Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising: Abruzzo

Surrounded by cypresses and olive trees, this hilltop villa is the perfect place to soak up the Italian sunshine. Featuring elegant interiors inspired by classical style and a tranquil Mediterranean garden, we reckon you'll never want to leave. Each room features antique furniture and paintings, and we can just imagine sinking back into the leather sofa in the living room. In the garden, take a dip in the swimming pool, sunbathe on a lounger, or just settle back with a cool drink on the terrace – it's hard not to be enraptured by the views of the coastline. Prepare an Italian feast in the kitchen, which has a dishwasher, fridge, and oven, or enjoy a barbecue in the garden, then admire the sunset with a glass of wine in hand. This charming villa lies just a short drive from the beach in San Benedetto del Tronto, where you might savour seafood in a restaurant or take walks along the palm-lined promenade.
