Now you can book your Abruzzo rental villa online and browse the Villasfor2 website, which’ll show you where we are – and how you can plan and book your Abruzzo holiday !

I have to admit that Monday was pretty exciting. We’ve been working on launching the full Villasfor2 website for the past couple of months and Monday was the day that it all came good.

Langhe Nebbiolo. DGL Terre. 2006

Nebbiolo is the grape variety behind Barolo – perhaps the king of Italian wines. To enjoy a fine, old Barolo is one of wine’s cosmic experiences both in taste – and price.

We’ve found an Abruzzo property where we’d like to live and run our ‘Villasfor2′ holidays for couples business – but we haven’t actually bought it yet. Now what ?
