Abruzzo Accommodation & Holiday Homes Abruzzo
Located in central, eastern part of Italy, scenic Abruzzo does a splendid job of combining two extremes: rugged snowcapped mountain peaks and powdery sand beaches where sun-worshipers soak for hours. In between these two is a series of dramatic mountain foothills that enclose and hide undiscovered villages and virtually untouched gems of the local Italian culture. Indeed, Abruzzo is one of the least tainted, most-authentic living monuments to Italy’s vibrant past. A holiday rental Abruzzo is an excellent way to get a feel for this fascinating culture.The Gran Sasso National Park is home to the Corno Grande, a giant stone precipice jutting sharply past the cloud line. It makes for a stern challenge among those who love day hikes, yet despite the energetic force necessary to conquer this mountain, its picturesque grandeur is hard to resist. The Corno Grande is the highest peak in the Italian Apennines mountain range, and holds Europe’s southernmost glacier, Calderone. Book a holiday villa Abruzzo in the foothills and take in the sight of its magnificent peak in the morning light.
In the wintertime, travellers flock to Abruzzo’s nearly two-dozen ski resorts and fill the area's ski rental cabins. Favorites include Campo Felice, Roccaraso, and Campo Imperatore. As the snow melts, spring, summer and fall activities include horseback riding (and, again, hiking) on the extensive series of well-kept trails carved throughout the Abruzzo’s pristine national parks.
One of the most breathtaking of Abruzzo’s hidden villages is Sulmona, which offers majestic views of Majella Mountain amidst roadways bursting with wildflowers and ancient medieval historical sites.

Moving on down to the coast, resort town Silvi Marina is home to what many agree is the most beautiful beach in Italy – arguably on the entire Adriatic Sea. Breathtaking views of the coast of former Yugoslavia arise from deep Mediterranean blue waters as the sun beats down with a loving, Italian passion. Fortunately, this destination wasn’t discovered overnight in the 1970’s; it has a graceful resort town past which has kept it charming for over a century. There are plenty of holiday apartment rental flats Abruzzo and holiday homes Abruzzo, and, apart from the beach, a number of historical attractions.
