Forte e gentile. — Primo Levi, describing Abruzzo and its people.
The details are still being worked out, but enough people are asking me about the 2015 trip to Abruzzo (my new home away from home) that I thought I’d better get out some information.
There are only 8 seats available on this one (plus we four new residents), for a total of 12 travelers, so please get your reservations in early once the trip is formally announced.
Here are the details as we know them so far:
Dates:
July 10 – 19, 2015
Venue(s):
6 nights in Sulmona, the beautiful city of Ovid and the 22-arch aqueduct
2 nights in the medieval city of Santo Stefano di Sessanio
Activities:
Will include two cooking classes; a winery tour; walking tours of Sulmona, Scanno and Santo Stefano; a visit to the Pellino confetti factory; a guided tour of the Celestine Abbey Morronese; a hike up to Rocca Calascio for unforgettable views; and plenty of free time to explore and shop on your own.
Includes:
Airport transfers plus all ground transportation on the tour
Breakfast daily
5 lunches with wine
5 dinners with wine
5 “aperitivi” with wine and nibbles
Complete details will be published before the end of the year.
We had a great time in Umbria last year — Abruzzo will knock your calzini off.
I guarantee it!
Buon viaggio!
