VALLE DOLCE: a secret, romantic retreat, surrounded by a lush green landscape, yet not isolated and very close to the blue waters of the Adriatic sea. This is our eco-estate, where a unique one-tent glamping is located in one of the last authentic and best-kept-secrets of Italy: Abruzzo!
A gem we think you should discover by yourself; come explore and unwind at the same time, book your stay with us and we bet you'll fall for this place just as we did.
THE VALLEY
Nestled in a peaceful valley in Abruzzo’s wine country, Valle Dolce is located amidst a patchwork of vineyards and old, ever green olive groves, the seductive view of the sea at the horizon. In this southern part of the Trabocchi coast, nature sets the (slow) rhythm and simplicity is the luxury. The distance to a glass of local wine: 0 km , to dip your toes in the water of the Adriatic: 6 km, a mere 13 min drive.....all the ingredients are spot on to live La (Valle) Dolce Vita!
In spring, the valley comes alive with wildflowers (orchids!), creating a vibrant habitat for bees, butterflies, and pollinators essential to the ecosystem. Shaded by greenery even in summer, the lower lands are refreshed by natural springs and home to diverse Italian wildlife—from wild boar and badgers to porcupines and colorful birds like bee-eaters and golden orioles. Neighboring farmers work the vineyards to make sure there will be enough grapes for the wine, to satisfy our fluid intake...
In summer, the pace is slow and the mood is relaxed, tourists and locals alike flock to the beaches, seaside restaurants and clubs to cool off.
Autumn brings a magical time in our valley—the vendemmia, or grape harvest. From late August through October, local vineyards buzz with life as grapes for the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Pecorino, and Trebbiano are picked. The whole countryside celebrates this vibrant season, the autumn colors—green vines turning gold, orange, and deep red—are simply breathtaking.
We cultivate ourselves about 100 olive trees on our land, all hand-harvested in October to produce our own extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Some of the olives are preserved and a portion of the oil is turned into our artisan soap.
Throughout the year a daily portion of vitamines is also secured 100%, as we have more than 15 kinds of fruittrees on our plot, ready to be picked (before the birds grab their chance...). Loquat, apricot, cherry, peach, fig, apple, plum, grapes, oranges and tangerines in winter.... There is enough, so our stock of jams and cakefillings will not be under any threat.
Valle Dolce means “gentle slope” and “sweet valley,” and that’s exactly what we offer: the luxury of doing sweet nothing in the middle of a green habitat and the soft sounds of the valley.
THE LODGE
We are a "1-tent glamping", there is only one lodge on our eco-estate; the distance to the main house (where we live) and our neighbours is such that our guest's privacy is secured. It is very spacious for 2 people (+ small child) and has all the facilities for private use, including your own spa. For more information and the tariffs see next page, "THE LODGE" .
