Ancient Stone 'Casa Rosa'- Sea and Mountain View Tranquil Borgo

What a fine choice you make choosing a hilltop city in Molise for your vacation! Not just because Tavenna has a wonderful position relative to conveniently exploring Molise, but also because when the day is done, and you've seen the sights, you come home to the kind of place many people do not ever get to experience. A place that is small, but thinks big. A place where most everybody knows one another, but will still greet you if they do not. A place where antiquity is revered and preserved, and where simple conveniences feel indulgent. As new homeowners in Molise (2019) we are thrilled daily, to explore and discover the beautiful gem of a region, that is Molise. And like anything we have a passion for in life, sharing becomes a part of the joy. Tavenna became our destiny, not just our destination when we were searching for a home, and in a way, we feel like we are hosting the city along with Casa Rosa because every aspect is so intrinsically woven. As native New Yorkers with immigrant relatives, we embrace the family values, traditions, and way of life of the people in Tavenna; to us, it feels a bit like a window to how our families may have lived in Italy years ago, and we regret that some of those practices were lost over time. We desire to live with splendor, marvel at the amazing unspoiled nature, eat the spectacular food, and drink the fabulous and distinctive wines of Molise, then meet our guests and pass on the secrets of our amazing great fortune!

We offer guests a quaint, authentic, and tranquil Molisan stay. Tavenna is a neighborhood for people who want to explore Molise by day and evening; you can visit ancient cities and sights, beaches, hiking, restaurants, and more within a short drive, and then return 'home', with warm neighbors, and quiet streets. A fully rounded and immersive experience can be realized, and at the heart of it is Casa Rosa, your home base! The home has been renovated and designed mindfully to preserve its character. Barrel vaulted ceilings, brick and cotto floors, and even mid-last-century graffiti, reveal hints of its past! We have prepared for your comfort with pleasing hues, contemporary amenities, and an artful attention to detail. Newly Installed air-conditioning for hot summers, and heat to stay warm on a winter retreat, make Casa Rosa stand out in its class. -Fresh cheese, fruit & vegetable, and fish vendors 2-3 weekly -Butcher, baker, market (2), bar/caffe -Breathtaking sea& mountain vistas -Explore & dine, beach, or sight-see in cities just minutes away -25min drive to Adriatic sea

Tavenna is a hilltop city comprised mainly of stone structures. In name, Tavenna traces back in History over a thousand years. It is an amazing place to witness modern living in an ancient setting; it is a place that has been watched over and respected by its people. Tavennesi people are warm and inviting, and it is a great privilege (when a B & B is located in a village such as this) to be able to share and enjoy the city daily, in a way that families have for generations. The city is an enchanting place to wander and enjoy old structures with unique brick and plasterwork, centuries-old ironwork on windows and balconies, and narrow alleys that stir images of lifetimes of activity. Two lovely markets, a butcher and a baker, as well as mobile food and household goods vendors to keep you well-supplied if you have a get-away of tranquil seclusion in mind, or a short drive to a few of the nearby cities, (which feel like they are autonomous and in concert with each other at the same time), will have you luxuriating in the untouched natural magnificence of Molise while dining or shopping.
