Hotels in Abruzzo, Italy
Abruzzo is a region in central Italy, east of Rome, with a climate that swings from snowy winters in the Apennines to warm summers along the Adriatic coast. It's famous for its three national parks, including Gran Sasso, where you can ski in winter and hike wildflower meadows in spring. From June to September, you can bike along the Trabocchi Coast or feast on arrosticini (grilled lamb skewers) at mountain festivals, while winter brings cheaper lodging and empty slopes for skiing at Roccaraso.
