The Gran Sasso around Pizzoli, Abruzzo.
Mountain roads, wide open valleys and landscapes that seem to go on forever.
This is the side of Abruzzo that keeps making us want to get back in the car and see what's around the next corner.

Eat well, live well.
One of the things we love about living in Abruzzo is the incredible variety of fresh food that's part of everyday life .. seasonal fruit and vegetables, good olive oil, beans, pulses, bread, pasta, cheese and so much that's grown or produced locally.
Food here isn't usually about complicated recipes or following a trend. It's about good ingredients, cooked simply and enjoyed with other people.

There's something very appealing about that way of eating.

Just our every day drive home from Casoli to Gessopalena.
No sightseeing trip, no special destination... just the roads we use as part of everyday life, with the Abruzzo countryside unfolding around us and stunning views of the Maiella.
One of the things we still love about living here is that even an ordinary journey can come with views like these.

Roccascalegna Castle, perched high above the village in the Abruzzo countryside.

From the ground it's impressive. From above, you really see just how extraordinary its position is — rising from the rocky outcrop with the mountains and valleys stretching out behind it.

One of those places in Abruzzo that looks almost unreal, but is very much here.

September has arrived, but summer clearly isn't ready to leave.

34° today and back at the beach, with the Adriatic still feeling very much like summer.

If this is the start of September, we're not complaining.

Hello September. Stay a while.

Inside the little Ca****la di San Vincenzo Ferrer, high in the Gran Sasso near Pizzoli.

At around 1,455 metres above sea level, this small mountain chapel feels wonderfully removed from everything.

There are photographs, personal mementos and reminders of the people who have passed through here, giving the little chapel a sense of connection with the local community and the traditions of mountain life.

It's a very simple place, but somehow it feels special.

While the rest of the herd were making their way home, this one was taking its time.

Just a lone cow walking slowly..and why not with this beautiful scenery.

Sometimes the simplest moments make the best videos.

Gessi di Vini 2026 was brilliant.

It felt busier than ever, but everything was so well organised. Great entertainment, brilliant food, plenty of wine and a fantastic atmosphere throughout the village.

It's lovely to see Gessopalena's festa getting bigger while still keeping that real village feel.

We had such a good night.

Already looking forward to Gessi di Vini 2027.
