both on our land and in the surrounding area which could be dangerous especially for young children. Fencing and landscaping is ongoing but no work will be carried out during your stay.
The road up to the property is steep and narrow and the last 200 metres is a gravel track. Clients should be aware that a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended and that low profile tyres are generally not good news throughout the area.
If you have any concerns please contact us.

Has so much potential
It should be noted that you should arrive in the day if it's your first time here. Even trimming the brush on the road would be an improvement. Although very nicely decorated there were lots of minor things that need to be tended too. We were the last of the guests for the season and it was our impression they were letting things go for the owner to deal with, so hopefully they will be improved or fixed. Air conditioner in the pool house leaked water, the pool pump did not work well as it leaked therefore tripping the power to the pool house. David the care taker was very responsive but he could only do so much. The water was shut off (by the city?) 3 of the mornings which made it difficult to prepare for the day. The outdoor table was broken and never replaced. The welcome gift was a very nice gesture. A recommendation would be to have a better coffee maker as the French press and Italian coffee pot was not sufficient for 6 people. A pod system coffee pot would be best as pods are available everywhere. The views and tranquility of the villa are amazing.

What a Beautiful Setting
Loved the home and the location in the shadow of the Maiella National Park. Just as an FYI for future visitors, Google maps brings you in from above the property so follow the owner's directions when you get close. The driveway is steep. Well designed home with awesome doors and windows.

Beautiful and peaceful
It's been an absolute pleasure to stay at Casa in Legno. A beautiful, peaceful location with amazing views that constantly change with the light. The house is clean and tidy with a homely feel to it. There is plenty of shade and seating options on the terrace and Cynthia's balcony is an amazing place to relax in the evening whilst watching the hilltop villages and the houses in the valley below twinkle in the night sky. The kitchen is very well equipped and only let down by the lack of a decent sharp knife and some of the pans. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable but frustratingly storage is limited due to the wardrobe and drawers already being mostly full. The pool seems to have been repainted and whatever was used has not adhered to the walls and bottom and is blistering and peeling off. Although it was looking a bit tired it was very warm and cleaned regularly by David and we spent many happy hours in and beside it. The track up to the house although steep and a little bumpy in places is fine if you take it slowly, even our little Lancia Ypsilon made it comfortably even though it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. It is well worth an evening stroll down to the Agriturismo L'Uliveto for great food and hospitality. Further down the road is De Vitis Maria Domenica’s or Maria's which is a friendly treasure trove of basics plus a lot more.

Magnificent Maiella
Our family had an amazing stay at Casa in Legno. Barrie was a great and responsive host. The area is beautiful and peaceful. Each morning we looked out on beautiful fields, mountains and a hill top town. This is a great location for exploring the rural part of Abruzzo!

Incredible view
The pictures do not do the view justice. We cried from the beauty when we arrived. The house is modern and has high end finishes, and the transparent railings on the balcony allow for a clear view of the incredible scenery. The people in the town are very friendly, especially the staff at Di Vitis which is close by with a selection of food, wine, and staples. The location is about a 20-minute ride from the must-see castle in Roccascalagna. The host, Barrie, and the caretaker, David, are very friendly and helpful. I plan to return with other members of my family.

Perfect location
Great house with great views on the surrounding mountains. Was able to relax by the pool while looking out at the country side with the mountains in the backdrop. Great restaurants nearby all within a 15 minute drive radius. House was clean and had all amenities needed for our week long stay.

Lovely stay in Limiti
We had a wonderful stay in Limiti. 😊 The villa is very well appointed, and the views are to die for. A few, small problems was quickly taken care of, and the communication with both the owner and the caretaker was very easy. We hope to return again in the future!
