The farm holiday is only 10 minutes drive from the Adriatic seaside with its wide and sandy beaches, just a few kilometers away from the historical towns of Citta` S. Angelo, Penne and Atri, and about 1 hour drive from beautiful mountains like the Gran Sasso D'Italia featuring a peak of 2912 meters.

Città S. Angelo - Some say that Città S. Angelo is the same as the “Angulum” mentioned by the Latin historian Plinio in his work “Naturalis Historia”. This has not been officially proved, but surely many archeological findings confirm a large presence of our Roman ancestors in this area.

The first documents where Città S. Angelo appears date back to the First Middle Ages, just when the so called village of “Civitas Sancti Angeli” was provided with those wall fortifications that are still one of the most distinctive marks of Città S. Angelo.

After that arguments occurred between Città S. Angelo and the emperor Federico II who later ordered for Città S. Angelo to be destroyed, but he was only partially successful.
From then on, Città S. Angelo has always been one of the main players in the local history alongside with other important villages in the area such as Penne and Loreto.

Nowadays Città S. Angelo is a lovely medieval village of the 21st century. It managed to preserve the taste and the uniqueness of those times; therefore, although it is a lively and fast growing village, you can still enjoy places in the old town centre where it seems that time stopped some centuries ago.
