Villa Istonia

The friendly owners gave us useful information, and the price felt fair for what we got. The room had a terrace with a sea view. It was spacious and clean, and so was the bathroom. The property in Cuppello is about a ten-minute drive from Vasto. There’s a coffee machine in the morning, though no breakfast service. Bars are a few minutes down the road toward Vasto, and street parking was easy to find.

The big garden is clear in the photo, and all the rooms are on the first floor. This is a family-run place managed by Fabio, who is very helpful. The rooms and bathrooms are spotless; every room has air conditioning, a refrigerator, a TV, and a balcony. There’s also a breakfast room. San Salvo and Vasto’s seafronts are about 10 km away, and both town centers are about 6 km away. It’s easy to reach and handy for nearby restaurants. Parking isn’t on the property, but the street is very quiet, and in four years of coming here, nothing has ever happened. The value is excellent and fair for the area.

I spent two nights here and found it handy for getting to various places. The owner was very kind, and the room was really clean. It was perhaps a little small, but fine for a two-day stay. I’d happily recommend the place and hope to come back.

The room was very clean and had a large balcony with a table and a lovely view. The villa is just steps from Cupello center, with easy street parking right beside it. The bathroom didn’t have a bidet, which we really needed. There are curtains rather than shutters, so the morning light comes in early. A coffee and cappuccino machine is available in the common area, but there’s no breakfast. Most bars are closed on Sundays, so I suggest Bar Madame. It’s a 15-minute drive to Marina di Vasto, and the price was fair compared with Vasto’s sky-high rates.
