Town house with a terrace and fire place in Scanno.
Scanno is conseidered the Pear of Abruzzo. This beautiful traditional house is full of character. It is located in the historical medieval centre of Scanno (1050m over see level). This ski resort house has been completely renovated to a very high standard. The approx. 100m property has two double bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. There is also a second bathroom, a spectacular living room with fireplace and sofa bed, a grand kitchen-dining room and a wonderful terrace with views of the mountains and the town centre. The Ski lift to Scanno Monterotondo is just 3 minutes walk from the house. Skiing in the National Park of Abruzzo is a different experience. Magical! In summer the ski lift is open to take hikers closer to the heart of the national park. Scanno is also a gastronomic and trekking paradise.

1750’s house in charming medieval town
Great house in charming medieval town. This house has four floors and a roof terrace. There are a lot of stairs, but we knew about them ahead of time, and it was not a problem. We shopped at local shops, which are very close by, and made several lunches and dinners in the ground floor kitchen. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The town has many restaurants within an easy walk. We spent time at the nearby lake, renting a boat and having an aperitif. There are many churches to explore in the town as well. We would definitely stay here again. Victor was very informative and easy to communicate with.

5 days in beautiful Scanno
very nice vertical house in center of old town.
great location near restaurants and coffee shops.
very clean. easy access and departure. not a property for people who struggle with stairs. hot water in showers is a little tricky. shower in one of the bathrooms needs a door, and washing machine could use some written instructions. overall, we enjoyed it, and recommend it with the few caveats already mentioned.

Property is tired and not good value
In the write up there is some pride taken in the fact that the property was renovated in 2006... that was 13 years ago... the decor of the house is showing its age.
The terrace, on the 4th level, is scruffy, dirty and although it really catches the sun, it looks across at other taller buildings not, I quote from the listing, "with beautiful views of the mountains and the town centre". You can see the top of the clock tower in the town centre from the terrace - at least you know the time.
There are 35 steps between ground and 3rd floor which in itself doesn't sound many however they are a good exercise.
The ski lift is 3 minutes away if you're Usain Bolt and only opens, in the summer, at the beginning of July. When we were there, the ski lift was 5 Euro 1 way or 8 Euro return or 20 Euro for the full day. However, only the first stage of the lift operates in summer to the rifugio at about 1,600 metres - Scanno is at about 1,050 metres.
Some things in the kitchen should be condemned under some health act. We washed everything before using it and didn't cook in the kitchen during our 4 day stay.
The WiFi (broadband) is actually a vodafone SIM and, each time I tried to use it some warning came up about paying 1 cent.... Fortunately Scanno, on my own UK phone with Vodafone, has great 4G coverage so I used that to connect my laptop to the internet. Top up your data minutes before you go.
Bottom line? Nice enough place but over priced for what you get.

Great property in ancient town
The apartment was lovely and spacious, and in a great part of the town. Close to shops on the Main Street. Only a couple of kilometers from lac scanno which was lovely to kayak on a really hot day.
We thought of the apartment as a bit of a workout as it's on four floors with one room on each floor. Victor was a wonderful host and very knowledgeable on the history of Scanno and Sulmona.

Fantastic Location in the Historic Town center
Very quiet, but very central location in the historic town center of Scanno. Nice, clean, cosy and still sufficiently spacious accommodation - everything available required for cooking and relaxing. Grocery stores, as well as hand-made cookie & noodle shops and many other shops just around the corner. Only instructions for waste disposal were not exactly comprehensive.
We (family of 4) enjoyed staying in this house for two weeks, having a second home and a base for doing spectacular hiking tours, bicycle rides, and horse riding. Flowers and wildlife are awesome. Wonderful stay!

Soggiorno a Scanno
Il soggiorno è andato bene,il posto è carino.
Devo fare un appunto riguardo alla presentazione dell'appartamento: specificate meglio che le stanze si dislocano su tre piani e ci sono molte scale non proprio comodissime.

Soggiorno positivo.
Soggiorno positivo, tuttavia segnalo alcuni punti: nelle caratteristiche della casa c'è scritto Wi-Fi gratuito. A livello internazionale non si può scrivere in questo modo quando in casa c'è una c.d. saponetta con 10 giga.
È opportuno segnalare che la casa è su 3 livelli, per cui è sconsigliato per chi ha problemi di deambulazione.
