Tucked between the Apennines and the Adriatic, Abruzzo is central Italy’s wild beauty—think medieval villages, ski slopes, and national parks galore. Whether you're chasing snow or sea views, you're in the right place. Our top hotel picks cover it all: sleek beach resorts in Pescara, cosy ski lodges in Roccaraso, and romantic farmhouse stays deep in the countryside. For luxury lovers, head to L’Aquila, while families will love the laid-back charm of coastal towns like Vasto.
Abruzzo is a region that really has it all — from the sun-soaked Adriatic coastline to peaceful lakes nestled within three stunning national parks, it's a paradise for nature lovers, hikers, and even skiers, with spots like Roccaraso and Campo Felice offering snowy escapes. Foodies and wine enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy too, with a local cuisine that ranges from fresh seafood to hearty mountain fare, all paired with excellent regional wines.
But Abruzzo isn't just about natural beauty and good food — its cultural and historical treasures are just as rich. Medieval towns like Rocca Calascio, Tagliacozzo, and Santo Stefano di Sessanio offer charm and history without the tourist crush of Tuscany, while cities like L’Aquila and Pescara provide a more vibrant, urban taste of the region. It’s the kind of place that quietly surprises you — and leaves you wanting more.
