La Casa dell’Olmo Monumentale

Spacious Top-Floor Apartment in a Historic Palazzo with Stunning Majella Views

This spacious apartment is located in a historic palazzo in the heart of the medieval village of Tocco da Casauria, in a strategic position between the sea and the mountains and conveniently connected to the Pescara–Rome highway. The area is quiet and authentic, with restaurants, shops, and services nearby, and public parking just a short walk from the property.

The apartment is on the top floor of a building built on the hillside of the historic center and has two entrances: one from the street at ground level and another from a pedestrian alley on the opposite side, which corresponds to the second-floor level. The two entrances are connected by a charming stone staircase, likely dating back to the medieval period. Entering from the alley, where public parking is very close, you go up two floors along a charming stone staircase to reach the top floor.

Inside, a corridor leads on the right to a bedroom and the kitchen with an open fireplace. On the left, another corridor leads to a small bathroom, passes a closet room, and opens into the large living room, which connects to the second bedroom. These two rooms are particularly bright with large windows offering an exceptional view of the Majella mountains. In front of the window stands one of the largest monumental elm trees in Italy. Part of the property is a small cellar accessible from the alley, suitable for wine storage or bicycles.

The apartment is part of a historic building that will soon undergo exterior renovations and seismic upgrades, carried out and funded by the Italian government. Interior renovations are the responsibility of individual owners. The apartment requires updating of electrical and plumbing systems, as well as new windows and fixtures.

The property offers a unique historic charm and is ideal for those who appreciate dynamic spaces and the authentic character of period homes.

Tocco da Casauria is a village of about 2,700 residents, known for its DOP olive oil, local wines, and the famous Centerba Toro liqueur. Known as the “village of wind,” it is a leading example in renewable energy, producing more electricity than it consumes. This project has received international recognition as a model of innovation in wind energy.
