The tranquillity of the lake among the mountain peaks
Barrea, a picturesque Abruzzo municipality nestled between the peaks of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, offers a picturesque atmosphere on the shores of its namesake lake. The historic core, with cobbled streets and old stone buildings in warm colours, offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills.
The lake, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the mountain peaks, is ideal for relaxation, walks and picnics in nature. Historical monuments such as the Church of St Thomas tell the story of the rich local history, while the National Park offers opportunities for hiking, biking and observing the flora and fauna.
The local cuisine, rich in tradition, offers delicacies such as cheese, legume soups and meat specialities.
