Abruzzo, often referred to as the "green heart of Italy," is a region brimming with breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. Nestled between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, Abruzzo offers a diverse array of experiences that will captivate any traveler. Vacationing in this “best-kept” secret region filled with medieval villages with their own culinary traditions, stunning views and unique authenticity is a true discovery. We’ll stay at the beautiful Hotel Ovidius in Sulmona. Steeped in history, Sulmona was founded in 1000 BC and for more than 2,000 years the town has produced the famous sugar-coated almonds, otherwise known as "confetti". The wide expanse of Piazza Garibaldi in the town center is surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. Our tours from Sulmona will take us to beautiful villages with cobblestone streets full of history, picturesque hamlets surrounded by green mountains and lakes, a confetti factory, a Pasticceria to taste the typical sweets “pan dell’orso,” an alpine village, a castle and lunch at an organic farmhouse.
