Hobbies and Interests
I love animals and travels. I have many interests: cooking, going to the cinema (in winter), reading, and going out with friends for pizzas.

Excursions and Local Attractions
National Park of Abruzzo, Majella N.P; cities, towns, and villages in the region such as Chieti (where it is worth visiting the National Museum of Antiquities and the remains of Ancient Roman baths and thermal rooms). Pescara (one of the most important cities of the region, a beautiful city along the shores of the Adriatic sea). I can drive the student/s to L'Aquila (the capital of my region, with its important heritage of art and culture); Teramo (whose ancient name means "between the rivers") or even Rome. During summer months-July and August- student/s can also have the possibility of staying in a modern, well-furnished apartment on the beach (30 metres from the sea), located in Francavilla Al Mare, on the Adriatic coast, close to the city of Pescara.

Accommodation, Facilities and Local Area
Very nice bedroom with single bed or twin beds. It benefits from air conditioning and independent heating systems. There is a balcony and a wonderful parquet on the floor. The student's room has a private bathroom, TV, Hi-Fi, desk & lamp, wardrobe/closet.

A villa in the centre of a small town close to the Majella National Park and halfway from the mountains and the sea. It is only 20 minutes by car from Pescara (a lively and interesting city) and its airport. My house has a big garden with lots of plants and trees. It is on two levels; there are an entrance, a living room, a dining room, 2 kitchens 6 bedrooms (each one with its bathroom) and a long balcony. Outside the living room, there is a long porch where we have lunch and dinner in the summer.
