Nature reserve · Lecceta di Torino di Sangro

Where the forest looks out to sea

Abruzzo's only coastal forest: centuries-old holm oaks down to the cliff, quiet trails and clearings of myrtle and broom. A pocket of untouched Mediterranean landscape, just steps from the beach.

Medieval town · 350 metres above the sea
A town looking out over the Adriatic

Stone alleys, noble palazzi and a square that reveals the Tremiti Islands on clear days. Three thousand residents, a thousand years of history and a view worth the journey on its own.

Blue Flag · Le Morge and Costa Verde
Sand, pebbles and clear water

Two kilometres of Blue Flag coastline, with broom, reed beds and dunes. The wildest stretch of the Trabocchi Coast, where Mediterranean scrub reaches the waterline.

Trabocchi Coast · Trabocco di Punta Le Morge
Wooden cathedrals suspended above the water

Ancient fishing platforms reaching out into the sea, still worked much as they were a century ago. At sunset they become theatres of light, dining rooms over the Adriatic and silences you can hear.

When evening falls
The sky turns peach and ochre

Sunset walks on the empty shoreline, summer bonfires, the smell of salt mixing with pine. Torino di Sangro at its most Adriatic: the hour that makes you stay one day longer.

Abruzzo is an immense treasure still waiting to be discovered. When I come home there is always a new place to visit, with rare beauty in the emotion of encountering the resources of a land that has not abandoned its traditions.
