Not far from the city of Chieti, which is one of the most important historical cities of Abruzzo, is this semi-detached house on 2 levels. The property forms part of an old and characteristic building.
The house was restored in 1999 with attention to retaining the original style. Accommodation comprises:
Ground floor - Large courtyard, entrance, dining room with fireplace, living room, three bedrooms and bathroom.
First floor - living room with kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, closet, porch and a 90 square metres terrace where it is possible to appreciate the view towards the surrounding rolling hills up to the Majella mountain.
The property also includes a studio, 7.000 square metres of land, planted with woods and walnut trees. There is also a tennis court, terrace and garden.
The house, kept in perfect condition, will be sold with the furniture included. Even though it is semi-detached, the property is totally independent.
CHIETI - CHIETI PROVINCE
Chieti is both a city and capital of one of Abruzzos’ four provinces. It even has the same name. The town boasts spectacular surroundings and lies on a panoramic hill set between the Majella mountains and the Adriatic. It is at a height of 330 metres above sea level and the profile of the San Giustino Cathedral, with its high bell tower, is recognisable from many kilometres away.
Chieti is one of Italy’s most ancient cities, dating to the 4th millennium BC. It then developed as a Roman City and later as an important medieval centre with Roman and medieval ruins side by side. The city is now divided into the upper, historic town (Chieti Alta) and the rapidly developing industrial and commercial area, in the valley below, known as Chieti Scalo.
The population of 50,646 has access to all facilities including a university and hospital. There are also many schools, banks, shops and restaurants to choose from. Transport links to Pescara are good (only 15 minutes by car) and the train line from Rome to Pescara also stops in Chieti Scalo. There are frequent buses from the station to Chieti Alta.
The old town is compact and easily seen on foot. It is dotted with churches, museums, attractive civic architecture and enchanting piazzas. So much to admire.
Not to be missed is an impressive event, which is held each Good Friday, and is considered Italy’s oldest religious procession. It marks the start of Holy Week.
