Abruzzo’s hidden locations: rent a Maserati and explore all the unmissable stops
The Maserati MC20 is an automotive work of art that combines the style of Italian design with the power of a racing engine, perfect for guiding you, curve after curve, in your search for Abruzzo’s unspoiled spaces and hidden villages. From the lakes to the Apennines, passing through natural parks, seas and charming hamlets, here are some of our favourite hidden locations in Abruzzo:
- The Trabocchi Coast: beloved for its ancient fishing machines (trabocchi) made of wood which stand over the sea, this road traces a picturesque route with breathtaking views that wind between the blue of the sea and the green of the hills. The power of your rented Maserati’s engine will allow you to easily tackle the panoramic curves.
- S. Mary’s Hermitage in Pietrabona: with a millennia-old history, over the centuries this mysterious and charming place of worship has attracted numerous hermits in search of a hidden place dedicated to spiritual reflection in Abruzzo. It's a small treasure nestled in nature, just a few steps from L'Aquila.
- Castello dell'Orsa and the Cobolds’ Cave: staying in the province of L'Aquila, you can reach a path that twists and turns among the ruins of an ancient castle. Here, you will also find an almost fairy-tale-like cave dedicated to Cobolds, characteristic gnomes of mischievous nature inspired by Germanic folklore and famous for haunting mines and other underground places.
- The Church of S. Donato in Castelli (Teramo): A hamlet nestled in the Abruzzo countryside, housing a unique artistic heritage: the church boasts a ceiling entirely covered with 17th-century tiles handcrafted by local artists. This work, so spectacular to deserve the title of "Sistine Chapel of ceramics", makes the Church the ideal destination for enjoying a relaxing stay immersed in Italian culture and art history.
- The Baullo Plateau: A legendary destination shrouded in mystery and far from mass tourism. Reach it aboard your Maserati MC20 and enjoy breathtaking views in any season.
- Pescocostanzo: One of Abruzzo’s most picturesque hidden hamlets, also known as "the village of intertwined threads" thanks to the artisan activities that its community continues to pass down from generation to generation. Here life flows slowly and ancient trades such as traditional lacework, blacksmithing and tapestry making still survive.
- Roccascalegna and San Vito, in the province of Chieti: Conclude your itinerary with a spectacular view of the lands and sea of this mysterious, authentic, and enchanting region called Abruzzo.
