Dog-friendly wildlife haven with four hectares of space
Half an hour’s drive from National Park of Abruzzo; a trail close by
Bar on site, barbecues permitted; walk to Pescina’s historical centre

After a day of hiking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing, birdwatching, skiing or whatever else floats your boat, you’ll be glad to have a site as relaxing as Rifugio Silone to return to. This Abruzzo site is a wildlife haven with four hectares and plenty of large spaces for picnics, all fenced (good news for those of you who have dogs accompanying you). Just half an hour’s drive from National Park of Abruzzo, this is the place to be if you like outdoorsy breaks. There are rivers, mountains, karsts, streams and heaps of wildlife there, and plenty of trails for feet or mountain bicycles. On site, you might spot a roe or deer popping out of the woods in the early morning or at sunset and there are often buzzards and hawks gliding overhead (before the stars come out, that is). Surrounded by mountains, views from the site include the distant peaks of Parco Naturale Regionale Sirente-Velino. With the scent of grass, pastures and the pine forests that surround Rifugio Silone, it’s a splendid barbecue setting (and there’s an on-site bar if you want something to wash the food down with). All this will come as a welcome treat after a day following the cultural path that runs close to the site. When you’re ready to scope out the local area, the medieval centre of Pescina is just 35 minutes’ walk away. Top sights include museums like Museo Ignazio Silone and Casa Museo Giulio Mazzarino, Tomba di Ignazio Silone and Piccolomini Tower. Pescara is an hour’s drive away and Rome is an hour and 25 minutes’ drive away for trips further afield.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: La pace, il silenzio, il poter dormire circondata solo da verde e montagne.
La struttura è dotata anche di bagni con acqua calda, tavoli all'aperto e punto ristoro aperto nel periodo estivo. I ragazzi che la gestiscono ci mettono l'anima, sempre gentili e disponibili.

Disliked: Nulla.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Esperienza inaspettata. Pensavamo (io e i miei amici) ad andare in una normale piazzola verde a montare le tende, invece siamo finiti in mezzo ad un concertino. Il posto dedicato a noi, per montare le tende, era abbastanza ritirato da non vedere le luci del palco ne sentire troppa musica. Comunque, abbiamo deciso di passare la serata in mezzo a tutta la gente. I proprietari, gentilissimi a dir poco. Alla mano, simpatici.

Local attractions

It’s very likely you’re here for the gorgeous landscapes. So, hike away in the splendid Valle del Giovenco (15 minutes’ drive) or the massifs of Rocche Plateau (45 minutes). Then, head to Celano (20 minutes) for gorges and Piccolomini Castle or to the peaks of the Parco Naturale Regionale Sirente-Velino (25 minutes) for more treks, mountain biking or skiing. There are more ski slopes and hiking around Campo Felice (50 minutes) and Ovindoli (35 minutes) if that’s your thing. Those of you who’d rather spend their days by the water, seeing what fish they can snare, will be pleased to know that the Giovenco river, Sangro river and lakes are within a short drive of the site too. Meanwhile, fans of history and archaeology will be set with a visit to archaeological areas from the Roman era, such as Ingresso Area archeologica di Alba Fucens (35 minutes) and Antica Città di Marruvio (10 minutes). Aielli (20 minutes) has medieval sights instead: churches and a tower are among its assets.
