We had an absolutely amazing stay in Casa Trastulli. Everybody involved with running the Villa were fabulous, friendly, always there to help and Tony the owner came back to any questions I had straight away. We stayed as two families with 5 teenagers. They loved having the top floor to themselves. I loved the ensuites and the outside and the views were just breathtaking. The pool was used all the time and everything was thought through and catered for and the villa was comfy and in immaculate condition. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone and we will definitely return. The town was full of very friendly people and we made some lovely friends - a huge thank you for some very happy memories to Tony and his team xxxx

This house was amazing. It was spacious, clean and well-equipped with a fabulous pool, a lovely garden and near to amenities (but felt very private).The owner Tony and his local representative Antonio could not have been more helpful in making sure we had everything we needed and making suggestions about things to do or where to eat etc.I really couldn't fault it - we had a brilliant holiday there and there is so much to do in the local area, we will have to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay with our kids and friends. Tony was really helpful and gave us a lot of information for our stay. We can really recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful, but less familiar corner of Italy. The villa is perfectly clean, spacious, well appointed and cared for by the helpful Antonio who, as a lifelong village resident, is also a mine of local information. It's a converted old house, so has distinctive character but has been completely refurbished with a nice spacious modern kitchen/dining area - ideal for family meals.The location on the outskirts of Castle Frentano is perfect, just 20 minutes or so to the coast and some lovely beaches, coves, gelateria and fish restaurants and a similar distance to the mountains with extensive opportunities for trekking, mountain biking and so on. But if you prefer to relax and enjoy rural Italian life with great local wines and farm produce you would struggle to find a more authentic place. There is a brilliant Conad supermarket just 10 minutes away in Lanciano with everything from electrical goods to an unexpected sushi bar (!) but we shopped mostly in Castel Frentano itself, experiencing the delights of the grocery store, the baker on the main street (delicious pizza slices for a picnic) and Antonio the butcher's. And don't forget to try the local sweet cake delicacies - Bocconotto, fantastico! We only had a few days to explore, but there is so much to see in the local area - from picture perfect hilltop medieval towns to immaculate war graves, endless beaches and rugged mountains. This is Italy, unmistakable, timeless, beautiful, hospitable.
