For those who would like to move to Abruzzo and enjoy a regular income throughout the seasons, the sale of this much-acclaimed historic eco B&B and home in Pratola Peligna (AQ), on the doorstep of Sulmona offers a superb opportunity. A 7% personal flat tax is available to foreign residents who settle in Pratola Peligna and beneficial commercial business tax breaks as Abruzzo is in the ZES zone from the 1st January 2024.
The property would make an ideal location for those considering offering a co-housing facility and the possibility of providing long-stay accommodation. This would appeal to those with Italy’s new digital nomad visa or foreigners who would love to live long-term in Italy and have residency and the 7% flat tax rate benefit but don’t wish to buy. There is the possibility of accommodating 20 people if the business is converted to this model.
It is in an excellent central location, close to a range of shops and supermarkets, banks, post offices, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants and the local council offices. The nearest hospital is Sulmona, a 12-minute car journey with the town offering essential dental and health services day and night with the added security of the Croce Verde ambulance station.
Pratola Peligna enjoys the benefits of regular public transport connections and an easy drive to Sulmona, Pescara, L’Aquila, Naples, and Rome. It is twinned with Hamilton in Canada. Historically many of the local community migrated here, and come back to visit! It is a quiet and peaceful place, where nature reigns supreme and human contact and socialising is “as it used to be”.
The owners have secured a ‘5’ on their Trip Advisor ranking, alongside ‘#1 B&B in Pratola Peligna’ status. They have marketed it organically only through their website and social media to date with an average of 20-25 guests per annum when they open over the holiday periods. They have not advertised it through Airbnb.
A beautiful 4-storey townhouse that has been renovated in keeping with Italy's newest earthquake regulations and which enjoys the cost cutting benefits of solar power!
On the ground floor is the well established Angolo Antico B&B, that has been open since 2011. It has 3 rooms, all with private bathrooms, and a communal breakfast room: the business has a healthy number of guests throughout the year when they open for the holiday season.
On the first floor there is a finished apartment with 2 bedrooms, a living room and bathroom.
On the second floor there is an apartment to be finished with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room.
On the third floor (a bright, habitable attic) there are two light and roomy apartments to be finished with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room and bathroom.
The owner estimates the final finishing touches (fixtures and fittings) to the unfinished apartments would cost a maximum of €50,000 depending on individual taste.
The property is equipped with a photovoltaic system that supplies electricity to the entire green building and to the 2 garages that both have electric car charging points.
Nestled in the heart of Italy's Abruzzo region and the Valle Peligna, Pratola Peligna is a charmingly quaint town that borders the Maiella Geo Park. It is a 12 minute journey to Sulmona, 45 minute drive to the beach at Pescara and just 1.5 hours to Rome. It offers a perfect blend of rustic beauty and convenient connectivity. New foreign residents to the town can enjoy a 7% flat tax rate for up to 9 years if moving here.
With its picturesque landscape dominated by the imposing Mount Morrone, this gem is surprisingly accessible, just a stone's throw from the A25 autostrada for Rome or to the beach; it is where you would change for Sulmona if travelling from Rome. It's popular amongst hikers, mountainbikers and riders, for local walks and and that the train stops here.. Like so many of the region's towns it fills up with local families returning from afar every summer.
Its streets are a medieval maze and every corner tells a centuries-old story. Fruitful vistas include lush vineyards, ancient olive groves and plenty of playful sunflowers; on the doorstep is the much-acclaimed Margiotta winery. The town's small but vibrant market is held every Friday and features the produce of local farmers for 0km eating. The beans grown around Pratola Peligna are legendary and known as poverelli, both white (like a think skinned cannellini bean that requires no soaking) and a small borlotti bean. It is also the home to the much loved family pasta brand, Masciarelli.
From January 1st 2024, the Italian government included Abruzzo in the SEZ (Special Economic Zones) which ensures those who purchase a commercial business in Abruzzo can request important tax breaks.
It is expected that the town will receive a further tourism boost when L'Aquila, just an hour's drive away, becomes Italian Capital of Culture in 2026.

Hello everyone, we are Antonella and Roberto and we have had our Bed and Breakfast since July 2011.After the 2009 earthquake we renovated the entire property adjacent to the church of San Rocco with the idea of making it our home and opening the first Bed and Breakfast in Pratola Peligna. It was a success that still continues today more than 13 years later... We have hosted many people from all over the world and we still continue to do so today.....But we are now of a certain age, we don't have children and I can no longer reconcile my work as a teacher with the management of the accommodation facility and therefore we would like, reluctantly, to sell it.It's a beautiful job that introduces one to many people from all over the world and we would be happy to help the new owners settle here in Pratola Peligna. Here the quality of life is very high, you live well in contact with nature and the population is very quiet and friendly.It is an excellent investment because the structure has been in operation for some time and Abruzzo is a region whose tourists is increasing.
