The Abruzzo real-estate market has lain dormant and untapped for many years, not spoilt by over development or large influx of foreign investment in the property market. This has happened in most of the other popular tourist locations.

The region still has some of the largest nature reserves in natural condition unchanged for thousands of years. The country side is also completely natural as farming has not been industrialized and is worked in the same manner as it has been for centuries.

It means that today it is still possible to buy a nice property in country side with land for about 100.000 euros. Low cost Air companies have helped this region to grow and to be known from many people. Now more and more are looking for a property to invest in and enjoy.

The Province of Teramo is the northernmost province of Abruzzo, at the border with the Ascoli-Piceno province, along the Adriatic sea. It is less than two hours away by car from Rome with which it is connected by a comfortable motorway passing below the Gran Sasso through a 10km long tunnel. The territory has a great variety since in a space of hardly 40 km air-line, it goes from the Adriatic beaches to the almost 3000 meters of the highest Appenine peaks. It is crossed west to east by the seven valleys of the rivers Tronto, Vibrata, Salinello, Tordino, Vomano, Piomba and Fino. Along the coast there are the beautiful seaside resorts of Martinsicuro, Alba Adriatica, Tortoreto, Giulianova, Roseto degli Abruzzi, Pineto and Silvi Marina, immediately in the hinterland the ancient historical centres of Civitella del Tronto, Campli, Nereto, Notaresco, Castellalto and Castelbasso, Montepagano, Atri, and up into the mountains the picturesque villages of Castelli, celebrated majolica capital of Abruzzi, Isola del Gran Sasso with the sanctuary of St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin, Pietracamela, Montorio, and the ski fields of Prati di Tivo.

The Province of Chieti is mostly a hilly and mountainous area between the Adriatic sea to the east and the Maiella chain to the north-west. It is extensively cultivated with olive trees and vineyards, and produces celebrated wines and extravirgine olive oil. The province of Chieti was called "Citeriore" since it was situated to the right of the Pescara river and was in Latin "citra" (=this side) with reference to Naples, the capital of the Kingdom. The Pescara river separated it from the province of Teramo, the Apennine Mountains from the province of L'Aquila, the right shore of the Sangro and the Valicella of the Varrino from Molise. The territory includes mountainous features, the group of the Maiella, and 72 km of steep and rocky coast, along the Adriatic sea.

The Province of Aquila is the largest in Abruzzo and occupies the western part of the region; it is the only province that has no access to the sea, and includes the highest mountains of the Apennines (Gran Sasso, Maiella and Velino-Sirente). There are many rivers, such as the Aterno-Pescara, Sangro, Liri, Salto, Turano and an abundance of springs and water coming form the abundant snowfall. Besides the natural lakes of Scanno and Barrea there is the large artificial lake of Campotosto. In the Gran Sasso mountain there is also the southernmost glacier in Europe, called the Calderone. The province has a very low population density, and a territory full of castles and fortified medieval boroughs on top of mountains. It included once the largest lake in the Italian peninsule, Lake Fucino, where in antiquity the Romans came on holiday, which was drained with the third biggest engineering project in the late 19th century (the other 2 being the Eiffel Tower and the Suez Canal). The Fucino land is today a flourishing agricultural area, and an important technological district in the region.

PROVINCE OF PESCARA The smallest province of the Abruzzi region includes territories north and south the basin of the river Pescara from the gorges of Popoli to the sea, with the profiles of the Maiella and Gran Sasso mountains to the west. The most highly-populated province in the region, with its capital, the city of Pescara, the largest urban area, a fishing center of great importance and one of the major tourist and business centers on the Adriatic Sea
