Old town house in the mountains

A short distance from cross-country skiing, cycling, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 28-minute drive to Lago di Scanno or the 110-minute drive to Sulmona Introdacqua Station (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a sofa bed and a BBQ grill. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washing machine. Other amenities include bed sheets and an ironing board.
