We are now well into our Second season and we are very pleased to say that everyone has had a good time at Casa Rosa. Here are just a few of our guest comments:

Dear Dave and Jo we had a wonderful week in Casa Rosa, and the girls screamed with joy when they saw the roof terrace! Amtoft family, Denmark, July 2010

Casa Rosa is all that its charming owners claim and more. A village house recently restored but retaining its Abruzzo village character and tastefully modernised within, its provides all that is needed for the comfort of four people for even a protracted stay. To escape from the heat of an Abruzzo summer day and enter its cool rooms comes always as a very pleasant relief, and to breakfast on the roof terrace in the early morming sun ia a delightful experience. Our stay, alas was all too short! And a word about our hosts to whom we are much indebted, Joanna and David are friendly, charming and most helpful. Rodney & Valerie, Yorkshire, June 2010

We thoroughly enjoyed your house, thank you for providing everything we needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable holiday. Pat & Keith, Dorset, June 2010

Joanna we are in Bugnara now. LOVE the house. My husband has said your pictures are true to your word - it looks exactly like the photos. Roberta & Reef, U.S.A. May 2010

Wanted to say a huge thank you for the rental of your lovely holiday home! Ourselves and the kids had a really lovely holiday (I could easily have spent a 3rd week there!). We have completely and utterly fallen in love with Abruzzo. - The Ellse Family, Ireland. February 2010

We came back again! Thank you Jo & Dave who made the holiday so enjoyable again, see you next year! The Thomas Family, Gower, South Wales. October 2009

We had a great 2 weeks in Casa Rosa, we loved the house and the village and the area. - The Monks Family, Leicestershire, August 2009.

We have just spent three memorable weeks at Casa Rosa. We can certainly recommend this house and its location in Bugnara. It is a fascinating village, where locals and neighbours are particularly friendly. Shops are good and supermarkets in Sulmona excellent, with easy parking everywhere.This was a very different sort of holiday for us, but it went smoothly due to the owners, who made the whole venture so easy to arrange. The Angelo di Commune Bar/ restaurant next to the Police station is exceptionally good for arrosticini and the staff became good friends. In fact Tonino the owner asked us to come again. There was always something going on within Bugnara so one could never say it was quiet or dull (in July and August anyway). We travelled extensively during the three weeks in all directions. I had not visited Rome or the Adriatic for nearly forty years so that was definitely on the agenda. Finally the location can be recommended due to the outstanding scenery all around. I would certainly like to visit again, at least to see snow on the Maiella. - Rowanne and Martin Lewis, Llandybie, Carmarthenshire. July & August 2009

Having spent a fortnight in Casa Rosa in June/July 2009 - we can highly recommend it. The house itself is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Bugnara is a pretty little village with small shops, bars and an excellent restaurant. It is ideally situated for visiting the Abruzzes - the beautiful nearby town of Sulmona full of atmospehere and life, the innumerable picturesque medieval villages and the National Parks. - Cathy & Maxime, Paris, July 2009.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday staying at Casa Rosa in Bugnara. A lovely house, well modernised and kitted out, right in the centre of the village with a fantastic roof terrace and views. Surrounded by mountains and all facilities to hand, including post office, bars and alimentari - Mr & Mrs Robinson, Oxfordshire. June 2009

Lovely area, great house, we've had a fantastic time and look forward to coming back in October! Thank you - Mr Thomas, Gower, South Wales. May 2009

We've all had a fantastic time. Great house, great area, we especially liked Sulmona and the National Parks. Thanks for everything. - The Mount Family, Herefordshire. Christmas 2009
