On July 1st, 2015, we left the Netherlands to move to Abruzzo, in the heart of Italy. We are Tieno Bouman and Jet Verberne, originally from Brabant (Tieno from Waalwijk and Jet from Someren).
After many vacations in Italy, we discovered that Abruzzo made us feel at home. Initially, we found a lovely apartment where we spent our holidays immersed in local life. Later on, we decided to look for a house where we could live and work, and we found it in Cologna Paese, in the municipality of Roseto degli Abruzzi, province of Teramo. Our house is called Casa Cologna.
Our refuge offers a spectacular view of mountains and sea. Every day, we enjoy the peace and space that surround us. The vast landscape, the mountains, and the healthy air are a daily gift for us. After a year of intense construction and renovation work, in the summer of 2016, the apartments, bar, and pool were ready.
We love welcoming guests and introducing them to the enchanting and less touristy Abruzzo. We often explore new destinations to suggest interesting excursions. The non-touristy aspect is what we love most about this part of Italy. Here, we experience the authenticity of daily life. We pay attention to the needs of our guests, offering tranquility and space with hammocks, books, magazines, and board games, guided walks and bike rides, visits to wineries, pizza workshops, and plenty of information about the area.
We have two adorable dogs, Milo and Bari, adopted from an Italian shelter at about one month old. At three months (January 2016), they came to live with us. Milo and Bari have their own corner in the garden, and often guests, especially children, love taking them for walks around, with a walk to the big oak tree as a favorite.
There are also two ginger cats, Robi (red and white) and Turo (all red). Robi is reserved and doesn't show himself to guests, while Turo is very curious and loves to be noticed. For guests who don't like cats, we have a simple water sprayer to keep them at a distance. Additionally, we have three chickens that give us fresh eggs every day: Kentucky, Nugget, and Wing.
