Villa Asia is situated in the Conca Peligna, a vast valley nestled between the Majella massif and the Morrone mountains, the true heart of Abruzzo. Its location, just a few minutes from the historic center of Sulmona, allows visitors to enjoy both the tranquility of the countryside and the vibrant atmosphere of a city rich in art, history, and traditions.
Sulmona is renowned worldwide for its production of confetti, which here also transforms into a decorative art. The town boasts an elegant historic center, featuring the Cathedral of San Panfilo, the Church of the Annunciation, and charming alleys filled with shops and cafés. A must-visit is the municipal villa, a popular walking area and the green heart of the city.
The region is perfect for nature lovers: nearby trails lead into the Majella National Park, where visitors can find hermitages carved into the rock, spectacular gorges, and breathtaking views extending to the Adriatic Sea. Not far away is the Sulmona train station, from which the famous Transiberiana d’Abruzzo departs, recognized as one of the most scenic train routes in Italy, traversing mountainous landscapes and authentic villages.
The experience is enriched by the local gastronomic delights: cheeses, cured meats, Montepulciano wine, and traditional peasant dishes that turn the vacation into a journey of taste as well as a cultural exploration.
