About





Just outside the tranquil hilltop village of Roccafinadomo (between Arsita and Penne), this restored farmhouse offers a rare chance to own a piece of Abruzzo’s rural heritage, a place that balances history, comfort, and the potential for both home and business.
La Rocca

Once part of the summer residence of the Duke of Caracciolo, the property is now arranged as three independent apartments, ideal for those seeking a flexible living space that can also serve as a holiday rental business, a creative retreat, or a bed and breakfast.

Set in 3,000 square metres of land, the farmhouse is surrounded by nature. The garden features young cherry, apple, cypress, and walnut trees, along with four mature olive trees, creating a peaceful oasis that captures the essence of the Abruzzese countryside. At 430 metres above sea level, the home was chosen for its wonderful cooling breeze, making it a comfortable place to live year-round.

The property is equipped with an Imhoff septic tank installation, and although it is not connected to the mains gas, it features a large underground gas tank conveniently located away from the house for central heating.   Central heating has been installed, but the radiators that have already been purchased are not yet fitted.  A modern electric heater heats water.  Facing Southeast, the property is perfect for solar panel installation.

The current owner, an international charcuterie trainer, has added a practical and unique touch  – a test kitchen and taverna designed for food workshops and classes, offering an appealing opportunity for anyone looking to continue or adapt this use.  The taverna area, situated next to the kitchen, has a chimney ready for a wood-burning stove and is 35 m². If you wanted to purchase the equipment or furniture in the house, there would be a separate cost.
There’s a strong sense of community in this peaceful rural setting. Maria, the next-door neighbour, is known for her warmth and reliability and keeps an eye on the property.
With far-reaching panoramic countryside views, especially from the top terrace, excellent road access, and proximity to Penne and Arsita, this property is ideal for those seeking quiet rural living with creative or hospitality ambitions in the foothills of Abruzzo but with easy access to the coast.  The sale is being made reluctantly due to the owner’s work commitments.
