A region between the Appennino and the Adriatic Sea offering the tourists the best of both the mountain and the sea.
It's a wonderful region with a hundred–year-old history, which still carefully preserves a natural and cultural inheritance of great account.
It's a region that has done a considerable evolution without losing the original characteristics that make it so unique and different.
During the last years, while Italian tourist trade met the first real difficulties in Abruzzo, an environmental and nature awareness developed and led to an extraordinary success: the foundation of two new national parks besides the famous National Park of Abruzzo, of a regional park and some “oasis” or wild-life reserves which increased the portion of protected territory of 30%.
On this invaluable, precious richness of natural resources the Abruzzo Region is basing its work to consolidate the touristic offer with new and qualitatively higher foundations.
Besides the natural beauties: culture, historical inheritance and art treasures.
The numerous mediaeval monuments are so important that since several years hundreds of churches, abbeys, cathedrals, monasteries and other religious remains have been restored. Today they are part of a route to the discovery of the region, valuable not only for its famous art treasures but also for its untouched landscapes: many of these monuments are situated in the midst of a beautiful scenery.
With its 500 castles rising on the top of mediaeval villages, Abruzzi can be really defined as an open-air museum illustrating the history of the architecture of fortification.
In fact, as a consequence of several extraordinary historical events, a lot of towers, castles, fortresses and defence construtions were built in the midst of an untouched landscape.
Moreover, a great part of the habits and traditions bound to the old folk culture are still alive.
Even the very tasty cooking of Abruzzi has strictly preserved its traditions. The foundations of this gastronomy are its genuine products. Abruzzi also offers wonderful beaches and beautiful resorts which are provided with all the necessary to enjoy relaxation, sports and entertainment, with hotel facilities meeting all modern requirements.
Therefore the region of Abruzzi has a liking for the tourist trade, or rather for several types of tourism because its extraordinary many-sided and complete offer gives guests the opportunity to have a holiday harmonizing with their personal inclinations.

THE BEACH - Even if the sea washes it only on one side Tortoreto is an happy island. Maybe for its particular landscape or for its climate, maybe for the courtesy of its inhabitants, for the professionality of its tourist agents or for the numerous sports and ricreative activities… Tortoreto is a special holiday place.

THE NATURE - Tortoreto is an admirable example of how “Wellness” may come out of respect for nature. A luxuriant mediterranean bush, an innumerable quantity of palms, a gentle and growing profusely hill, an incredibly various environment for its flora and fauna. Tortoreto is an ideal place for a delightful relax.

THE HISTORY - The ancient soul of our places can be found in the patrician villa that has recently been discovered in the medieval village of the “Paese Alto”, in the renaissance church of “Madonna della Misericordia”, in the seventeenth century monastery of S.Agostino, in the secular atmosphere of its alleys.
