B&B Girasole is a residential dwelling affording an independent entrance and spacious garden, located at Introdacqua. This town, on the list as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, surrounded by luxuriant vegetation, is located in the heart of the Abruzzo Natural Parks, enjoying a splendid panoramic view, facing Monte Morrone, Maiella and Gran Sasso. It is close to Sulmona, an excellent fine arts centre, and only a short drive from inspiring Lake Scanno, the Roccaraso-Rivisondoli skier's paradise (totalling 110 km of suitable runs) and Pescocostanzo.
All this makes Introdacqua a valued tourist attraction and an ideal destination for summer and winter hiking. Upon entering the ancient gate Porta della Terra with the bastions of the old fortress, the visitor is carried back to the past while working his way through the charming, narrow streets of the old district, known as il Castello and to the landing of the thirteenth century tower Torre Medievale.
Worth mentioning are also the mother church Chiesa Madre (1474-1510) with its Romanesque bell tower (1600), the Marchese Trasmondi Palace (1400) and Fontavecchia, the old fountain. The town's sleepy hollow atmosphere is conducive to a pleasant and relaxing stay, enhanced by the many cultural events made of folklore, music, good wine and savoury cooking displayed by the local associations throughout the year.
