Agriturismo "Giacomo"
You will find these pleasant holiday apartments at a height of 500 m. They command
breathtaking views of the more rugged side of the
Maiella Mountains
and the picturesque relief that is the Guardiagrele near coastal area. Away from mass tourism,
this is an ideal location to relax and get away from everyday life. If you've ever considered writing
a book, this is the sort of romantic location you're looking for.

Situated directly next to the Maiella National park.

Its farming activities are spread across 13.5 hectares in the Chieti province.
The farm grows cereals and olives. Great store is set by maintaining traditional
farming methods. The rediscovery of "old-world" plant types such as the high-grade
Farro corn (Emmer wheat) enables the farm to operate without pesticides. The Giacomo
estate is famous for its production of Farro. Farro is an easy-to-digest cereal crop
that helps to reduce stress thanks to its high magnesium content. It is particularly
rich in mineral salts and does not send blood sugar levels soaring. This means, then,
that it's especially good for athletes and those needing constantly high energy levels
(it was also the main staple food for the legionnaires of Rome). Indeed, Farro is also
a fitting product for diabetics and people wanting to lose weight without having to go
without good food.
The Agriturismo's produce is grown in accordance with organic certification (AMAB =
Associazione mediterranea agricoltura biologica). Giacomo, the owner and a former engineer,
sells his high-quality products at home and abroad. We decided to taste his fantastic olive
oil, his Farropasta and his Minestre and were truly impressed.
Giacomo's products offer a unique way to rediscover taste!
