  • Its worth the time and effort to explore Castiglione Messer Marino, a lovely old medieval centre and stunning views. There is a more modern part of the town, with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. There is a market, its car friendly and the whole place has a very friendly vibe.

    My dad is from this town. We used to visit it quite often when I was younger, now living in Germany. The view on some spots and the people are fantastic. Thank you for bringing up good memories!

    Stunning scenery and beautiful town. Snow a couple of meters deep? I did not realize you got that kind of snow in Abruzzo!

      Yes we can, a couple of years back, we had a lot more than that here. I posted a short vlog on the channel about it. The snow outside our house was as deep as three meters in places. Fortunately, the winters here are very short, January to February and back into spring.
