Villa Ardente is an old farmhouse immersed in the tranquillity of the Abruzzo countryside in the municipality of Bellante, a few kilometres from the Adriatic coast. A former 16th century farmhouse, as evidenced by a stone plaque engraved in the wall and dated 1561, it has recently undergone careful restoration and renovation where an attempt has been made to maintain as much as possible the characteristics of the old architectural structure, consisting of the old farmhouse and its stables, and to recreate the old atmosphere but with modern comforts. Vaulted brick ceilings with wooden beams, walls highlighting the antique, skilfully-restored stone, handmade terracotta floors with tiles dating back to the 1600s, are the finishes adopted in the choices of this renovation, with the aim of maintaining as much as possible a trace of what once was. The large open-plan kitchen and dining area open to the outside, thanks to the French windows that directly overlook the garden, a few metres from the pool, creating a constant union between indoors and outdoors. The rooms are bright and furnished with modern furniture, such as the large living room characterised by light-coloured sofas gathered around a large TV screen. From the large terraces on the first floor, the view sweeps from the coast to the massifs of the Abruzzo mountains on the horizon, offering the beauty of both landscapes, marine and mountain, that characterise this region of Italy. The villa enjoys absolute privacy and tranquillity and is ten minutes from the hamlet of Bellante Stazione, where all useful services, shops, supermarkets and restaurants can be found.
Interior:
The villa of about 500 sq m is spread over three floors connected by an internal staircase. The main entrance, located on the ground floor, leads directly to the living area consisting of a lounge with fireplace, a games room, a large living room with sofas and TV, and a large dining room with kitchen. Opposite the entrance is a guest bathroom and a double bedroom with outside access and ensuite bathroom with shower. The floor is completed by the laundry room. To the rear of the dining room is the staircase to the upper floors. The first floor consists of two double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom with shower, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms with shower. One of the bedrooms has direct access to the large terrace with external staircase leading to the garden. The second floor consists of a double bedroom with terrace, a single bedroom and a bathroom with shower and whirlpool tub. Air conditioning in the six double bedrooms
Park:
The villa is immersed in a 4-hectare park. The garden belonging to the house, not fenced, extends for about 2000 square metres. After the long driveway that cuts between the cultivated fields, one descends slightly towards the house and the garden. The land around the villa is mostly flat, except for a small, slightly sloping area at the back and slightly hilly on the other side, where the whirlpool tub is also located, in a picturesque spot under the trees. All around, it is bordered by trees and hedges typical of the Abruzzo countryside in this area. The rest is lawn around the swimming pool that dominates the central part of the garden, a few metres from the villa. A wooden gazebo with tables and chairs is the ideal place for outdoor dining.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool, just a few metres from the villa, has a particular colour thanks to the cement coating with an emerald river effect. Measuring 6 x 12 m with a constant depth of 1.50 m, it has chlorine purification and is accessible via internal steps in a corner of the pool. Equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, the pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
