    The home's location is just an unbelievable few-step walk to the magnificent view of the Adriatic Sea. Based in the historic city center, Vasto's piazza, shops, and restaurants are just around the corner to enjoy. The immaculately clean casa has a lovely bedroom, bathroom, and living room with plenty of storage. The kitchenette is well-stocked and practical, albeit snug. The most striking aspect of our stay in Vasto was our incredibly kind and attentive hosts, Judy and James. They made our stay magical and unforgettable. Their knowledge of the Vasto and surrounding areas was unmatched. Everything from where to park to the best sites, restaurants, and beach areas was spot-on. We highly recommend staying at James and Judy's home. Our stay exceeded all expectations.

    Great area, it was a bit noisy at night due to the festival activities but would definitely recommend trying out this cute villa in the small piazza. Judy and James are wonderful! Quick to respond if necessary and provide so much information about the area, things to do, events and life in general in Vasto. We will be back!

    My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Vasto. This rental was in a great location - set just a little back from from the main streets, it was close enough to be part of everything but still be private and quiet once we tucked in for the night. It was literally just steps away from the best view in town. James and Judy were wonderful hosts and provided so many good recommendations of restaurants and things to do. They clearly love this town and are excited to share it with you. We only speak a little Italian, but everyone we interacted with in Vasto (and the rest of Abruzzo) was very warm and welcoming, and we were able to get along great. Really, this is a lovely home in a lovely place - we will certainly be back!

    Properly was located very centrally. While small it met all our needs. Judy and James met us in the plaza and were very gracious hosts. Some many great restaurants and shops. Excellent people watching. Would definitely recommend this apartment to others.

    Good central location, close to shops, bars & restaurants. Situated in a quaint little Piazza with many alleyways which lead to different parts of the old town - but you soon find your way around! The property was very clean, the bedroom was confortable & bathroom very spacious. Judy & James were very helpful and even text us to see if we wanted the air conditioning on when it got very hot - we were glad we accepted their offer. The A/C was very effective and very quiet. We soon got into the Italian routine of having our Siesta between 12.30 and 4pm, we enjoyed breakfast at Bar Roma in the Piazza Rossetti and our Apperol Spritz at Bar Miro in the evenings. Vasto beach is long & sandy & very clean and it is an easy walk from the old town. It's a good idea to get the bus back up the hill! If you're looking for a centrally located but tucked away property in the old town, this is it.

    At just stones throw from the sea views and great bars and restaurants this little house offers the holidaymaker a great base for exploring all that Vasto offers.

    This house is beautiful and in a perfect location to the old town of Vasto. The house is very well presented, spotlessly clean and everything had been thought of from linen to pots, pans, cooking essentials such as olive oil to dvds and beach toys for the children. We were very impressed with the owners Judy and James for their efficiency and accuracy in everything, they supplied us with a lot of information on Vasto such as local restaurants and places to visit, as well as parking, they were very thorough. They also kept us informed of everything that was going on in town so we didn’t miss out. We absolutely LOVED Vasto. We will definitely come back again. Thank you!

    We really enjoyed our first stay in Italy. The house is centrally located, yet it is still very quiet. I cooked at home most nights and used the excellent local produce. There are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance too. I personally don't like touristy places and had no real desire to be in crowds of tourists spoiling the sights. Vasto is a great compromise. It has beautiful architecture, lots of shops and yet a very good beach is withing walking distance. The walk back is uphill, but there are plenty of cheap buses to take you back. We spoke no Italian, but got by with a couple of basic words. People here are very friendly and willing to help. I even managed to get a new pair of glasses as my main pair broke. (Shouldn't've gone to a well-known opticians!). The optician spoke no English but a professor customer, exemplifying the friendliness, spoke French and Italian and he helped me! Judith and James are extremely knowledgeable about the town they clearly adore. There are plenty of recommendations listed in the casa. I drove all the way from England but we didn't need to use the car in the fortnight we were there. Vasto was too nice to leave. This was an excellent two weeks for us. Thank you Judith and James!
