Other things to note For cyclists: many routes start from here, between the Majella and the Adriatic coast. For the fittest, there is the climb to the Blockhaus, one of the most iconic stages of the Giro d'Italia. In the village, you can hire conventional or electric bicycles, or be accompanied by expert mountain and cycling guides. For skiers: The slopes are nearby, and your equipment can be kept safe on the ground floor. Slow tourism: Take a trip back in time through the cobbled streets, set off to discover the wolves and the ancient hermitages of the Majella, such as the Hermitage of Santo Spirito and the Hermitage of San Bartolomeo (in Roccamorice), and end the day on the beautiful Adriatic Sea. Genuine people and flavours: On Thursdays, the itinerant greengrocer sets up his stall right outside the front door: fresh fruit and vegetables, a bit of a chat, and you're already one of the locals. In the typical trattorias of the area, you'll find traditional, home-cooked food at prices that are now only available in a few places in Italy. At the farmers' market in the nearby village of Fara Filiorum Petri, you can find fresh, wholesome produce straight from the producer and delicious local meats (porchetta, arrosticini, sausages). The local dairy produces delicious cheeses made with milk from the area. The village butcher's shop sells unique delicacies sourced locally. The square just outside the house: this is where the villagers gather, enjoying a chat on the benches while taking in the magnificent view that stretches from the square all the way to the sea. Sit down with them: it's the best way to feel at home. Registration details IT069069C2FQYKDOTU
