About this apartment rental
Spacious, carefully restored house inside medieval walls, two terraces. Part of an old palazzo, vaulted brick ceilings on ground floor, frescoed vaults on piano nobile, handmade terracotta tiles, travertine in bathrooms, oak parquet in bedrooms and living room. Large well-equipped kitchen with a generous dining area. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Large terrace facing the Duomo and the Maiella mountains, small terrace downstairs. Blend of antique and modern furniture. Wireless broadband internet.
Three min from the main piazza. Stroll the cobbled alleys of this bustling town, famous for its brick facades; drop into one of its museums; enjoy a drink in one of the many cafés, a splendid meal in one of its better restaurants; or explore the pleasant tracks of nearby Lago di Penne or the hike to Monte Bertona and beyond. Beaches or tracked mountain routes are within half an hour’s drive. Easily accessible from international airports in Pescara (35 min) or Rome (2,5 h). Inexpensive rental car from the airport.
Penne is beautifully located at the foot of the Gran Sasso, with the highest peaks of the Apennines, yet only half an hour by car from Pescara and other Adriatic beaches. Unlike many old hill towns, Penne remains vibrant with lots of restaurants, cafés, and shops of all kinds inside the medieval walls, as well a cathedral and numerous churches and museums. Big street market on Saturdays. Nice tracks around the Lago di Penne, a WWF site with more than 160 bird species only 5 minutes outside town, splendid mountain hikes from nearby Montebello di Bertona (15 min drive). Penne is older than Rome and was the capital of the Vestini people before becoming an important Roman town. Later it was the seat of a countdom; its rebellion in 1837 against the Bourbon rulers of Naples and Sicily was among the early sparks of Italy’s risorgimento and unification. Only 35 minutes from Pescara’s international airport.

Beautiful home and perfect location. Olav gave us great information on local restaurants and things to see during our stay. Would love to stay here again if we return to Penne.

Our stay in Penne was nothing short of magical. The house itself was exactly what I would consider my dream Italian home—with beautiful vaulted ceilings, tasteful décor, and an atmosphere that felt both authentic and welcoming. It was clean, comfortable, and full of charm.Olav, the owner, was wonderfully communicative and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The town of Penne is absolutely adorable and completely walkable, with friendly, kind, and helpful locals who made us feel at home. Every restaurant we tried was amazing, serving delicious food that captured the flavors of the region.Penne is a charming little hill town nestled between the Gran Sasso National Park and the Adriatic Sea—perfectly positioned for exploring both the mountains and the coast. Staying here was truly unforgettable, and I can’t wait to return.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette ville très agréable proche de la mer et de la montagne avec des paysages à couper le souffle, la voiture est indispensable mais les trajets se font bien car pas de bouchons : très peu de touristes. La maison nous a enchantés, elle est très spacieuse, décorée avec goût, rien ne manque et le propriétaire a vraiment pensé aux vacanciers en laissant et préparant de la documentation très complète sur les environs.
