Agli Archi Chieti: Fragrance-free house in central Chieti

A historic house renovated in a minimalist and pop art style, located in the heart of Chieti’s old town. The house dates back to the 19th century and spans multiple floors. On the first floor, there is a fully equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher, a gas stove with a range hood, a microwave, a coffee machine, a moka pot, an electric broom, and a dining table with chairs. Everything you need for cooking is provided, including cutlery and reusable bags for grocery shopping in the neighborhood.

The kitchen was handcrafted and custom-built using reclaimed materials.
On the second floor are the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and walk-in closet.
The bedroom is equipped with a double mattress, mattress topper, and pillows, all with dust-mite-proof covers to reduce the risk of allergies. There is a dresser, a mirror, nightstands with LED lamps, a spacious safe with a customizable numeric keypad that can hold a laptop, and a workspace with a small table and chair.

The bedroom also includes a house manual with house rules and instructions for using the home appliances, available in multiple languages to make your stay easier.
We provide 100% cotton bed linens and towels for the duration of your stay.
The living room features a sofa bed that converts into a 104 cm single bed, suitable for one adult or two children, and a single bed (90x200 cm).
The living room also includes a dresser, a mirror, and a small table.

From the living room, you can access the walk-in closet, which includes a clothes rack with hangers and shelves. There is also a luggage scale.
The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, bidet, sink, bathroom cabinet with an adjustable LED-lit mirror, and a hair dryer.
The house also features a cozy corner with books (including some in English) and board games for relaxing days at home.

On the first floor is the property’s laundry room. Since we maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene and follow a fragrance-free philosophy, we personally handle the washing of the linens.
Due to limited space—as this is an older home—we have made a washing machine available for guests to use during their stay, with detergents provided by the property. This room also includes a clothes drying rack and a vertical steam iron.

The home’s philosophy is reflected in the choices made: handcrafted furniture made from reclaimed materials; low-VOC renovation products; LED lighting throughout the house; A-class appliances; reduced energy waste; the use of natural, fragrance-free cleaning and hygiene products that respect both the environment and guests; dust-mite-proof covers for mattresses and pillows; 100% cotton bed linens and towels; independent heating with a condensing boiler; air conditioning in the bedroom and living room; an in-house laundry room with state-of-the-art appliances designed to reduce waste; and a strict no-smoking, no-vaping, and no-fragrance policy.


The house is a FRAGRANCE-FREE environment, designed to reduce the risk of sensitivity for people with asthma and allergies. Smoking, vaping, and the use of sprays, air fresheners, and scented candles are strictly prohibited.
To keep the environment free of fragrances, we provide all cleaning products for the house, as well as detergents for the dishwasher and washing machine. Scented products may not be used to avoid contaminating the appliances.
For your stay, we also provide a complimentary courtesy kit of fragrance-free personal care products.

All items provided in the house are to be considered a complimentary welcome kit, including toilet paper.
During their stay, guests are responsible for purchasing what they need, such as food and beverages, toilet paper, and any other necessities.
There is a grocery store near the house, and a supermarket less than one kilometer away.
The municipality has a waste separation program, so we have provided bins for sorting trash accordingly. We also provide a complimentary welcome kit with sponges and biodegradable bags for organic waste.

Several restaurants are located directly below the house. Just a short walk away is Corso Marruccino, the city’s main street, where you’ll find a Cialde&Co shop to buy coffee pods for the coffee machine (please ask for pods compatible with the Lavazza Espresso Point system).
Upon request and with prior authorization, one dog is allowed in the house (cats are not permitted). The dog may not be left alone in the house and is not allowed on sofas or beds. Any damage or additional cleaning required will be charged, as well as any damage to the property or furnishings.

Check-in and check-out must be done in person for key pickup and return. Upon arrival, guests must sign the short-term rental agreement, complete and sign the registration forms, and provide a copy of a valid ID (European ID card or passport) for each guest, including children and infants. Payment of the tourist tax is also required.
All administrative requirements are mandatory and comply with current regulations.

The house is located in a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone), as it is in the historic city center. For this reason, access through the city gate is restricted. ZTL hours: 2:00 PM–16:00 - 20:00 –7:00 AM
If the ZTL traffic light is red, access is closed. If the light is green, access is permitted, and you may briefly enter to unload luggage.
If the light is red, entry is strictly prohibited. Entering will result in a fine. Avoid the fine! Do not enter Porta Pescara if the light is red.
In that case, you must park on the surrounding streets.

Parking can be challenging, but the great advantage of the house is its location in the historic center, allowing you to reach all museums and the city’s main attractions on foot.

Our home is an ideal strategic base for exploring the beauty of Abruzzo: its lakes, mountains, and ski resorts where you can ski while overlooking the sea (for example, from the Majella), as well as castles, medieval villages, natural parks and marine reserves, fully equipped beaches, and the famous Costa dei Trabocchi.
Abruzzo uniquely combines the beauty of the sea, hills, and mountains in a compact area, with all destinations easily accessible in a short time.

Abruzzo is a mosaic of olive groves and vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see—a land where food and wine tours offer unforgettable experiences. You can discover local culinary excellence in every corner: from high-altitude cheeses and cured meats to fried seafood and traditional fish stew along the coast, as well as classic desserts such as parrozzo, sise delle monache, bocconotti, and the typical cagiunetti.

Our vacation home awaits you for a healthy stay, carefully designed to minimize allergens—thanks to a minimalist furnishing style with airy spaces and the complete absence of scented products indoors.
Immerse yourself in the slow rhythm of the city and discover the beauty of this still wild, genuine, and authentic region!
