Abruzzo
Italy is full of treasures to be uncovered, and the Abruzzo region is definitely one of its best-kept secret. Travellers don’t know what they have missed, until they come and experience Abruzzo, at a just 1h drive from the eternal city of Rome (yes one hour!).
Benvenuti in Abruzzo, where the 130 km of the Adriatic coast overlook the majestic Gran Sasso and Majella mountains. Just at few kilometers away from the sea we step into the real mountains. The mountains of the Parks, natural reserves, where nature offers extraordinary encounter with bears, wolves, chamois and golden eagles to mention few. Water springs, narrow valleys and ancient hamlets, sweet hills and graceful sunsets. You are in Abruzzo!
Don’t miss the incredibles sunrises on the sea and sunsets on the Apennines. Sandy golden beaches, cliffs, rocky creeks and occasional encounters with dolphins are waiting for you. Wherever you step in this land, there is history, nature, culture and amazing food awaiting to be uncovered.
