Hidden Abruzzo
8th – 13th October 2026
A different side of Italy… the one I keep finding my way back to. Five nights in a hidden hill town, just six of us, and me right there with you, every step of the way.
Is this the kind of trip to Italy you're looking for?
Solo travel has crossed your mind more than once
You’d rather have a friend who knows the way than forty strangers and a coach
You’re done waiting for ‘the right time’
A slower pace sounds like relief
You’re ready to be somewhere just for you
You’re comfortable with gentle walking and exploring historic towns.
A taste of the trip
Not a packed itinerary. Just the real Abruzzo, at an easy pace, with plenty of room to just sit and enjoy it. A welcome aperitivo on the terrace, as the light turns gold. A morning lost in olive groves and the local olive oil museum. An afternoon getting your hands properly doughy in a cookery class with Graziella, our favourite local chef. And long lunches that go on for exactly as long as they want to."
