Hidden Abruzzo: Day Escape from Rome with BBQ & Medieval Villages is a full-day small-group tour that transports you from the bustle of the city into one of Italy’s most untouched regions. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll explore the rugged landscapes and hidden historical gems of Abruzzo—all within a day trip from Rome.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive into the mountains where your first stop is Campo Imperatore, known as “The Italian Tibet.” This stunning high plain, once a set for spaghetti westerns, becomes your BBQ lunch setting. Enjoy grilled arrosticini (a beloved local dish), wine, and fresh air in this dramatic landscape.

Next, head to Rocca Calascio, the highest fortress in Italy, perched dramatically above the hills. It’s a dream for photographers and history lovers alike.

Finally, stroll the cobbled streets of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, a beautifully preserved medieval village. Feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook as you wander through stone archways, flowered balconies, and artisan shops.

This is a perfect blend of nature, history, and authentic local experiences—all in one unforgettable day.
