Very spacious house in nice Abruzzo village

The location is a very nice starting point to explore the Abruzzo mountain area with its nice villages and towns. And it is only a short way to get to the Adriatic coast.

When we arrived, couldn't ooen the front door, had to enter through the garage. The toilet didn't flush, the kitchen sink faucet was detached from the sink, the shower head wasn't attached tight and couldn't tighten it, the sheets were torn and had stains, we couldnt wirk the pellet stove and no instructions in english.When the management company was contacted, they wanted me to stand on a chair and look in the cistern to fix the toilet problem, they also wanted me to send a video of me pushing the toilet flush button. When asked about the trash they said leave it and they would take care of it after our 3 week stay, so we had eight bags of trash in the garage. The owner sent instructions for the stove and after three days, a plumber came and cleaned the toilet valves and fixed the sink.The house was filthy so we asked for a mop and the management company wanted an explanation.The description said a restaurant was in town, but it was a bar with 20 men sitting around smoking and drinking.To improve, someone should have been on site.Not a recommended stay for a visit to a great area Abruzzo.

Soggiorno veramente confortevole

La casa è perfetta, non manca nulla ed è tenuta in maniera splendida. La zona è ideale come punto di partenza per chi vuole visitare il parco del Gran Sasso. Il paese è molto piccolo e mancano alcuni servizi utili come il bancomat, ma comunque nei paesi vicini si trova tutto. Se dovessimo tornare in Abruzzo torneremo sicuramente ad Ofena.

Solo la seconda volta di una lunga serie

Questo è il secondo soggiorno che facciamo e sicuramente rifaremo l'anno prossimo. La casa è fantastica e Stephanie è meravigliosa. E' il posto ideale per stare tranquilli e nello stesso tempo per la sua posizione ti permette di visitare un sacco di bellissimo posti. I vicini fantastici sono la ciliegina sulla torta This is the second stay we have and will definitely do it again next year. The house is great and Stephanie is wonderful. It is the ideal place to be quiet and at the same time for its position it allows you to visit a lot of beautiful places. Fantastic neighbors are the icing on the cake

Location particulièrement recommandée

Agréable maison de village, propre et bien équipée avec belle terrasse en hauteur dans un site exceptionnel. Les habitants sont très accueillants et très sympathiques. A proximité de sentiers d'excursion et de beaux villages médiévaux. Pour les randonnées, adressez-vous au Bosso.

schöne, ruhige Unterkunft

Wir waren als Gruppe mit Rennrädern unterwegs. Schön ist, dass es für Räder einen großen und sicheren Abstellplatz gibt. Wer Tagestouren in die Berge und Täler unternimmt, findet hier einen guten Ausgangspunkt. Die Wohnung hat mit der hinteren Dachterrasse drei Ebenen, Treppensteigen im Haus ist obligatorisch. Wo es Abstriche gibt: hin und wieder Stromausfall, kann aber am Stromkasten schnell behoben werden; Sitzmöbel auf der vorderen Terasse, die schon aus dem "Leim" gehen; Küche ist ohne Fenster. Unterkunft bietet ausreichend Platz für 6 Personen. Obwohl das Haus nicht solitär steht, ist es sehr ruhig und es gibt nette und hilfsbereite Nachbarn. Die Vermieterin ist nur online präsent und steht bei Problemen mit der Wohnung (Haustechnik etc.) nicht zur Verfügung. Im Notfall ist man auf eine Ansprechadresse von außerhalb des Orts verwiesen, was bei uns aber nicht notwendig war.

Fabulous Holiday Home

We stayed in Stephanie's house for 14 nights. The house is very well equipped with everything we needed. Great outdoor areas with a lovely large balcony with fantastic views and a rear garden with a gas BBQ and lovely peaceful dining area. Ofena is a typical, unspoilt Italian village with friendly locals and a super friendly village dog. We immediately felt relaxed, despite probably being the only tourists there. The house is very old and full of character but with modern kitchen and bathrooms and comfortable living room, although we spent most of our evenings outside. Ofena is perfectly located for exploring the spectacular mountains in the surrounding national parks. Although Stephanie is in New Zealand she always responded quickly to any messages and Sergio dealt with an immediate issue when we requested a replacement gas tank which was replaced within 12 hours and with great communication. We loved this house in an ideal location. It is obvious from our communications with Stephanie that she wants her guests to have a wonderful experience in her accommodation. I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.

Kleines Bergdörfchen mit Charme

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Die Leute sind überaus herzlich (vom ersten Tag an saßen wir abends mit auf dem Dorfplatz und waren integriert), die Natur grandios, die kleinen Städtchen in der Nähe laden zum Bummeln ein. Abseits jeden Tourismus. Muss man halt mögen ...

Eine schöne Zeit....

Obwohl wir die Unterkunft von den Bildern auf FeWo-direkt kannten, waren wir überrascht von dem großzügigen Raumangebot. Das Haus bittet alles, was man als Selbstversorger für einen sorgenlosen Urlaub benötigt. Zur Entspannung lässt sich dann der Tag bei einem Glas Wein auf dem Balkon mit Blick auf die Berge ausklingen oder auf der Terrasse bei etwas frisch Gegrilltem. Ofena ist, sofern man motorisiert ist, ein idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Abruzzen zu entdecken. Neben einem Restaurant gibt es aktuell auch einen Mini Markt in Ofena. Hier bekommt man eigentlich alles, was man für den Alltag benötig. Und das sogar sehr preiswert. Wir würden jederzeit wieder diese Unterkunft mieten. Ein großen Dank noch mal an Stephanie, die Vermieterin, mit der es sehr angenehm war zu kommunizieren.
