Agriturismo Borgo San Martino

The farm holiday “Il Portone” in ‘Borgo San Martino’ is set on the green hills of Abbateggio, in the heart of the Majella National Park.
It is immersed in a natural environment suitable for hiking and excursions on a mountain bike and it is surrounded by a vast and interesting panorama embracing the Mount Majella, the beautiful hills and the Adriatic sea.

The farm holiday is the result of a careful restoration which preserved the original architectural elements, typical of the rural architecture, making use of materials like stones and fired bricks.
 

It offers 9 bedrooms, each one with a bathroom and an independent entrance, and 2 flats with 2 bedrooms.
Each room, with en suite bathroom, has antique period furniture, skilfully renovated. Sheets, blankets, towels and curtains in pure linen and cotton, are the results of careful, detailed sewing and embroidery in total respect of ancestral traditions.
Every space has been renovated without betraying the original style; vaulted roofs with beams and old stone walls offer visitors a warm atmosphere rich in history.
