Beautiful days in great nature - addictive factor

We spent two and a half weeks with Ester and Friedhelm and enjoyed every hour: cooling off in the pool with a view of the surrounding hills and towns in the morning; driving to the beach in Pineto in the afternoon - Italian dolce vita; visiting the Gothic frescoes by Andrea Dilitio in Atri in the afternoon; eating fish in the evening at Lido Itaca and then winding our way back at sunset through an indescribable nature. The property, our vacation rental, the many views, insights, and places of tranquility quickly became our temporary home.

Small oasis far from mass tourism!

Recovering, reflecting on the essentials, and enjoying nature can be done with Ester and Friedhelm to 150 percent. We felt very comfortable and above all welcome.

We stayed in the holiday cottage "la stalla" and felt at home from the beginning. Everything was very clean and the inventory left nothing to be desired. We even had our own small garden area. There is also a washing machine, so it is not necessary to pack many clothes.

The heart of the property is definitely the saltwater pool, the many olive trees, and the vegetable garden. We visited the latter almost daily and provided ourselves with the most delicious tomatoes in the world. At the pool, we were able to relax, let our gaze wander into the distance, and pamper our skin with warming rays of sunshine.

Friedhelm provided us with recommendations for excursions every day, all of which were worth a trip. He could also always perfectly describe the routes to the destinations. Especially the mountain landscapes here are incredibly impressive. Completely different from the Bavarian Alps - differently beautiful!

But our personal highlight were definitely the animals on the property. Bomba (dog) always looked after us and occasionally stopped by on our terrace. But also not every day, so one could have found it bothersome. We had great joy with the kittens, which we grew very fond of. We would have loved to pack them all up and take them with us.

Anyone who loves nature and appreciates it is in good hands at Landhaus Fonte Pecorale. Ester & Friedhelm have given us an unforgettable vacation and getting to know them has enriched us.

Thank you for beautiful days! We were able to recharge the empty batteries!

A secret tip

perfect relaxation is guaranteed

We had a fantastic time at the Country House Fonte Pecorale / La Stalla as a family with 2 children (13 and 16 years old). We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility, the views, the fantastic pool, often all to ourselves, the delicious tomatoes, and the pleasant hospitality. Very friendly landlords, everything was clean and sufficient. Questions were always answered promptly, and we got ideas for excursions. Pacelmo's directions always worked, better than our GPS. The location is optimal between the mountains and the sea, and you can take excursions to both. However, because Fonte Pecorale was so beautiful, we stayed there most days and just hung out. After all, it was vacation! GREAT! We will definitely come back!

Attentive welcome and comfortable rental

Welcoming reception and comfortable accommodation.
Very good overall impression: very friendly reception, equipment in very good condition, exceptional pool with a magnificent view. Total tranquility. The only slight flaw is the relative isolation of the accommodation, with slightly complicated roads and fairly long travel times, but the accommodation itself is truly perfect!

A hidden gem!

We have been coming here for 16 years and every time it is wonderful again. Friedhelm and Ester are excellent hosts and always ready with good tips (restaurants, excursions). The three apartments are tastefully furnished and offer everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The large garden is adorned with olive trees, roses, and lavender. Guests are welcome to help themselves in the fruit and vegetable garden. The area is a great holiday destination, as it is not as touristy as the more northern Adriatic. An authentic stretch of land in Italy. The hilly landscape never ceases to amaze us every year. One can equally enjoy the beach and the mountains here. Since 2018, guests at the Fonte Pecorale estate have had access to a huge pool. From there, one can let their gaze wander into the vast hilly landscape. Once you've been there, you'll keep coming back.

Gem in the Abruzzo region.

A holiday at Fonte Pecorale combines beach, mountains, relaxation, and a unique panorama of the beautiful landscape of Abruzzo. For over 10 years now, we have been going to this great place and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere - at first just the two of us, now with our two children. We have already stayed in all three apartments. Each one is individually and tastefully decorated by the charming hosts Friedhelm and Ester, so you feel at home immediately. Whether enjoying morning coffee with a view of the small villages around or sipping an aperitif in the blooming, well-kept garden. In addition, the 12m long quasi infinity pool with wonderful views invites you to swim and splash around. If you prefer the sea, the fine gently sloping sandy beach in Pineto offers ideal bathing pleasure for the whole family. However, the Fonte Pecorale, a lovingly restored 19th-century estate, is also the perfect starting point for a trip to the mountains of the surrounding national parks. Both the Majella mountain range in the south and the Gran Sasso in the north reveal an impressive nature with panoramic peaks. Remote paths and medieval villages invite exploration and lingering. With Friedhelm and Ester's insider tips, we always discover new hiking routes and restaurants that are not found in any travel guide. We almost don't want to reveal this secret tip, as we enjoy our holidays at Fonte Pecorale so much.

fantastic holiday as always!

We have been coming to this great place for many years, and the vacation is always fantastic. The owners are very nice and caring. Now, a huge pool has been built from which you can see the mountains and the sea in good weather. I can only recommend this place. All three apartments are very nice. There is plenty of space. A great and friendly dog is a joy for animal lovers. Overall, definitely worth a trip. Sent from my iPad.

Until next year, Fonte Pecorale!

When looking through the reviews of Fonte Pecorale, two things catch the eye - guests keep coming back and they appreciate and enjoy the same special features of this particular spot in the Abruzzo region, Fonte Pecorale. It's the same for us. Following a recommendation from my brother, we first vacationed with Ester and Friedhelm 10 years ago, without children, not yet married. We have been returning almost every year since then, the last two weeks again, now with little children who want to learn how to swim here and speak their first sentences in Italian. It is probably the special combination of warmth and local knowledge of the hosts, the remoteness and yet proximity of Fonte Pecorale to charming small towns, the combination of breathtaking mountain scenery and beautiful beach. After 10 years, there is still something new to discover, even though we keep coming back just to enjoy what we have already experienced. Until next year, Fonte Pecorale!

great holiday home!ctrd. muraglie 24, Montefino, 64030, Abruzzen, Italien Aufenthalt 23. Jul. 2017

Very nice, clean and well equiped holidayhome with a nice roofed terrace. Beautiful surroundings and quiet location in between the mountains and sea. The owners are very friendly and give great advice on what places to visit. You can pick vegatables (great tasting tomatoes!) from the garden and tap your own wine. They also sell olive oil. Towels and sheets are provided and changed weekly. Our kids (11 and 9) loved playing with the dog and cats. We had a great holiday at La Stalla!Kommentar hinzufügen

Following Goethe: The guests that I called, ......

We are just like so many others here: Anyone who has experienced Fonte Pecorale, the Abruzzo region, and especially Ester and Friedhelm, will return again and again. Fonte Pecorale is an ideal place to truly relax in an unusual, sometimes bizarre landscape, the Abruzzo region offers so much (art, culture, mountains, ancient sites, sea, cuisine - there is guaranteed something for everyone) and Ester and Friedhelm with their kindness are the "icing on the cake" on top. However, staying at Fonte Pecorale has a significant disadvantage: one more or less misses the opportunity to get to know other corners of "Bella Italia" (except for excursions to Rome, Naples, or Apulia already undertaken with Pacelmo) because one is always drawn back there. P. S. In one of the many beautiful hours, when I was daydreaming in the well-kept garden of Fonte Pecorale, the idea came to me to Italianize "Friedhelm" (I believe he likes the result). M. and H.

Ein Geheimtipp

We have been vacationing in Fonte Pecorale for 15 years and are delighted every year anew. The hosts Ester and Friedhelm are very helpful and have wonderful tips for excursions in the area, to the mountains, to the sea, or for restaurants. The holiday apartments in Fonte Pecorale are for people who want to enjoy a vacation in Italy away from the usual hustle and bustle. The apartments are all very tastefully decorated, and the garden is wonderful. Even our children love the holiday at Ester and Friedhelm.

Fantastic Source :-)

In May, we were for the first time for a good 3 weeks at Friedhelm and Ester's Fonte Pecorale. A dream! The holiday apartment "Il Pozzo", a cozy refuge lovingly furnished with everything you need and much more. On the two private terraces and in the beautiful garden, you can relax perfectly, and wherever you let your gaze wander, you are offered a fantastic panorama of the surrounding landscape, the mountains, and even up to the sea. The entire property is carefully tended and maintained, everything is in excellent condition. Fonte Pecorale is a great starting point for mountain hikes as well as trips along the coast and to the beach. Friedhelm and Ester are wonderful and warm hosts, it couldn't be better. Not to forget la Bomba: she is the dog of dogs and just adorable to cuddle :-). This results in nice conversations here time and again or sometimes even a joint activity, if one feels like it. We are currently looking for the sixth rating star here... Deluxe holiday guaranteed!
