Country House Villa Gigina

Villa Gigina has its roots in a family history deeply connected to the local area. Once a stable and workshop of the grandfather, a master mason, it was rebuilt after the earthquake and now welcomes guests in a unique setting that retains the charm of its origins while incorporating modern comforts and a vibrant artisanal spirit. The property features a country house, two apartments, and a woodworking and sculpture workshop, which serves as the creative heart of the villa.

The apartment is decorated in a country style, with influences from the 1920s to the 1960s, providing spacious and inviting areas. The fully equipped kitchen allows for the preparation of meals for large groups, and outside, a barbecue is available for enjoying local flavors grilled to perfection. The four bedrooms, each defined by a dominant color, are furnished with beds featuring toppers and memory foam pillows for a restorative night's sleep. The living area is enhanced by a 4K television with streaming services and Bluetooth connection, while a library filled with hundreds of volumes invites guests to discover new reads.

The completely fenced garden makes it an ideal retreat for those traveling with pets. The villa is energy independent, thanks to its photovoltaic and solar systems, water sourced from a well, and heating that includes a functioning late 19th-century wood stove. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered with sustainability in mind, reflecting the philosophy of Andrea, the host and sculptor, who has always lived and worked within these walls, creating many of the furnishings present.

San Gregorio serves as an excellent starting point for nature lovers and those seeking an authentic local lifestyle. Located on the outskirts of Pescara, it offers easy access to the most picturesque villages and the historic city center. Just a short walk from the villa, there is an organic farm, a riding school that organizes horseback excursions, and the local bakery, renowned for its traditional bread and pastries. Within a few minutes' drive, guests can find supermarkets, pharmacies, and shops, while the surrounding countryside provides fresh, local produce.

Villa Gigina is a residence that tells a story of family, craftsmanship, and environmental respect, offering guests an authentic and enriching experience.
