Aug 13, 2018 #### A lovely stay in an absolutely stunning setting We would thoroughly recommend a stay in Casa Maya. Valerie is an exceptional host, doing her very best to ensure you get the best from your stay, from researching local festivals to booking restaurants (when our own Italian failed mid phone call). We’d never visited Abruzzo before and were totally charmed - very untouristy, gorgeous hilltop towns, beautiful beaches, stunning views, not least from the house’s rooftop terrace. The house is comfortable and well set up with a large patio for eating, playing and swimming. The setting is rural and very peaceful. ##### Katharine S. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa D. Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views We have family about 30 min away. The location was perfect. We did get a little lost finding the villa but the host Valerie helped us all the way. Valerie was amazing she couldn’t do any more for us. I would recommend not arriving in the dark unless you know the area. The views are amazing you could never get bored! You will need a car to get around the roads are so quiet and so smooth to drive on (we have lots of pi holes were we live). Great if you love cycling like my partner he rented a bike in francavilla. Would go back again ##### Melissa D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nancy g. May 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular setting, wonderful attention by our host We loved staying at the Serramonacesca house…such a peaceful place in the most spectacular setting. We could happily spend our time on the back terrace overlooking the glorious countryside; and we made our way up the circular staircase every night for appetizers and then dinner, enveloped by the sunset and then watching the lights of Manopello go on, one by one. But there was so much else to do, within easy reach of the house, that we loved this too; and Valerie went above and beyond as a host, constantly available , responsive, and full of excellent advice, from details on anything we asked, down to the best local back roads to take. Special thanks to you, Valerie. ##### nancy g.

Jul 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dejligt hus i et område med gode muligheder for at vandre Casa Maya er et dejligt hus med en fantastisk udsigt. Vi er en familie på 4 som er glade for at vandre, hvilket området gav gode mulighed er for. Vi havde en skøn ferie i Valeries hus. Valerie er en meget opmærksom værtinde, hun er hjælpsom og meget imødekommende. Hun hjælper gerne med forslag til ture i området, og hvis der opstår et behov for hjælp til at oversætte. Vi vil helt sikkert gerne komme tilbage. ##### Camilla B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew A. Jul 27, 2017 #### Relaxing countryside hideaway Me and my wife stayed at Casa Maya in July 2017 for ten wonderful days. The views all around the villa are simply stunning, especially from the third floor terrace, a must see. The property is totally private, unlike a lot of properties that are for rent which are adjacent to the owners property, Casa Maya is without doubt total privacy. We struggled to go out sight seeing for the first few days as we simply didn't want to do anything else except enjoy the property and its amenities. Supermarkets were a fifteen minute drive away in Scafa or Manoppello Scalo, which had all the provisions you required. We ate out at Lu Gattone which is a very short drive away, the food was traditional Italian food served in a very homely and friendly atmosphere, very good food and prices, the owner was tremendously friendly. Also ate in Manopello Scalo at Ristorante De Guilda , where the food again was very good, where we also had the most delicious bottle of pecorino we have ever had. Casa Maya had all the amenities we could need or want and was very clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend this property. Valerie the owner was very helpful in terms of directions and local amenities, and was always available at the other end of the phone if needed. The local farmer serves fresh cheese but unfortunately we didn't seem to be able to time catching them, maybe next time. Regards Andy Adcroft ##### Andrew A.

Jul 23, 2017 #### Mooie woning op een prachtplek De eigenaresse Valerie was erg behulpzaam, ze deed veel moeite voor ons om er een leuke vakantie van te maken. De woning ligt op een plek met veel privacy en een prachtig uitzicht over de omgeving. Er was door Valerie brood, kaas, fruit en ingrediënten voor een pastagerecht geregeld bij onze aankomst. Het is een ruime woning met ook in woning voldoende privacy als je met meerderen op vakantie bent. De omgeving biedt voldoende uitdagingen om je vakantiedagen kleur te geven. Strand en het Majella-gebergte binnen een half uur rijden. Leuke restaurantjes in de buurt en overal vriendelijke behulpzame mensen. Italie op zijn best!! ##### Guido H.

Jun 12, 2016 #### MOUNTAINS, MEDIEVAL CHURCHES & MONTEPULCIANIO This is a spacious airy house and with just the two of us there was plenty of room. The first impression is imposing, on a hilltop with mountain views in all directions. All the facilities are here in the house, and the two ancient, neighbouring villages are very useful for basic essentials. We were lucky with the weather, and enjoyed a lovely, relaxing holiday, reading and writing and visiting a couple of historic nearby towns. We'd certainly like to return. ##### GERRY H.

Stayed here last year for a week and fell in love with it! The house is perfectly situated in the hills and the surrounding views are incredible. Location is great, not far from the airport or the beach and situated close to two small towns for groceries and restaurants/bars. The house itself is beautiful; it is in a lovely condition, very well looked after and has everything you need. Definitely recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed! ##### Steven B.

Jun 28, 2015 #### Beautifull views, peacefull and perfect location We loved staying at casa Maya, it was so peaceful and the views were stunning. The property was very clean and well maintained. We went to a few different restaurants near the house in the small villages. We also visited Pescara that is by the beach and the food in the restaurants were amazing and atmosphere was friendly. We would recommend to all our family and friends and would love to visit again in the future. ##### Hayleigh W.

The first thing to mention are the breathtaking views and complete rural tranquility. The house always seemed amply big enough for the 5 of us and evenings were spent with barbecues on the terrace and wine round the log fire afterwards. Several of the nearby villages are accessible by foot, are charming and have a few (very reasonably priced) restaurants serving regional dishes. The presence of a farm shop only a few hundred metres away from the house means that one could spend many car-less days just reading and enjoying the pool: when we did venture further afield we found completely unspoiled and relatively unknown towns set in a dream-like landscape of meadows, wide-open skies and shady ravines. Picking up friends from the Airport at Pescara was an easy 25 min drive, with the sea and beaches about 35 mins away. This house is breathtaking and ideally situated between mountain and sea in a relatively undiscovered corner of Italy. Highly recommended!
