Abbruzzo is the greenest area in Europe with stunning scenery and a huge variety of wildlife. Within the national park there are wolves and bears. Abruzzo has a thousand castles some perilously perched on cliff edges others forming the heart of a settlement. There are many ski resorts near to the house, catering for all abilities. The beaches of Pescara are within easy reach and there are lakes nearby. Sulmona is world famous for its production of confetti and has a great market. There are many villages and towns with fascinating local customs and delicacies, churches and museums to visit and natural wonders such as the waterfall at the San Venanzio gullies. On a practical level there are many shopping centres nearby for groceries and an abundance of bars and restaurants. Interesting local produce includes pottery, lace, jewellery and honey. During the summer there always seems to be a festa to celebrate something in one of the local villages - an experience not to be missed.
