The Marche / Abruzzo / Abruzzo region

Abruzzo is known for the Gran Sasso and Maiella National Parks, the largest protected area in the whole of Europe. It has a great deal to offer the holiday maker; you will find the highest peaks of the Apennines, the Gran Sasso (Monte Corno 9,560 feet), Maiella and Velino-Sirente, perfect for walking, climbing, cycling and kayaking. Its landscape of mountains, deep canyons and valleys offer a natural beauty rivaling any other region. The Abruzzo coastline has wide, sandy shores, high, jagged cliffs, narrow creeks, pebble beaches and in some places it is positively wild. With something to suit all tastes, traditional villages and historic towns, an astonishing wealth of art and culture, regional gastronomy, Abruzzo is said to be the last undiscovered region of Italy.

The Sulmona / Vallecorvo area

The town of Sulmona is situated in the centre of the Peligna Valley at the foot of the Maiella mountain range. The birth place of the great poet Ovid, Sulmona preserves its heritage of monuments, architecture and works of art. Today the town is also an important agriculture and commercial centre and is famous the world over for its confetti (sugar coated almond candies), and for its goldsmiths. The town offers a wide range of shops, boutiques and restaurants.There are also excellent sports facilities including tennis courts, a swimming pool and horse riding. About 10 mins outside Sulmona is an excellent waterpark with shaded picnic area, ideal for a day out. Lake Scanno is just a 20 minute drive, while the winter resort town of Roccaraso, central Italy's largest winter resort with snow and pistes open from November to April, is just 40 mins away.

RESTAURANTS
There are too many fantastic restaurants in Sulmona and the local area to list, here are a few of our favourites:

OSTERIA DEL TEMPO PERSO (Pizzeria - Restaurant)
Vico del Vecchio, 7. Tel 0864 52545. Fantastic food in a fantastic setting and all at very reasonable prices. Worth booking a table as it can get very busy.

Getting there is straight forward, if you're coming direct you can either fly to Pescara or one of Rome's 2 airports. EasyJet, Ryan Air & Jet2 all provide cheap flights to Italy, Pescara airport being around 40 mins from the apartment and the airports at Rome being 2 and 2 1/2 hours away.

To get out & about and explore the region fully, it's best to have use of a car. Hire prices vary a great deal, however, EasyCar, Atlas Choice and Travel Supermarket & Sicily by Car provide a good service at a reasonable price. See our website for further information and links on flights and car hire.

If you decide to take the train, we recommend the early train from Termini station in Rome. The route winds through the hills separating Lazio from Abruzzo before descending spectacularly into the 'Conca Peligna' where Sulmona is located.

“Nice apartment in a fantastic region, and great value” A great region to visit with lakes and mountains all within very close reach and the coast is about 1.5 hours away. The local town Sulmona has great character and Roman architecture along weith some good restaurants and fantastic ice cream shops on the main street to entain the family during the evening promonade. Local lakes are good for swimming but local pools are ok for leisure swimming only but not for anything more. You need a car in this region for dialy life and to see the sights. The apartment is very nice and has been well thought through and has decent sized and comfortable beds.

“Home away from Home” A holiday which I will never forget. It was great, relaxing and it was very comfortable to be around the owners and share conversations together as if we had known them all our lives. I highly... more

“Home from home in a beautiful location” Lovely apartment with all the home comforts - nice shower, well equipped kitchen, outside eating / relaxing area, books and dvds if you fancy a night in. The owners live next door and couldn't be more helpful - spent a pleasant couple of evenings chatting over a glass or 2 of wine! The area is beautiful - lovely to be away from the traditional tourist trap - with a couple of lovely pools near by if you fancy a day away from exploring the scenic towns and mountains. A visit to Lake Scanno is well worth it too! Response: Thank you, we hope to see you in Abruzzo again one day
