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 rivalling 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.


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 30 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.


How to get there

Getting there is straight forward, if you're coming direct you can either fly to Pescara or one of Rome's 2 airports. EasyJet, RyanAir & 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 geat deal, however, EasyCar, Atlas Choice and the travelsupermarket provide a good service at a reasonable price. See our website for further informaton 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.
