A detached stone townhouse with garden for sale in the spectacular medieval village of Pennapiedimonte, called the balcony of Abruzzo for its privileged position in an area of extraordinary beauty.

In the village there is a bar, bakery, grocery store, excellent restaurants, butcher's shop and pharmacy as well as a B&B, and there are countless departure points for excursions into the wild and unspoilt nature. Among the narrow streets of the Borgo, where time seems to have stopped, one encounters small shops, oil mills carved out of the rock, houses adorned with the splendid sculptures of the local master stone masons, and it is easy to understand what a slow and peaceful pace life has. A life still tied to the old traditions of both culture and enogastronomy. At the top of the village, inside the Maiella National Park, is the Balzolo belvedere, where it is possible to admire the panorama as far as the Adriatic Sea, from Vasto to Ortona. Only 13 minutes from the centre of Guardiagrele where you can find all essential services including a hospital, 20 minutes from Casoli, another fantastic medieval village, 45 minutes from the Adriatic Sea, 50 minutes from Pescara international airport and about 3 hours from both Rome and Naples
