Discovering Abruzzo: A Humble and Mysterious Land, Perfect for Your Open-Air Holiday

An Open-Air Treasure

A long and even Adriatic coastline, four provinces, majestic Apennine mountains, and vast protected nature areas. A mountainous, forested region rich in plant and animal life. A dreamlike sea that becomes ever clearer the further south you go. An ancestral land, still walked and worked by those who cultivate it. Humble, like its people, and perfect for your next open-air holiday.

Between one national park and another lies Don Antonio Camping Village, just a few meters from one of the widest sandy beaches on the Abruzzo Adriatic coast. Whether you're traveling with family, as a couple, or with friends, it’s the ideal place for any type of stay. Sports lovers will find their happy place in the surrounding area. Nature here is lush and perfectly suited for running, cycling, or simply enjoying a sunset behind the mountains, lost in thought about what’s to come. Its comfortable accommodations make it one of the best seaside resorts in Abruzzo for families with children of all ages.

L’Aquila and Pescara

Not far away, still on the coast, you’ll find Stork Family Camping Village. This campsite features modern mobile homes just a few meters from the beach and equipped with every comfort. It also offers a water park for adults and children, a semi-Olympic pool, and a restaurant where you can savor the best of Abruzzo’s traditional cuisine. Everything you need for an unforgettable holiday, complete with the glamour and comfort you deserve.

From Nuovi Sogni partner campsites, you can easily head out to visit Pescara, where the scent of the sea fills your lungs and soul. Try the famous spaghetti alla chitarra, then stroll across the scenic Ponte del Mare. Travel further inland and you’ll find timeless L’Aquila, the city of countless churches, the Fontana delle 99 Cannelle, the Basilica of Santa Maria di Collemaggio, and the infinite, atmospheric alleys of its historic center.

Hidden Treasures

While in the area, treat yourself to longed-for local delicacies like arrosticini, fresh mozzarella, or pecora alla callara (stewed sheep). If you're seeking one of Italy’s most spectacular karst phenomena, head to the Stiffe Caves, geologically formed about 600,000 years ago and located in the province of L’Aquila. A well-equipped tourist path will transport you into an unexpected world, straddling reality and fantasy—with enchanted lakes, towering stalactites and stalagmites, trickling water, and lights that flicker into shadow and back again.

Nearby, you can also visit the ancient Roman city of Alba Fucens, at the foot of Monte Velino. Brought to light by archaeological excavations started in the 1950s by scholars from the University of Leuven, this magical city is enclosed by a perfectly preserved 3-kilometer wall, as if still inhabited.
