Majella Tours of Italy Curated Small Group Tours of Undiscovered Abruzzo, Italy It is my father’s homeland and the place that I love most in the world.
(3)

Majella Tours leads food, culture and nature focused small group tours of the central Italian region of Abruzzo. For travelers who wish to experience an Italy beyond the tour buses, Engish-translated menus and hordes of crowds, Abruzzo is an undiscovered slice of heaven. Join Michelle DiBenedetto-Capobianco on an unforgettable journey through time into an Italy you thought no longer existed. Abruz

zo is the region of national parks, “la terra di mare e monti”, where you can get from the sea to the mountaintop in an hour’s time. It’s the unexplored last frontier of Italy where you hike through rugged mountains and valleys only to stumble upon medieval villages and hidden hermitages carved into stone. Abruzzo’s cuisine is rustic and pure – you can literally taste the land’s aura in its cheese, salumi, lamb and ancient legumes and grains. It is a region with a proud pastoral tradition that has seen hardship and poverty due to wars and an isolated geographic position, but whose people have emerged with an indomitable spirit of survival and loyalty to their territory.

With one-third of the region designated as national park land, Abruzzo is wild and untouched. It's a place to feel free - to stand in an open grassy plain dotted with wildflowers in the shadow of a majestic mountain and simply breathe the crisp, clean air. From heart-shaped Lago di Scanno to Rocca C...

Back home after two weeks of tours in Abruzzo! Feeling blessed and grateful for my friendships and collaborations with so many wonderful people eager to share their beloved region with others. Yes, Abruzzo’s mountains are majestic, its coastline is sparkling, its villages and towns are rich with tradition and its food and wine are honest and pure, but it is the people - “forte e gentile” - strong and kind - who inspire and capivate their guests. Grazie di cuore amici ❤️

To know Marisa Pietrantica is to ❤️ her. My tour guests spent a beautiful afternoon in the tiny hamlet of Decontra yesterday, enjoying arresting views of the Maiella mountain and savoring Marisa’s effervescent warmth and sublime farm-to-table cooking.

In September, I’m leading a fantastic Food + Nature Tour and we’ll unplug & relax at our home base with Marisa - email [email protected] for details
