Kate & Paul were superb hosts from the beginning of the booking process through checkout. I cannot imagine anything could top our experience! Kate- thank you for EVERYTHING!
We loved our time here, Kate and Paul were incredibly helpful and having stayed with 4 children aged 2 and under they were very well catered for, the box of toys was a real bonus! Will be back again for sure!
We enjoyed our stay at Futtanoce. Kate and Paul were so attentive and helpful. The home and the view are spectacular. We were close enough to everything we wanted to see. We will be back some day!

Its a wonderful place, no turists (only Italian turists)

This house is the perfect place for a family vacation. The place is lovely and the views over the surroundings and mountains are amazing.I rented the house for me, my husband and our three grown-up children and their families, in total ten people.There is enough space both inside the house and outside the house. The pool area and the outdoor kitchen are fantastic. There are plenty of water toys for children. There is also a Boule court, a large outdoor chess set, as well as table tennis nets, paddles, and balls.The bedrooms are large with air conditioning and there are plenty of toilets and bathrooms. There are several spaces even indoors to socialize in. On the upper floor, there is a large kitchen with a big dining table. Outside the kitchen, there is a large terrace with chairs and tables, with a view over the pool area and the mountains.The house is clean and cozy with a lovely garden. It is located near the sea, takes less than 10 minutes, by car, to Le Morge, a fantastic sandy beach.Everything you need is here. Kate and Paul are perfect hosts. This is a house you want to come back to.
Lovely villa & pool, a perfect family get-together
We have just had a wonderful 2-week stay in this villa. Fabulous pool suitable for all ages. The villa is really well-equipped and the rooms are comfy and the air-conditioning a blessing! The BBQ eating area is particularly nice. Kate and Paul were really helpful in recommending places to eat and in organising family meals out for us. Great place to stay with a large family group. It's a good couple of hours drive to the mountains, so we didn't get there as often as we'd hoped, but can't fault the villa or the hosts.
Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! Kate was the perfect host - so friendly and helpful - such a delight! She helped us with everything we needed from groceries, directions, suggestions for activities, and arranging a local chef to prepare dinner. The Villa itself was beautiful inside and out - spacious, very clean, well furnished and comfortable. No complaints except that we couldn't stay longer. Thank you Kate and Paul for a wonderful visit to your beautiful Villa! We hope to come again.
Fruttanace Villa was absolutely wonderful. It was great to come back from a day of exploration to lounge in the pool. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and very close to the beach. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. They were so helpful but also non-intrusive. Kate arranged for us all to have massages at the villa and even decorated with balloons and banner on my birthday. They absolutely went above and beyond! Will definitely be back.
We spent a fantastic week in Fruttanoce Villas, Kate and Paul have been wondefull guests, very helpfull, reactive and preventive to all our requests.
The house is really amazing, we were 12 persons with plenty of room, it has been designed and build with a high sense of details and focus on functionality.
The terrace is gorgious to see the sunset, the pool is big enough for adults and teen agers .. and the rooms are so well equiped.
Probably the best place we've stayed at in Europe (France, Spain, Italy) ... Do not hesitate one second to book for your next vacations !!!
Thanks again to Kate and Paul
We all had a wonderful week at Villa Fruttnoce, in the beautiful Abruzzo region. Kate and Paul were absolutely wonderful hosts . What they have built is an outstanding beautiful home in Torino di Sangro, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. All of your needs were taken care of, from booking reservations at restaurants, recommendations for day trips to having additional uk plug in bedrooms. We were a family of 9 adults of 3 generations from 81 to 23. We all had a wonderful week relaxing by the pool , playing chess and boules , there was something for everyone . We especially loved having Max and Molly (private chef) coming to the villa to cook a glorious 4 course meal , eating outside on the terrace with spectacular views of the mountains. They went the extra mile with decorations and gift for my daughterâs birthday. We definitely will return.
If you read all the positive reviews the expectations are high too.
But our week in Fruttanoce exceeded all our expectations!
We were there as a group of 3 couples with 4 children
On arrival we were warmly welcomed and shown around by the owner. She made us feel right at home. The villa also had everything to feel at home, it was nicely decorated and fully equipped . The outdoor kitchen was great, the pool was clean and was also cleaned during our stay. The garden was also beautifully maintained and equipped with several outdoor activities.
Another great advantage is the location of the villa. Close to the sea where you have the choice of sandy beaches, stone beaches, busy or quiet beaches. You can also go to the mountains, an hour's drive you are at 2000m altitude.
Let me also not forget to say that we ate very tasty and not expensive everywhere in the vicinity of the villa (max 15min drive with car)
Kate, Paul, thanks from all of us, we had a great holiday!
Amazing family holiday - incredible villa, perfect location with fantastic hosts
We have just returned from a fantastic week at Fruttanoce villa. We were a large group consisting of four families (8 adults and 6 children) all staying at the villa. The villa was perfect for us as it was very spacious, with a large outside pool and separate covered outdoor barbeque/eating area. The villa was of a high quality and catered for all our different needs.
The hosts, Kate and Paul, who lived next the villa, were excellent, both in the lead up to our arrival and whilst we were there. They were on hand whenever we needed them for guidance and recommendations for points of interest and/or restaurants. They were particularly great in kindly arranging to book things for us in advance of our arrival, including the Agriturismo in Lanciano (which we highly recommend) and sorting out a memorable trip to one of the local Traboccos for a Ruby Wedding Anniversary in our party.
In summary, we could not fault the villa or the experience, ensuring it was a holiday that we would never forget.
Many thanks
Unfortunately, our time at Villa Fruttanoce passed far too quickly! We felt very comfortable with Kate and Paul! We are 3 families consisting of 6 adults and 6 children between the ages of 10 and 17 who have been traveling together for 10 years. Kate was definitely the best host so far! Regardless of the request or problem - feedback and advice from Kate came within minutes. Kate did reservations for tables for us in restaurants right by the sea (best pizza ever in "Da Rocco"!), both Kate and Paul took us to the final of the EM right on the beach - a wonderful experience (especially since Italy won!). We can't say thank you enough for it; all these experiences made our vacation very lively! The villa is beautifully located in the middle of the vineyards. Kate has a vegetable garden and we were allowed to harvest the tastiest tomatoes ever, as well as apricots fresh from the tree. Everything is very neat and clean, especially to mention is the ingenious outdoor kitchen right by the pool - and of course the grill. Actually we could go there again tomorrow! Book!
Wir waren drei Familien und mehr als zufrieden mit der Unterkunft und den groĂartigen Gastgebern. Nach der langen Anreise erwarteten uns bereits gekĂŒhltes Bier und eine Flasche WeiĂwein im KĂŒhlschrank â eine wunderbare Geste! Sogar angeboten wurde, im Vorfeld das Nötigste fĂŒr uns einzukaufen.Die Gastgeber waren jederzeit erreichbar, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, dabei aber nie aufdringlich. Noch bevor wir morgens aufgewacht sind, waren die MĂŒlltonnen geleert und der Pool gereinigt â ein Service, den man selten erlebt.Wir wĂŒrden diese Unterkunft jedem weiterempfehlen und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Vielen Dank fĂŒr alles!
War ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt Torino di Sangro Fruttanoce
Es war ein echt toller Urlaub. Die Unterkunft ist wirklich klasse, rĂ€umlich groĂzĂŒgig, sehr gut ausgestattet, sehr gepflegt und sauber. Der Pool ist ein Highlight und auch sonst hat die Unterkunft einige Extras.
Die Vermieter sind super nett und dezent, wenn du hilfreiche Informationen benötigst bist du bei Kate und Paul Jennings an der richtigen Adresse. Es gibt viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten und zum Meer sind es mit dem Auto wirklich nur 5 Minuten. Ich wĂŒrde jeder Zeit dort wieder buchen ist einfach das Geld wert.
Einen kleinen Wermutstropfen gibt es, gegenĂŒber des Areals ist ein Haus wo mehrere Hunde auf dem GelĂ€nde leben. Da kam es auch schon öfters vor, dass die Hunde sehr intensiv in der Nacht gebellt haben. Wir sind sehr tierlieb, wenn du allerdings einen leichten Schlaf hast, könnte das zum Problem werden.
Bellissima villa con piscina e un grande barbecue a gas
Siamo stati accolti calorosamente da Kate. Siamo rimasti 2 settimane, nove persone. Tutte le stanze erano giĂ pronte. La villa Ăš molto grande e ben arredata. La piscina Ăš fantastica e Kate la pulisce ogni mattina. Specialmente la seconda settimana faceva molto caldo ed eravamo spesso in piscina. Chi non voleva venire al mare poteva restare benissimo tutto il giorno a casa su una sdraia e godersi la piscina e la bellissima vista. Bisogna avere una macchina. Chi vuole potrebbe anche prendere un taxi, specialmente se la sera si vuole bere un bicchiere di vino locale a cena. Per un ristorante vicino sono almeno 15 minuti in macchina.
Per colazione ci mettevamo al grande tavolo sulla terrazza e ci svegliavamo lentamente. Per cena uscivamo per andare a mangiare in un ristorante vicino o facevamo una grillata. Abbiamo visitato Vasto, Ortona e San Giovanni in Venere. Vale la pena !
La nostra famiglia Ăš originaria della regione e sono anche venuti a visitarci dei parenti, câĂš abbastanza posto. Siamo stati molto bene, grazie a Kate e Paul.
Wir waren mit 3 Familien mit 6 Erwachsenen und 4 Kindern Anfang Oktober 2021 in der Villa. Es war herrlich. Obwohl wir etwas Pech mit dem Wetter hatten, war es ein sehr schöner Urlaub. Jeder hatte ausreichend Platz fĂŒr sich. Die Vermieter Kate und Paul sind sehr nett. Ihr Haus ist direkt nebenan, aber sie sind super dezent und nett.
Die Barbecue KĂŒche drauĂen mit dem groĂen Gasgrill und dem Poolbereich ist ein Traum. Im Schuppen haben wir so viele tolle Wasserspielzeuge gefunden. Man hat an alles gedacht. Wir haben auch die Boulebahn mit den Kindern gerne benutzt.
Die Natur um das Haus ist sehr schön. Rund herum sind WeingĂŒter. Wir durften die Feigen pflĂŒcken und die waren super lecker.
Der schöne breite Sandstrand ist nur mit dem Auto erreichbar. Der Kiesstrand ist dichter, ca. 45 Minuten fuĂlĂ€ufig zu erreichen. Der ist aber nicht so schön wie der Sandstrand.
Wir hatten trotz Unwetters einen sehr schönen Urlaub. Wir kommen nochmals sehr gerne wieder.
Perfekte Unterkunft fĂŒr groĂe Gruppen und Familien
Es handelt sich um ein groĂes, sehr gepflegtes Landgut mit viel Platz fĂŒr bis zu 12 Personen. Der Pool ist sehr groĂ und wurde jeden Morgen gereinigt. An dem ĂŒberdachten AuĂensitz findet sich ein groĂer Gasgrill an dem man problemlos fĂŒr groĂe Gruppen grillen kann. Die Besitzer wohnen in einem extra GebĂ€ude auf dem GrundstĂŒck und sind extrem hilfsbereit aber gleichzeitig auch sehr diskret und unaufdringlich. Der nĂ€chste Supermarkt so wie der nĂ€chstgelegene Strand (Kies) sind mit dem Auto 5 Minuten entfernt.
We wanted an adventure while we were still young and fit enough to enjoy it, therefore we bought an Italian villa with potential and then had 5 fun packed, hard working, challenge breaking years turning it into the luxurious villa we have today and we are still talking to each other, so decided it would be fun to share with others.
We chose this location because it seems to be in the centre of everything but with open views to the mountain and the all year green of the olive trees, it also gives you the impression that you are getting off life's treadmill for a while but is easy enough to get back on when you need/want/have to.
I think what we love about Abruzzo and hopefully you will to, is the untouched and uninfluenced feel Abruzzo has about itself. What you see is what you get. It is a working region not gearing itself around tourism or other outside influences but has a natural beauty and elegance all of its own, including the friendly and welcoming locals.
