Description
Historic Residence with Pool and Centuries-Old Olive Groves
The large and prestigious villa is located just 3 minutes by car – or about 3 km on foot along well-paved country roads – from the historic town of Loreto Aprutino, in the heart of Abruzzo. This charming medieval hilltown enjoys a privileged position between the Gran Sasso mountains and the Adriatic Sea, surrounded by rolling hills covered with centuries-old olive groves. The property is truly unique: perfectly restored, well connected, and successfully combining historical character with modern comfort.
Location and outdoor spaces
The villa sits in a stunning panoramic position, with open views across the surrounding hills. It is easily accessible via a quiet municipal road that directly links Loreto Aprutino with the nearby town of Penne. The spacious courtyard, recently repaved in traditional brickwork, serves as the property’s main entrance. It features two driveways and a pedestrian gate, leading directly to the landscaped garden and pool area. The enclosed garden measures about 3,000 m² and includes a 25 m² covered veranda with a utility room below, a brick pizza oven, and a barbecue.
The highlight of the outdoor area is the 10 x 4.5 m swimming pool, secured with fencing and equipped with an outdoor shower, set within a fragrant Mediterranean garden that can be enjoyed most of the year thanks to the mild climate. Parking spaces are available both inside and outside the fenced area, directly adjacent to the villa.
Land and cultivation
Beyond the 2 m-high fence, the estate extends over further building and agricultural land. A historic olive grove with approximately 260 centuries-old trees of the native Dritta variety forms a continuous and highly valuable olive heritage. The estate also includes walnut, almond, and fruit trees, together with a flat plot of arable land served by an irrigation well – ideal for vegetable cultivation (tomatoes, potatoes, artichokes).
The villa
This historic residence has been restored with meticulous care, preserving original features such as brick vaults and exposed brick façades, while integrating modern high-standard systems: double-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels, solar thermal system, and GPL gas heating. The building is arranged over four levels (basement, ground floor, first floor, and attic), complemented by panoramic terraces and balconies offering privacy and breathtaking views.
- Basement – Cellar (approx. 145 m²): dual access from the courtyard, a large 70 m² hall, three storage rooms with sanitary facilities. Versatile spaces, ideal for meetings, workshops, seminars, studios, or private use.
- Ground floor (approx. 70 m²): independent apartment with private access from the terrace, connected to the courtyard by an external staircase. It includes three bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom, a kitchen, and a 35 m² veranda. A large 100 m² panoramic terrace overlooks the olive groves.
- First floor (approx. 115 m²): the main residence, accessible both from the courtyard via an external staircase and internally via a spiral staircase. It offers a spacious living room with a wood stove designed for olive wood, a large kitchen, two bedrooms, and three bathrooms. A balcony with storage room enjoys exceptional panoramic views.
- Attic (approx. 50 m²): tastefully converted, featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchenette, accessible via the internal staircase.
Uses and potential
The Villa Madonna degli Angeli stands out for its refined character and attention to detail. It is ideal as a residence for large families or multiple households, but it is equally suited for hospitality purposes – B&B, agriturismo, seminar house, or guesthouse. A place where one can live in harmony with nature without sacrificing modern comfort.
