From rolling vineyards to medieval towns and ancient cobbled streets, here are the main reasons to visit Abruzzo on your next trip to Italy.
Castello Di Semivicoli
Transport yourself back in time by staying at Castello di Semivicoli, a 17th-century castle where you’ll receive royal treatment. From its olive press to antique furniture and its sprawling vineyards mountain range, this regal fortress has been impeccably maintained to reflect its roots. It also happens to be an ideal wedding venue.
Scrumptious Food
This coastal city provides a unique palate of Mediterranean flavors, ranging from seafood and legumes to mutton. When you aren’t tucking into a juicy dish at one of the many local restaurants, consider visiting a sagre, a local fair, where you’ll be treated to fresh bread, artichokes, and other local delights.
Gran Sasso National Park
If you have an appreciation for nature and are seeking some tranquillity, then consider visiting Gran Sasso National Park. Here, you’ll be able to take some harmonious walks in nature, passing almond trees and olive groves as you inhale the fresh country air.
