Abruzzo 2026 Calendar of Events

Paolo guided us on a wonderful hike, archeological site tour, and chese making experience. We learned quite a lot about the history of the area. The cheese making was a lot of fun and it was very rewarding to have made our own cheese! The included lunch was also incredible and the best meal we had in the country. I would very much recommend this experience.

Great e-bike experience with the expert guide, Luca, who took us to places with ancestral charm. To be repeated.

Beautiful private tour. Wonderful local guide who shares his love for the region. The e-bikes made for easy climbs up the hills. Definitely the highlight of our time in Abruzzo.

It was wonderful! Beautiful grounds and lots of spaces to choose for your picnic. The food sampling was plentiful and delicious.

The guided tour allowed us to learn about the history of the city, to see details that we would have missed, and to get recommendations on places to visit in the area and nearby. The guide was passionate, precise, and available to answer our questions. Time flew by!

"I participated in the cooking experience on July 17 and I recommend it to anyone. Luisa and her husband are a fantastic couple, passionate and very knowledgeable. The dishes prepared together were delicious and the organization was impeccable. Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful welcome!"

I was here with my family and the atmosphere was always very quiet, we enjoyed some live music and we ate very well and abundantly, almost to the point of not finishing what was in the basket. Very unique and good wines, all produced on the property. The organization of the place was very high and well-cared-for, they even have entirely gluten-free baskets. In conclusion, an experience to repeat, I recommend coming especially during special events.

It was a great experience! We were a group of 6 who lived in Silvi for a week and wanted an experience that would really give us that intimate, italian crafmanship- vibe, and this tour really gave us that experience! In the beginning it was a bit difficult to find the correct location since google maps puts the location too far away from the entrance, but our Italian taxi chauffour could help us find the right place after I came in contact with the tourguide.Then after we arrived the guide, who is also the ower of the winery ttok us to the testing. Unfortunately we didnt get a tour of the wineyard as it wasnt in bloom just yet (we were ther in the beginning of june). However we added the tasting menu to the drinks and it really elevated the experience! Everyone love testing the wines and listening to the guide explain how they make the wines and whats interesting and different about them. We all had a great time and bought some bottles to bring us home!Since our visit was of high-tourist-season it was also only us (6) during the testing, which felt really personal and exclusive :)Would really recomment this wine tasting in abruzzo!

We took this tour with Domenico and loved it! Because we are older, 75 and 69, we opted for Positano first... it has alot of steps. Such a beautiful place. Then we had a very relaxed lunch in Ravelo, which is quite different. Dominican didn't make us feel rushed and he knew the best spots for stopping to see the views. A must do.

The beauty of mountains and organic cuisine within a backdrop of historical connections and great company were second to none!

This was a 5 star experience. We felt like we were with friends and family. The food was amazing.

Great experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide who made us discover the city and its history in a very pleasant way.

It was a fun and beautiful tour. The scenery of the coast was spectacular. Our driver Domenico was excellent and knowledgeable about his hometown. Though the route was very windy he drove safely and confidently. Thank you Domenico for making our visit memorable!

I attended the course of basic drawing, landscape watercolor and urban planning. I can say that Colleen's professionalism and passion is unparalleled, she makes the environment really welcoming, transmits her knowledge in a precise and clear way making available many artistic inputs to work well taking into account everyone's needs. Thanks to his courses, art really becomes a discovery, even for those who already had basic knowledge. It creates moments of fun, creativity and sharing. Daedalus is a guarantee. Super recommended to ALL!!!!

Our family of four spent 6 days with Marino Cardelli of "Experience Bella Vita". It was our first visit to Italy and we went to Sulmona, the town where my husband's grandparents had lived. We choose Marino because he offered personalized tours as well as genealogy research. It was an amazing trip that included seeing the house where my husband's grandmother was born, viewing their birth registrations from 1890, and meeting distant relatives. Marino did the genealogy research and then by sharing his knowledge and love of Abruzzo, he helped our understanding of the history and culture of this region. We went truffle hunting, did olive oil tasting, and visited nearby medieval towns, as well as visiting the Gran Sasso national park and the trabocchi coast. We were able to do and see things that would not have been possible for us without Marino's deep knowledge of the area. Marino is an excellent communicator. He did several video calls with us to gather and share information prior to the trip, and he had wonderful recommendations for where to stay and eat in Sulmona. The meals we had in Abruzzo were some of the best I've ever had (including the truffle meal with his uncle's family). It was a long-held dream of my husband to see where his grandparents had lived and we are so grateful for Marino's help in making this dream come true.

Cozy place,really liked it, toured the old winery, the white wine was very tasty, I recommend it. Perfect place to have a picnic
