Ours is such a unique region in Italy and in homage to this fact, Domenico has rounded up his favorite ‘Only in Abruzzo’ experiences. 1. Zip-Line through a huge gorge in the Majella National Park in full view of “one of the world's most beautiful villages in Italy - Pacentro”.
2. Explore nature and beautiful landscapes while hiking the wild canyons of Monte Morrone – the sacred mountain of the hermitage of Celestine V – the mountain enchanted by legends of fairies and witches. 3. Watch the sunset, feel the sea breeze and dine on a seafood feast in a traditional fisherman’s trabocchi on the Adriatic Sea. 4. Do sundowners in the Castel De Sanctis castle overlooking Roccacasale and the Peligna Valley. 5. Marvel at the Roman ruins in the town of Corfinio (the first capital of Italy) and browse its museum where you can see the first coin minted with the word Italia on it. 6. Dine at a traditional shepherd’s table – with true farm to table service. 7. Kayak or canoe on the crystal clear waters of the Tirino River then stop for a fresh grilled trout lunch. 8. Hunt for Truffles with the dogs as they joyfully run around in an oak tree grove sniffing for their precious treat. Guest testimonial: "Margaret emailed us beforehand to see what we were interested in, coming up with a suggested but flexible itinerary for everyone - much appreciated. We enjoyed intriguing castles, churches and unspoilt villages in the mountains, kayaking, paddle boating, swimming in the river/local pool, picnicking, festivals, winery, sugared almond factory, markets, relaxing and of course eating, drinking and talking - we quickly learnt that wherever we went, someone would stop and chat with Margaret or Domenico. But the highlight had to be meeting their family and friends and cooking with them (and my hubby getting down and dirty with an apron in the kitchen - a sight never before seen)."
