Great gem of a house!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home that is located directly on the street as photographed below. The host was very responsive and left a complete book of instructions and helpful touristy ideas! We dined at the restaurant next door and it was phenomenal! The listing does not show the rooftop access which provides a beautiful unobstructed view of the mountains. The stair leading to the front door is about 20 steps so if you have heavy suitcases, be prepared! Otherwise, a terrific rental! Would love to stay here again sometime.

Fantastic place
My family and I had a fantastic stay at this beautifully decorated apartment in the heart of Città Sant'Angelo. The location is perfect—close to the sea and set within a charming, historic commune. The apartment was spotless and thoughtfully furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen that made it easy to prepare meals. Both bathrooms were modern and beautifully designed. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Perfect little getaway
Property as advertised and then some. Plenty of space to stretch out and relax while the rooftop provided the most serene moments. Well appointed and great for those who choose to cook. A note for future reference, to
open the door to the apartment turn the key counter clockwise 2.5 times 😁.
Dirk and Michelle were great communicators and helped us every step of the way. Much appreciated!!

Medici apartment
Everything about this apartment and location was perfect. The views of the mountains and the sunset are breathtaking. The kitchen is fully stocked whether you want to cook elaborated meal or just have a cup of coffee. This apartment has the modern bathrooms and kitchen while keeping the charm and the originality of the medieval style. Dirk and Michelle left a detailed brochure with explanations of how everything works in the apartment and the places to visit, eat, and some basic education on Italian cuisine and culture. It was very helpful for us.
You will step outside and will be in the center of the beautiful town. Everything is within walking distance, literally few steps. People in the village are very friendly and speak enough English (we used google translate and had no problems). Not to mention that the town and the area are very safe. The food is delicious and inexpensive. We got lucky during our stay there was a food and music and dance festival in the town. We got to experience it all but mostly the culture of the local
People and we made friends. Will definitely recommend to visit the town and to stay in this apartment. Whoever will be the next guest, you are the lucky one. Thank you Dirk and Michelle.

Great place!
We loved the uniqueness of this property, renovated in a way that held on to many of the original architecture. Very clear directions for parking and accessing the apartment. Kitchen was well stocked with glasses, plates, etc. and a huge table. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was too hard for us (but that is a matter of preference), our friends found the bed in upstairs bedroom to be fine. Overall a lovely visit.

The property itself is a stunning updated apartment that fit our needs perfectly, the location is exactly what we had hoped for and made it easy and comfortable comfortable to visit with my local family who were also very impressed. I cannot recommend this rental enough and have already passed. The word to my other family who may visit our ancestral homeland. 🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful
Both the apartment and the views were stunning! We had such a lovely time in CSA. The apartment is right in the middle of everything - walked to dinner, drinks, the market, etc. The space was very luxurious and large. We loved sitting around the large kitchen table for coffee and cornettos (purchased at the local pasticceria) where we would plan our day. The hosts had everything laid out with great instructions. Thought parking would be difficult, but ended up being quite easy. They were also extremely responsive to all our questions. We would definitely go back!

The perfect location to enjoy Abruzzo
We had a wonderful time experiencing this beautiful region of Italy for the first time. The house itself has every comfort with views of the sea and mountains. It really is as nice as the photos and does not disappoint. Many personal touches make it a relaxing place from where to experience this village in an authentic way. We really enjoyed the historical points of interest, as well as buying from the local market and shops and then cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. All the information on the area was very helpful and a lunch at il Grottino was a particular highlight. Thank you to the hosts for putting so much care into this accommodation.

Spectacular home in magnificent setting! The host has thought of everything you could possibly want or need! So considerate…thank you for the welcome basket!
Decor and renovations are top of the line. We absolutely LOVED the house! The neighboring villages are as beautiful with friendly, welcoming restaurants and shops. Which brings me to the only bummer was is the village people themselves. Unusually cold, unfriendly to tourist. Never encountered anything like it in all my travels. After two days we decided to go to towns close by and enjoyed wonderful experiences. More than made up for it!

Dirk and Michelle’s property is as unique as its location in Citta Sant Angelo. Steeped in history but with all modern luxuries it was a perfect location for our stay. We will miss the scent of woodsmoke in the evenings from the glorious open fire and the beautiful sound of the campane della chiesa every day. Thank you both for a wonderful stay.

A magical place!
Our stay in this amazing apartment was simply magical, exceeding all our expectations. We spent 7 wonderful days here enjoying the charming hilltop village and exploring the surrounding area. The apartment is huge and is exactly as pictured, with two very large bedrooms with firm but comfortable beds, amazing bathrooms, a very well equipped kitchen, and many sitting areas. The views from the sun porch and upstairs bedroom are stunning. We spent many hours relaxing in front of the large bedroom window enjoying the view and watching the swallows at work. It was very quiet and very safe. The renovation work was absolutely stunning - completely modernized yet maintaining a rustic, old world feel.
The apartment is located in the old (ancient) village of Citta Sant’Angelo. There are several excellent restaurants and take-away shops within walking distance as well as small market shops, incredible bakeries and butcher shops should you want to cook. Try to plan staying over a Wednesday to enjoy the market day – it really was delightful. We found the locals to be very helpful and friendly and while English was limited (and our Italian even more so), we managed quite nicely. There was plenty of free, convenient parking available as well.
The owner Michelle was instantly available via email for any questions and was very helpful with everything.
We have rented many apartments in Europe and give this apartment our highest recommendation. We highly recommend staying here if you are interested in exploring this amazing, "off-the-beaten path" area of Italy. It will be a visit you’ll never forget.

The apartment is located in a beautiful, quiet and wonderfully located historic town with the most beautiful views of both mountains and sea.

Malerisches Altstadtflair
Die Wohnung liegt malerisch mitten im alten Ortskern direkt neben der Kirche. Innen ist alles komplett renoviert und neu eingerichtet. Einzig der Boiler bzw. die Gasleitung benötigt noch eine Überholung, daß man zuverlässig heißes Wasser zum Duschen hat. Bei Tagestemperaturen von deutlich über 30 Grad kostet eine kühle Dusche jedoch kaum Überwindung.
Der alte Dorfkern befindet sich im Wandel und wird nach und nach erneuert. Er lädt zu Spaziergängen ein und hinter jeder Ecke lauert eine neue Überraschung.
Wir haben uns verliebt und den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Vielen Dank für alles.

Urlaub im Palazzo
Sehr schöne und sehr stilvoll eingerichtete Wohnung mit extrem viel Platz in einem Palazzo aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut. Città San Angelo selbst bietet 2 kleine Lebensmittelgeschäfte, 3 Bäcker und 2 Restaurants sowie diverse Bars. Für das Nötigste ist somit gesorgt. Großer Supermarkt ist auch nicht weit und in Pescara gibt es sowieso Alles. Die Menschen in Città sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Entfernung zum Meer sowie zu den wirklich hohen Bergen ist gering. Die Strände sind breit und sehr gepflegt. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Urlaub. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.
