Vasto enchants with a charm of yesteryear. Overlooking the gulf of Trabocchi, it has ancient origins and collects the remains of three thousand years of civilization, testified by ancient towers, fortifications, churches and palaces. The city boasts the Palazzo d’Avalos with its beautiful gardens, is one of the most significant examples of Renaissance architecture in Abruzzo.

Part of the coast near Vasto is famous for the Trabocchi, that are historical fishing platforms on stilts and a few of them have been restored and can be used for lovely private cocktails and dinners.

The coastal area also hosts a National Park – the Riserva Naturale di Punta Aderci where the vegetation flows into the incredible beaches  and birdwatching is a favourite passtime. If you are lucky, dolphins and sea turtles can also be seen.
