Join Chef Ezio on a 5 or 8-day adventure exploring Abruzzo’s rich mountain & coastal landscapes whilst sampling eclectic delicious food, DOP wine & cooking traditions across this little-known region’s 4 provinces.
Each day you can revel in the beauty of Italy’s best-kept secret, Abruzzo, whose lush Apennine Mountains and national parks are home to bears, wolves and lynx. Its rolling hills boast some of Italy’s most beautiful hill towns as well as award-winning vineyards, its Adriatic coastline plenty of Blue Flag beaches and a marine park.
Our all-inclusive Ciao Abruzzo tours are recommended by CNN Travel! Our luxury base is stunning, a restored Benedictine monastery in the heart of beautiful Sulmona, where George Clooney stayed whilst filming The American.
You’ll be hosted in Sulmona’s finest boutique B&B and local Chef Ezio and friends, all fluent English speakers will provide plenty of relaxed adventures for up to 10 people.
Italy’s Abruzzo region is perhaps its most diverse and local cooks will reveal over intimate Italian cooking workshops an insight into local recipes that reflect their pastoral and cucina povera heritage ready for you to try at home.
Each weekday you will take a fun excursion that combines food with a cultural insight to magical Abruzzo where Central Italy meets the South and the mountains meet the sea.
Highlights include the Trabocchi on the Adriatic sea and hunting truffles with the dog in Roccascalegna, then eating the delicious pasta made with the fresh truffles. I’m now planning my next visit during the summer of 2017 to include my daughter and son-in-law. I’ve also impressed a number of friends with some of the dishes I’ve learned to make.”
