One of the great food experiences in all of Abruzzo. Local ingredients with clever, unique touches that make this more than a meal but a real culinary experience. Open only for dinner and you must make reservations so they can plan ahead.

Book on Trip Advisor in advance to guarantee reservation and get a discount on your meal! Great river crayfish from the local Tirino river (gambero di fiume) and pork chops (braciole di maiale). As the name suggests is right next to the Piccolimini Castle in Capestrano.

Drive slowly, open the windows, stop frequently and take a nice walk. Also, if you like horses it is a great experience to go riding near the Ristoro Giuliani in summer. Gentle horses and kind owners. Changes with every season.

Scenic drive to this great village set at 1,350 metres on the way to the Campo Imperatore. Can make a circuit to Santo Stefano. Bar Ristorante Lupo is good. A George Clooney film called 'The American' was set here for much of the movie.

Great in any season. Spectacular caves with underground waterfalls. Cool in summer, warm in winter and a good place to visit if it is raining outside.

Definitely do a guided walk of the monastery and Oratorio di San Pellegrino. The 800 year old painted frescoes are astoundingly beautiful and interesting. Also walk to the top to Bominaco castle for a 360 view.

2 Hours by car from Ofena! We often fly into or out of Rome at the beginning or end of a visit to Abruzzo. Most car rental companies will rent one-way between Rome and Pescara or vice versa for little or no fee.

Beach

Pineto Beach north of Pescara. Park along the road next to the railway in the shade and walk across. Look for the Torre di Cerrano rising up from the beach.

Nice beaches, good restaurants by the sea and nightlife for something more lively than the mountains.
