Description

The B&B Il Secolo Breve is a house from the early 1900s, gradually modified over the past century, becoming at times a manor house, an Allied post on the Gustav line, a winery, a private home, and - today - a B&B with character and atmosphere, designed for independent and curious travelers.

The B&B offers different solutions, some independent and with kitchenettes, all air-conditioned, with private bathrooms and a shared garden where a barbecue area and an outdoor kitchen promote relaxation outdoors.

The parking area is fenced.

The large ground floor apartment can be used by people with reduced mobility.

Unfortunately, this year anti-Covid restrictions may make the shared use of common areas and outdoor kitchen more complicated.

The B&B uses solar panels, solar thermal, and wood heating as a power source and offers the sincere availability of the managers to help you discover Abruzzo, a region of continuity.

The B&B Il Secolo Breve uses certified industrial laundry linen and towels, and this year more than ever guarantees rigorous attention to the cleanliness of the environment (also sanitized with ozone, as well as following the procedures and protocols developed by the WHO).

A perfect balance between independence (the house is equipped with everything) and community (you can feel the family atmosphere). Mario is the best host to understand the area, its history, but above all its resistance to "unaware" and wasteful tourism; immediately able to offer comfort, excursions, culinary discoveries and lifestyles. In the evening and at night the place is magical for admiring the sky. I recommend it to anyone who loves freedom.

A beautiful place, a strategic starting point for visiting villages, trabocchi, beaches and woods. The accommodation is set in a garden that envelops you in calm and relaxation. It exceeded our expectations. We stayed with our dog and had a wonderful time. The owner is really kind and very helpful. We highly recommend it.

The Short Century is a very charming rustic place. Mario, the owner, reflects its soul and is a perfect interlocutor to discover the Abruzzo territory.
