Hotels in Abruzzo, Italy

Abruzzo sits in central Italy, with a climate that's mild in spring and fall, snowy winters in the mountains, and hot summers along the Adriatic coast. It's famous for its three national parks, where you can hike Gran Sasso in summer (temps around 80°F/27°C) or ski at Roccaraso in winter (often below freezing). The coast offers swimming at beaches like Pineto, while inland medieval hill towns like Sulmona let you eat cheap arrosticini (grilled lamb skewers) and explore Roman ruins without the crowds.
