My wife and I spent several enjoyable hours visiting the Museo for an informative tour and enjoyable light luncheon with Francesca, the proprietor, who is fluent in English as well as her native Italian. A certified sommelier of olive oil, she was welcoming and passionate describing the history, production and tasting of the oil. The museo itself has the antique equipment used in the oil making process, which Francesca described in charming detail. We learned how to properly taste the oils, then enjoyed a delicious light luncheon of ingredients produced by her family. We also tasted a variety of wines from Francesca’s winery, CantinArte, which were wonderful. I would highly recommend a visit and tasting to anyone who seeks a different and genuine insight into olive oil.

Situata sulle colline teatine che guardano al mare Adriatico, l'azienda agricola Maligni si estende nei comuni di Chieti e di Torrevecchia Teatina. Dopo piu di cinque generazioni la passione per la vite ed il vino e arrivata nel 2009 a concretizzarsi nel fondare l'azienda agricola Maligni che si affianca alla pre esistente azienda agricola Savini Maria Assunta ed ancor prima all'azienda agricola Tomei. Il nome Maligni e un appellativo che da oltre quattro generazioni identifica la famiglia Tomei e, secondo le ricerche effettuate, sarebbe da additare ad un contenzioso avvenuto tra l'allora pater familias Pasquale Tomei ed il parroco del luogo. Oggi l'azienda agricola Maligni si estende su una superficie di dieci ettari di vigneti, coltivati principalmente con le varieta Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Pecorino, Cococciola che, per la zona di produzione particolarmente vocata, si distinguono per l'ottima qualita. La nostra cantina e il risultato di una felice simbiosi tra tradizione ed innovazione, per questo l'Arte del nostro lavoro consiste nel trasformare i preziosi doni della natura in vini eccellenti, avendo sempre un occhio di riguardo per l'ambiente e per la qualita. Il fascino di un ambiente naturale, il piacere dell'ospitalita mediterranea, in un locale storico con spazi luminosi per la rappresentanza e le degustazioni. Cantine Maligni, la qualita non ha compromessi.

The Regional Natural Reserve of Punta Aderci was created in 1998 and spans 5 Km from Punta Penna to the mouth of Sinello river further North. The reserve is a quiet, peaceful and undeveloped area with beaches, cliffs, grassland, and other vegetation, trabocchi (a trabocco is an old wooden fishing machine found on the Adriatic coast in this region). access to the Reserve and its beaches and trails are totally free; however, there are no services in the Reserve except at the entrance of Punta Penna opposite the parking where you can find showers, toilets, and drinking water. I visited by the Punta Penna entrance and walked the 1 Km road to the belvedere near the sea where you have amazing and stunning views of the sea, beaches, and trabocco. When I visited there was also a bus service for those unable to walk to the belvedere (cost: 1 Euro).

Beatiful museum with a gorgeous collection of ancient roman and pre-roman artifacts found in the Abruzzo region. The museum, located in An old villa in the centre of Chieti, is also the home of the "Warrior of Capestrano", probably the most iconic, beautiful and enigmatic sculpture from the Italic pre-roman age. All sections of the museum are provided with English info panels. Warmly recommended to all visitors passing by the provinces of Pescara and Chieti.
6. Castello Medievale di Roccascalegna
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 437 reviews
Roccascalegna is a small town of 1,400 inhabitants, situated on the hills surrounding the Sangro river. Probably the founders of Roccascalegna were the Longobards that, coming from the North of Italy, from 600 AD occupied permanently the current southern Molise and Abruzzo. Because of this the Byzantine garrisons rallied on the Adriatic Sea coast. The construction of the first watch tower by Longobards can be explained as a result of the logic of such conflict as well as the Castle. After the end of the conflict between Longobards and Byzantines, except a note of an accounting in 1320, there are no historical source concerning the Roccascalegna Castle until 1525. In this year we can see a description of the structure of the restored castle, in compliance with the new requirements necessary with the advent of firearms. In the 1705 another deed describes the restoration of the entrance steps of the castle of Roccascalegna. Since 1700 the Castle was abandoned for three centuries, during which the bad weather and the thefts of the local population helped to ruin its structure, until the donation, appenened in the 1985, by Croce Nanni, the last feudal family to the Local Council of Roccascalegna. Immediately began the restoration work that reported the Roccascalegna Castle to its former glory in 1996.

You need to be fit and good at walking on uneven surfaces to visit. An interesting castle at the end of the village. We were very pleased to see that it was open at lunch time and were greeted by a lovely smile and welcome from the ticket seller.She advised it was a reduced rate of only €2 each(no idea why) The entrance appears to have the original stairs(if you can call them that),very uneven steps,hence the need for very sturdy footwear.There were exhibitions in Italian with a description of the rooms you were in in English. The views were lovely,so I would suggest going on a day with good visibility. There is also a room dedicated to instruments of torture,which did have descriptions in English.Read them if you dare! A lovely castle top,definitely recommend.

This church is located in the center of this lovely coastal town and is famous for holding the remains of Saint-Thomas the Apostle. Many times reconstructed, it dates back to 1258. The main Portal is the original one from 1311 and its white stone contrasts with the rest of the structure built in red bricks. The interior features one nave and lateral chapels and a crypt below the altar with the remains of Saint-Thomas. When I visited there was no other person in it and I was able to admire it in absolute silence.
