In the green hills of Abruzzo, a stone's throw from the sea ...


The house of the Red Lion is 1 km from the town of Sant'Apollinare Chieti (1000 inhabitants).
Here are all the essential shops.
The house can be reached along the provincial road to Lanciano and the last 300 m of gravel road.
The house, the pool and the appurtenances, are for the exclusive use of those who are guests at that time; surrounded by vineyards it is situated in a dominant position on a hill, 1. 5 hectares of vineyard attached to the house and owned, ensure the necessary privacy.
Even if the rustic and the surrounding houses may seem far from each other, the layout means that those who live in the house at that time, can find the place cozy and peaceful.
Only one thing I remember to my potential customers, mine is a real country house, a rustic, with the limits, intended as peculiarities but also the advantages offered by these structures.
The pool is 7 meters long and 3 meters wide and the depth varies from a maximum of 130 cm to a minimum of 40 cm.
In the bathroom type towels are provided (one large and one small for each guest present), there are no bathrobes and hair dryers because they are considered strictly personal accessories.
At 4.5 km there is San Vito marina and above San Vito village (capital), most equipped places.
At 10 km and equidistant there are the towns of Ortona at sea and Lanciano.

Magical
Giovanni's father's home is situated on a hill overlooking miles of vineyards. Sitting at the large round tiled table under a canopy gazing at the landscape with your breakfast, wine, whatever, is positively idyllic. Despite being only 15 minutes from the Adriatic and the many seaside restaurants, and a short drive to welcoming hill towns and vineyards, all you hear are birds and the distant hum of tractors and cars. The core of the house is very old, but the kitchen has modern appliances and is well equipped. The living/dining room is large and comfortable (and, besides, you want to spend all your time outside). The staircase to the bedrooms is a small spiral. The two bedrooms are large, nicely furnished with large, screened windows with expansive views. The pool and outdoor equipment are perfect . Giovanni could not be a better host. We strongly recommend this property.

Beautiful cottage in the vineyards!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house with our 2 dogs. So much wildlife! Most mornings we saw foxes, deer and wild boar from the garden, looking down into the valley. We enjoyed days at some of the local beaches and also days out in the mountains. Lovely walk up Majella, which had a very dog friendly restaurant. The views up there are breathtaking. Giovanni was extremely helpful and always on hand if needed. Would definitely like to visit again.

Erholsame Alleinlage
Der Aufenthalt im Casa del Leone Rosso war sehr schön. Das Haus befindet sich in Alleinlage umgeben von Weinbergen. Giovanni war ein freundlicher Gastgeber, der uns mit eigenem Wein und Olivenöl die Ankunft versüßt hat. Auch sonst hat es an nichts gefehlt. Täglich wurde der Pool und der Garten durch den Gastgeber gepflegt. Das Haus ist liebevoll gestaltet. Zu beachten ist, dass es sich um ein Landhaus handelt, sodass mit Moskitos, Ameisen etc. zu rechnen ist. Von uns volle 5 Sterne und wir werden dir Unterkunft sicher wieder buchen. Vielen Dank für alles.

Besonders gut: Lage, Vermieter sehr nett - Nicht ganz so gut: Moskitos im September (da kann der Vermieter aber nichts für), Fehlende Haken (wie in so vielen FeWos), Infomappe könnte besser sein - Unbedingt machen: Trabocco-Abendessen, Fahrradtour am Meer

Entspannter Urlaub in traumhafter Lage
Das Haus von Giovanni ist zwar schon älter, aber es ist mit viel Liebe restauriert. In der Küche ist ein Induktionsherd, Kaffeemaschine , Grundausstattung an Gewürzen. In den zwei Schlafräumen im ersten Stock ist eine Klimaanlage. Die Wendeltreppe zum 1. Stock ist allerdings für Behinderte nicht geeignet. Der Garten mit Pool und Terrasse ist ein Traum mit einer herrlichen Aussicht auf die umliegenden Weinberge. Man genießt absolute Privatsphäre, ein Auto ist aber nötig aufgrund der Alleinlage. Giovanni ist ein sehr,sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Zur Begrüßung gab es auch noch zwei Flaschen Wein. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden das Haus jederzeit wieder buchen.

Soggiorno con piscina in mezzo ai vigneti con vista meravigliosa
Casa molto ben ristrutturata, posizione tranquillissima con una bellissima visuale sulla valle. Cenare su quel tavolo con vista sul tramonto, esperienza davvero unica. Piscina perfetta per rinfrescarsi e per godersi il panorama. Per chi come noi gradisce un po’ di jogging al mattino, anello ideale in mezzo ai vigneti senza vedere un’auto. Esperienza in generale da ripetere. Grazie Giovanni, poi, per la tua cortesia e disponibilità. Michael

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus mit tollem Blick
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und uns gut erholt. Das gut ausgestattete und saubere Ferienhaus liegt sehr ruhig außerhalb mitten in den Weinbergen und Olivenhainen. Alles wird vom sehr netten Inhaber Giovanni in Schuss gehalten und wir konnten seinen Wein und Olivenöl genießen. Der Pool ist toll und die Aussicht phänomenal. Zum Meer und den Stränden sind es nur wenige Kilometer und in der näheren Umgebung gibt es gute Restaurants.

Wir können das Objekt nur empfehlen, wer es ruhig und abseits vom täglichen Trubel sucht, der ist hier richtig. Umgeben von Weinbergen und Oliven kann man sich erholen. Das Haus hat alles was man braucht und der Vermieter ist stets erreichbar, wenn man Fragen hat.

Wonderful getaway - most beautiful view!
Spent 6 wonderful and relaxing days in Giovannis house in the hills, where we enjoyed the pool, the beach, the food and the scenic views. Perfect location for our little family (2 kids: 4 & 7 years old). Giovanni was a great host and made sure to make us feel welcome and at home right away! I hope we can come back another time and give my warmest recommendations.

Herrliches, ruhiges Haus
Wer es ruhig und weg vom Trubel mag ist hier richtig. Wunderschönes, gepflegtes Haus und Garten mit Blick in die Weinberge und die Abruzzen. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet und Giovanni ist sofort zur Stelle wenn etwas fehlt oder es ein Problem gibt. Der Pool macht es perfekt, auch mit Kindern. Im kleinen Nachbardorf gibt es eine gute Osteria. Wir waren zum zweiten Mal da und kommen gerne wieder - es gibt noch viel zu entdecken in den Abruzzen…

splendida casa rurale circondata dai vigneti
Abbiamo trascorso una bellissima vacanza nella dimora di Giovanni che ci accolto con gentilezza ed è sempre stato disponibile a qualsiasi necessità. La casa è circondata dai vigneti e perfetta per Chi desidera una location isolata e tranquilla. L'interno è curato e confortevole ( la compagnia di qualche insetto che di tanto in tanto si intrufola all'interno fa parte della ruralità) ma sicuramente il punto di forza è la parte esterna e in particolare la piscina Dov'è la nostra bimba di 4 anni ha sguazzato per tutto il tempo. Peccato per i due ristoranti vicini all'alloggio che abbiamo sempre trovato chiuso.

Bellissima vacanza!
Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti da questa vacanza: la casa, molto particolare e molto curata nei dettagli, è inserita in un contesto naturale molto rilassante, in collina ma a due passi dal mare e con la Majella a pochi chilometri. Colazione, pranzo e cena con vista sulla vallata sono veramente rigeneranti. Il proprietario è molto gentile, amichevole e sempre disponibile. La piscina privata con idromassaggio è la ciliegina sulla torta!!! Consigliamo vivamente di provare!!!

ruhige Lage und tolle Aussicht
Das Haus entspricht vollkommen dem was die Fotos zeigen, somit traumhaft. Auch die Lage entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Weg vom Tumult, ruhe für sich. Die Einkaufmöglichkeiten (von kleinen Märkten bis zum grossen Einkaufszentren) sind schneller zu erreichen als wir Gedacht haben. Der Pool wurde relegmässig gereinigt und das Meer erreicht man in wenigen Fahrminuten. Perfekt für ein Badeurlaub und doch ist man im Grünen mit tollen Aussichten. Auch der Vermieter war sehr diskret und doch konnte man ihn für Fragen immer kontaktieren und in kürze bekam man eine Antwort. Einfach ein toller, relaxter Urlaub mit Kind und Hund. Vielen Dank an Giovanni für die tolle Woche traduttore di testi: si spera comprensibile ;-) La casa corrisponde perfettamente a ciò che le foto mostrano, quindi da sogno. Anche la location ha soddisfatto le nostre aspettative. Lontano dai disordini, riposati da solo. Le opportunità di shopping (dai piccoli mercati ai grandi centri commerciali) sono più veloci da raggiungere di quanto pensassimo. La piscina è stata pulita regolarmente e il mare è raggiungibile in pochi minuti di auto. Perfetto per una vacanza al mare eppure siete nel verde con una splendida vista. Anche il padrone di casa è stato molto discreto eppure si poteva sempre contattarlo per domande e presto si è avuta una risposta. Semplicemente una fantastica vacanza rilassante con bambini e cani. Grazie mille a Giovanni per una settimana fantastica
