Autumn in Abruzzo is our favourite season, it's a wonderful riot of colour and bounty of flavours to be experienced at festivals

The most famous San Martino festival in Abruzzo is hosted in Scanno with 3 giant bonfires that will fertilise the earth over the coming winter!

A beautiful location to celebrate San Martino is the 'I Borghi più Belli d'Italia' village of Pietracamela sits under Prati di Tivo. The village's excellent restaurants have come together to create a polenta feast, wine and roasted chestnuts for just €10.
