We spent a very enjoyable week in the Villa Aquaviva in early September. The villa was clean and bright, well equipped and thoughtfully stocked with coffee, a bottle of wine etc. Best of all, it had a fantastic view. Hosts David and Pauline were very friendly and always on hand (but never intrusive), and were endlessly helpful with directions and local info. There were plenty of interesting towns and sights nearby to explore and we enjoyed the accessibility of the Majella National Park with its fantastic mountain views. In all honesty though it took a lot to tear us away from the peace of the pool overloooking the hillside, especially in the brilliantly sunny weather. Thanks for such a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

A real find. Fantastic location, amazing views, quiet and peaceful. Our villa was very well-equipped and spotless. Liked the bottle of wine 'on the house' and tea, cofee, sugar, etc provided as standard. Pool is lovely with plenty of room for sunbeds and umbrellas. Owners David and Pauline gave us excellent directions from Pescara Airport and were very helpful suggesting places to eat (and making bookings for us), sightseeing etc. We appreciated the fact they were there if needed, but non-intrusive The surrounding area is unspoilt and not touristy.People are very friendly. Basically we just had a super relaxing week in this perfect location and would happily recommend it to anyone.

We spent part of our honeymoon at Villasfor2 and were blown away by the views. Admiring the sweeping scenery of tiny villages twinkling under the moonlight over a bottle of local vino and waking to postcard views of the mountains is a wonderful way to watch the world go by. We took a picnic to Gessopalena - highly recommended - and really enjoyed to whole adventure of being 'off the beaten path'. Be sure to have dinner at La Cena - fantastic food. David & Pauline are very warm and give you lots of great info on the area and how to get around. The lofts are perfect for two people, modern but with rustic charm. And the olive oil in the villa is from the trees on the property! Thanks so much for the unforgettable experience.

The Villa was simply furnished and immaculate with wonderful views over the beautiful pool set amidst the olive groves.The Adriatic coast was about 1/2 hours drive, and the surrounding mountains (snow capped at the time of our visit in mid May) provided some inspiring drives, and a wealth of beautiful flowers including orchids,gentians etc. Mass tourism has passed the area by, and the many little hill towns and villages were quiet and charming. The owners were unfailingly helpful in providing any local information required.

Wij zijn de eerste Nederlanders geweest, die deze villa hebben bezocht. En...het was geweldig! David en Pauline zorgen voor alles: keurig meubilair, prima bedden, een prachtig terras en een uitstekend onderhouden zwembad. Er is veel informatie beschikbaar over eetgelegenheden, stadjes en andere bezienswaardigheden. Wij kunnen met een gerust hart deze heerlijke plek aanbevelen. Vanuit Eindhoven vlieg je met Ryanair naar Pescara en voor je het weet ben je er.

If you are looking for peace and tranquility, this is the place to go! We are just home from a totally relaxing holiday which was much needed. David and Pauline are perfect hosts who will go above and beyond their duty to help you have an amazing holiday. David's directions to and from airports (Rome, in our case) and local towns and restaurants are invaluable. Their recommendations were superb and you will be surprised how cheap the local restaurants are. It is untouched by tourism and everyone is extremely friendly (a special mention to Paolo who has a beautiful restaurant!). All your needs are catered for and it is very difficult to tear yourself away from the patio, the views are spectacular! Although a car is essential, it really is not difficult to access local shops, mountains and beaches. A fantastic lifestyle, can't wait to return! Wish we were there!!!

Just arrived back in the UK from the most relaxing holiday ever. The views from the pool and your very own terrace are absolutely superb - the photos don't lie. The weather was fantastic, with sunny blue skies every day. Even though the other two villas were full for part of the time of our holiday, you never felt overcrowded around the pool as there plenty of space for the sun lounges, and most days because everyone did their own thing there was maybe only few hours when all six of us was around the pool. The owners David and Pauline live in the next property, which is extremely haelpful for directions and suggestions for the days activities. Their knowledge of the area is second to none, with every restaurant they suggested being superb and extremely welcoming. Took a trip up to the mountains, about 50 minute drive along a road with the most superb views. When we got up there we were treated to alpine countryside and gorgeous views. A truly fantastic day. We also took a day trip to Rome, which David and Pauline organised including booking the coach and informing of us where to get on the bus and what we would expect. They took all the stresses away not just from this trip but from the whole holiday. My girlfriend and I would suggest this holiday to anyone who wants to relax, explore, and enjoy the true Italian culture!

Four days at villasfor2 was a bit like having a sip of a very fine wine - it left us instantly wanting more. Waking up to the breath taking views was the best start to every day. It was simply idyllic. We have never stayed anywhere more relaxing - it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! The villas were impeccably clean and finished to a very high standard. Dave and Pauline had clearly put a lot of thought into the little extras, so we had no need to leave the villa for the first 24hours! Am quite proud that we broke the record for being the fastest openers of the fine Pecorino wine that they presented with :) The pool and sunshine were just delicious and for the first time in our lives, we didn't think or worry about work. Dave and Pauline were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, from recommending and booking restaurants (now got to figure out how to lose the pizza weight I gained - but well worth it!) to finding out where we could watch our beloved football team on the television! I have already recommended the experience to several friends - and we only got back last night! Without a doubt, we envisage ourselves making it our regular holiday destination.

The listing description was clear and accurate, if anything slightly under-stated. The impression on arrival, in addition to the impact of the location, was of a well-appointed and tidy facility. A particular feature of the holiday was the quality of the welcome from David and Pauline: Friendly but not over-bearing, helpful and eager that we should enjoy the full experience. They quickly assess what each couple want and need from their holiday. For us it was relaxation by the pool, local small restaurants, exploration of the National Park, visits to historic villages, churches and castles. A particular feature for us was to be included in local events and enjoy local hospitality. We would certainly recommend Villasfor2 to our friends, and hope to return.
