"We stayed at the apartment from 14th to 21st of July. We saw the description and the pictures on the Homelidays webpage, and booked it because of the location, the size and the distance to the airport. We did a trip in the Abruzzo surroundings by rented car some days before we came to Pescara. The apartment was very nice; the rooms were perfectly clean and suited our company of six adults perfectly. The kitchen was well equipped and it was easy to understand gas cooking and Italian coffee making. The overall space of the kitchen and combined living room was very nice. The sleeping rooms were large with space enough for two people. The bathroom on the lower floor had a modern design with spa bathtub and shower. Upstairs it was a small bathroom with shower. We had problems with low water pressure, but I understand that this now fixed. That makes everything perfect. There is a nice roof balcony upstairs. We did not use the barbeque because of the hot weather. There are four balconies all together. The temperature was around forty Celsius degrees while we stayed there. That is the reason for not using the balconies very much. The fuses are small, but it is easy to learn how the reset them. It would have been better with a little more to go on the electricity system.
The apartment is situated in a quiet, but very central area. It is only 100 meters to the beach, where we spend most of the time because of the hot weather by the time of our stay. We found our favorite beach where they had good small pizzas for lunch, good service and a swimming pool. The sea was not at its cleanest, but the swimming pool was excellent. There was a china restaurant nearby, where they had excellent food at a very good price both for lunch and in the evening.
As I have written, it was a very warm period, warmer than in years, so the only trip outside the city we took was a bus trip to Chieti one evening. That was a nice town in the surrounding mountains. The other evenings we either made our dinner at home or found a restaurant in the city. The old town was not very interesting. It was not very old, and the restaurant we got table at, were a wannabe-gourmet restaurant with overprized, not at all good food. The restaurants we tried along the beach were all good, and we found two small, traditional and very good eateries not far from the train station.
We had a very nice stay in Paola´s apartment, and Paola herself was wonderful. She did all she could to give us a pleasant stay. We will easily recommend this apartment to other people.
