Win Your Own Italian House
Bugnara, Italy
Competition Now Closed
I have so enjoyed having many friends and family come to stay, all of whom have fallen in love with this part of Italy. For all of us that live here in Abruzzo, we say that it is Italy’s best kept secret.
Read on to see more about my house and the surrounding area. The competition is open for 12 months starting 1 September 2020, from midday GMT+2.
There are several opportunities for this property:
- You could keep the house as it is for family and friends.
- Divide the house into three separate apartments. The ground floor is already set up for this. The top and middle floor could very easily be divided by a wall. I had this priced a couple of years ago and it was approximately E450. One of the larger bedrooms on the top floor already has the fittings for a kitchen, including gas and electricity for a stove. This room is large enough for a dining table plus lounge and TV area.
- You could either rent them out individually or make a B&B or AirB&B. There is excellent rental potential for both summer and winter as we’re only 1⁄2 hour from some of the best ski resorts.
- You could live in one and rent out the other two for income.
Bugnara, and area
In 2007 it was listed as being one of the most beautiful villages throughout Italy. Bugnara is only 1 ½ hours drive directly east of Rome and about 50 minutes from the east coast beaches and there are some of the best ski resorts within ½ hour drive.
We are approximately 8 minutes from the larger historic town on Sulmona which has wonderful markets on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Fruit and veg, sweets, cheese’s, salami’s, fish and pork vans. Clothes, shoes and handbags and many other interesting stalls to wander around.
