The stays in Abruzzo allow the tourists to enjoy the sea, the mountain, the art, the history and the traditions of the region. An uncontaminated land, unique in Italy for its variety of fauna and flora, which are protected in the three national parks, regional parks and many natural reserves (Abruzzo is referred to as the "Regione Verde d'Europa", the green region of Europe).

Places to know and visit
"Pescara vecchia", between corso Manthonè and Via delle Caserme, is the main core of the city during every season. Walking in these streets, full of typical restaurants and clubs open until late night, the Museo Casa Natale G. d'Annunzio can be found. Records of the poet's life and art are collected there. There is also the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo, which contains a great part of historcal documents and local traditions from the origins to the 1950s. In the modern center of Pescara, near the famous Piazza Salotto, Villa Urania - Antiche Maioliche di Castelli is located. It is a museum in a nineteenth-century villa, where one of the most important  (in the entire world) collections of Castelli's artistic pottery is exhibited.

Città Sant'Angelo, is 11 kilometres far from the hotel. Here it is possible to admire the Collegiata di San Michele, dated back to the twelfth century, the curch of S. Chiara and the church of S. Francesco. 20 kilometres from here there is Atri, full of artistic buildings: Palazzo Acquaviva, the Teatro Comunale, the church of S. Agostino, the Fontana Canale of the fourteenth century and le Grotte, a system of interconnected caverns.

Chiest is located on a hill that divides the waters of the Pescara river and the waters of the Alento basin. It also divides the Gran Sasso and the Maiella from the Adriatic plains, offering a great variety on unique landscapes. It is one of the most ancient cities in Italy and it has mythical origins. The Museo nazionale Archeologico in Chieti collects the traces of the most important steps in the archeological history of Abruzzo, like the statue of the Guerriro di Capestrano (VI century B.C.), while the Museo della Civitella preserves evidences from the paleolithic and neolithic age.

Vasto rises on a hill that slowly slopes down to the sea. It is full of history: remainings of villas from the Augustus age and traces of medieval establishments; the Castello Caldoresco built during the first half of the fifteenth century; the Palazzo d'Avolos, located in Piazza Prudente and built on the ruins of a fourteenth-century structure, from which it inherited many decorative details. On the coast, the "Trabocchi" can be admired, typical wooden structures used for fishing in ancient times.

The Isole Tremiti. The archipelago consists of three islands: San Dominio, San Nicola and Caprara. The sea is crystal clear and its bottom is rocky, which makes it an ideal spot for cuba divers. Here, tourists can rent rafts and boats to discover the numerous typical caves and inlets.

Inside the oasis it is possible to visit the Masseria dell'Oasi, where biological farming is practised, and the Laboratorio dell'Oasi, where clients of all ages can perform typical local activities, such as wood and ceramic production.
