Abruzzo panoramic views will leave you breathless and capitivated for a long time, Abruzzo wines will amaze you with their body, Abruzzo food will surprise you with its bold flavors, Abruzzo extra virgin olive oil will impress you for its sweetness and smoothness. Abruzzo lies in south-central Italy on the eastern coast just beneath the gentle outward curve that is Le Marche. Its western border is
less than 50 miles from the capital of Italy. One-third of the region is made up of national parks, it’s incredibly mountainous, and it is home to some of the country’s best-preserved medieval and Renaissance hill towns. Because Abruzzo has no big cities or major monuments it is untouched and undiscovered for most tourists, these picturesque hill towns remain mostly unseen by non-Italians
The region is popular for its hiking, rock climbing, and horseback riding in the summer, and its skiing in the winter (135km of skiing slopes). In fact, with Abruzzo being so close to Rome it’s not uncommon for the capital’s residents to take day trips or long weekends into the Abruzzo parks for a break from city life. Abruzzo is also known for its beaches of 140km, it's the only region that has beaches and mountains an hour from each other. So you can have a swim in the morning and in the afternoon you can go to the Mountains for some more outdoors fun.
