Castle on the Hill

Collected our hire car in Sorrento and drove across the Appenino Mountains to Lopreto Aprutino. Despite the signs warning of snow, deer, moose and even a bear (really?) our trip was uneventful, apart from the terrible drivers. If you are doing 20km over the limit you need to be in the slow lane.
The scenery on the way was superb; lots of villages perched on the side of the hills. It was just like a postcard.
We are staying at Castello Chiola; which dates back to 846AD but now is converted to a magnificent hotel sitting over the village. Photos show the view from the castle, which we can see from our room.Read more
