The house of the Red Lion is 1 km from the town of Sant'Apollinare Chieti (1000 inhabitants).
Here are all the essential shops.
The house can be reached along the provincial road to Lanciano and the last 300 m of gravel road.
The house, the pool and the appurtenances, are for the exclusive use of those who are guests at that time; surrounded by vineyards it is situated in a dominant position on a hill, 1. 5 hectares of vineyard attached to the house and owned, ensure the necessary privacy.
Even if the rustic and the surrounding houses may seem far from each other, the layout means that those who live in the house at that time, can find the place cozy and peaceful.
Only one thing I remember to my potential customers, mine is a real country house, a rustic, with the limits, intended as peculiarities but also the advantages offered by these structures.
The pool is 7 meters long and 3 meters wide and the depth varies from a maximum of 130 cm to a minimum of 40 cm.
In the bathroom type towels are provided (one large and one small for each guest present), there are no bathrobes and hair dryers because they are considered strictly personal accessories.
At 4.5 km there is San Vito marina and above San Vito village (capital), most equipped places.
At 10 km and equidistant there are the towns of Ortona at sea and Lanciano.

    The pictures, description and reviews don’t do it full justice. The house is full of clever well thought out details. It’s lovely, with a sun trap outdoor eating area and pool, a jacuzzi, plus it’s only a 15 minute walk into the town.

    We had a great holiday! The house is very peaceful and very nice. The garden has a good fence, we took our large dog, so he could be outside with us without wandering off ;-) Special thanks to Giovanni Berghella :-)

    We stayed here for quite some weeks and really enjoyed the house and especially the views were stunning to see! The host Giovanni was very friendly and helped us with everything. He is learning the english language and we learnt some Italian from him. Thank you very much and we’ll keep in touch!

    We had all in all a perfect and relaxing stay at this lovely place. The owner was very helpful. He gave us lots of information about the region and history. We would love to return one day.

    Giovanni's father's home is situated on a hill overlooking miles of vineyards. Sitting at the large round tiled table under a canopy gazing at the landscape with your breakfast, wine, whatever, is positively idyllic. Despite being only 15 minutes from the Adriatic and the many seaside restaurants, and a short drive to welcoming hill towns and vineyards, all you hear are birds and the distant hum of tractors and cars. The core of the house is very old, but the kitchen has modern appliances and is well equipped. The living/dining room is large and comfortable (and, besides, you want to spend all your time outside). The staircase to the bedrooms is a small spiral. The two bedrooms are large, nicely furnished with large, screened windows with expansive views. The pool and outdoor equipment are perfect . Giovanni could not be a better host. We strongly recommend this property.

    Spent 6 wonderful and relaxing days in Giovannis house in the hills, where we enjoyed the pool, the beach, the food and the scenic views. Perfect location for our little family (2 kids: 4 & 7 years old). Giovanni was a great host and made sure to make us feel welcome and at home right away! I hope we can come back another time and give my warmest recommendations.

    We had a very pleasant stay at the house. From arriving till leaving we have enjoyed all comfort of the property, the beautiful views around the house and the pool. A hidden paradise in the middle of nowhere. A virtue to stay there and enjoy a slower pace of life. Gracie mille alla Famiglia Berghella per l'ospitalità e la loro gentilezza. Molti saluti dal Belgio! Vincent e Charlotte.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house with our 2 dogs. So much wildlife! Most mornings we saw foxes, deer and wild boar from the garden, looking down into the valley. We enjoyed days at some of the local beaches and also days out in the mountains. Lovely walk up Majella, which had a very dog friendly restaurant. The views up there are breathtaking. Giovanni was extremely helpful and always on hand if needed. Would definitely like to visit again.
