Caramanico Terme, Pescara (province)

For sale: a characteristic house, constructed in local Majella stone (currently rendered) for renovation in the centre of the fascinating medieval town of Caramanico Terme, noted as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. Situated in one of the ancient stone streets of the town, amongst traditional houses and a few steps from the piazza of the beautiful San Nicola church (in which there is ample parking), we offer a house that is in need of renovation, albeit with a roof in perfect condition (redone 10 years ago). The house is set out over three levels via an impressive stone arched doorway with a solid wooden door. A few steps up into this house you will find a historic atmosphere, where it seems time stands still: a large fireplace, an area for cooking with carbon, original flooring and vaulted brick ceilings. There are two bedrooms and a WC. Going up some more stairs you will find a further three bedrooms. On the ground floor there are two cellars/cantine with their own entrance. This property is ideal for creating a home or B&B with historic charm and modern convenience. The house is in a great position; you can reach the centre of the town in a few steps where you can find supermarkets, bars, cafes, great restaurants, pizzerias, a bank, post office, pharmacy and artisanal shops where you can buy local produce direct from suppliers such as cheese, bread and meat. The town also has a pool, an adventure park with a well maintained garden and bar and a visitor centre for the national park. Caramanico Terme is within easy reach of Pescara, a vibrant seaside city with an international airport which is reachable by car of bus. Within a couple of hours you can reach Rome’s Ciampino and Fiumicino airports. You can access ski slopes in 20 minutes or the coast of the Adriatic sea within 40 minutes.
