SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION
SELF-CATERING COTTAGE
On
the same street as the Antico Borgo B&B, and right in the middle of
the charming old town, Casa Travi is a house with its roots from the
17th century. After
renovation in 2007 the house still keep its traditional Italian charm
with white walls and wooden beams visible in the ceilings. Visible parts
of the house’s stone walls act as natural décor, and the kitchen has a
vaulted ceiling with lovely details! Inside the front door you are
greeted by a small ledge with space for coats, and then you will take
the stairs up to a spacious living room.
The living room consists of a lounge area and a dining area, and from here a vault leads the way to the kitchen and a staircase will take you to the second floors. From the kitchen there is a door to the secluded terrace. The terrace is a spacious area of 25 sq m. On the second floor there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Sleeps 5.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
There

of Caramanico Terme has shops, an outdoor swimming pool, horse riding, rock climbing school and:
OTTER BREEDING Centre - Caramanico Terme
Otters
live in the upper reaches of the Orfento and Orta rivers. To help with a
repopulation program this Reserve has been created on the slopes below
the Visitors Centre. Guided Tours are organised during the Summer,
taking place in the late evening when otters are at their most active.
Numbers are limited and tours book up quickly, so if you are interested,
talk to your Local Manager early in your stay.
THE WOLF Sanctuary - Popoli
Wolves
are being bred in a large enclosure on the Western flanks of Monte
Morrone. The project can be visited, and the wolves seen in their
habitat, but only in the context of an extended guided tour in Italian
(total of 3 1/2
hours) which includes visit to all the animal enclosures. The sanctuary
is about an hour's drive from Caramanico. Speak to our Local Manager
for more information/booking.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
Amazing
hikes, breath taking views, cultural experiences such as the shepherd's
hut, great kids's fun, wine and cheese tasting, and dinner at the home of local Abruzzo
