Abruzzo Wine Hotels

Abruzzo is often called the “greenest region in Europe,” with more than a third of its land protected as national parks. Right alongside those mountains and forests, you’ll find some of Italy’s most characterful wines - and wine hotels. One of our all-time favourites is Castello di Semivicoli. A former 17th-century baronial palace where you nowadays can experience both the region’s natural beauty and its winemaking traditions... The castle rises above the rolling hills with sweeping views of vineyards, olive groves, and even the Adriatic on a clear day. Inside, it combines history with understated elegance: vaulted ceilings, stone walls, and rooms that balance heritage with comfort. Wine, of course, is at the heart of it. Guests can taste Masciarelli’s acclaimed labels in the ancient cellars, tour the surrounding vineyards, or linger over long dinners where local flavours meet bold Abruzzo reds. In our opinion, the perfect way to live inside the story of Abruzzo’s wine culture. Read more

There’s something special about staying somewhere where every glass you sip has been grown, harvested, and aged just steps away. At Agriturismo Emidio Pepe in Abruzzo, wine isn’t just part of the experience - it is the experience. The Pepe family has been making biodynamic, age-worthy Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano here for generations, and guests are invited right into that world... Days can start with a walk through the vineyards, the Adriatic breeze on your face, before heading into the cellar for a guided tasting of vintages that have made the Emidio Pepe name legendary. The guest rooms are warm and unfussy, with a charm that comes from being on a real working estate rather than a polished resort. Meals are all about local ingredients - many from the estate’s own gardens - paired, naturally, with the family’s wines. It’s the kind of place where wine lovers feel instantly at home, where tradition meets generosity, and where you leave with more than just a few bottles. Read more
