With a diverse landscape , including the majestic peaks of the Gran Sasso group, the region has a beautiful coastline, with sandy beaches in the north and rocks and cliffs towards the south.

The geographical diversity is reflected in its cuisine. Abruzzo chefs have long been considered Italy’s best. In the XVI century, Prince Caracciolo inaugurated a school for cooks at Villa St. Maria.

Even today, these top flight chefs are sent all over the world, and every year in October, the Festival of the Cooks takes place in the village.

The region is famous for its wealth of castles and medieval towns, as well as its numerous national parks (Parco Nazionale della Majella, Parco Nazionale Sirente Velino, Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso and Parco Nazionale d’ Abruzzo).

Extending to over a third of the region’s territory, the parks are rich in woods, waterfalls, flora and fauna.
