Discover and experience the area

Did you know that in Abruzzo you can live by the sea year-round at Discover Tortoreto and reach the mountains in less than an hour, crossing gentle hills dotted with historic villages?
This land enchants with its extraordinary variety of landscapes, traditions, and a rich and authentic cultural heritage.

Feuerbach once wrote, "Man is what he eats," and this statement could not be truer, especially here in Abruzzo, where food and wine are the very soul of our culture. On a typical day, you can enjoy fresh fish for lunch while admiring the Adriatic Sea and savor a dinner of local cheeses, ancient grain bread, and extra virgin olive oil, symbols of a millennia-old tradition. The wine, like our famous Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and the oil date back to Roman times and represent our deepest identity.

The richness of landscapes and flavors is one of the distinguishing features of this region. There’s nothing more exciting than sipping a glass of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo on the hill of Tortoreto, gazing between the sea and the mountains. It’s an experience that touches the heart, a perfect encounter between nature and pleasure.

And for sports lovers? The opportunities are endless. You can swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea not just in summer or explore the many biking trails, discovering landscapes that change continuously. Then, in winter, you can ski with a sea view on our welcoming mountains filled with breathtaking routes. In autumn, the foliage is magical and invites refreshing walks.

I’ve had the fortune of traveling a lot in my life, but no place compares to Abruzzo in authenticity and diversity. This land offers something special to every traveler.
