Francavilla

Overview

Sea, relaxation and comfort in the heart of the Abruzzo coast

Fine sand, Blue Flag sea, a welcoming local community and a sea breeze that will refresh you even on the hottest days. For these and other reasons, Francavilla al Mare is one of the best known tourist resorts in Abruzzo, famous since the second half of the 19th century. Here, on the boundary between Pescara and Chieti, the picturesque Trabocchi Coast begins.

This seaside resort has ancient origins, as evidenced by archaeological finds from prehistoric, Italic and Roman times. It is the ideal spot for couples with children, who will find quiet beaches with plenty of facilities here, as well as for young people eager to enjoy a holiday full of sport and nightlife. The scenic Mermaid Wharfat sunset will provide the setting for your most beautiful souvenir photos.

After a day by the sea, it is pleasant to walk or cycle along the promenade, where you are spoilt for choice with bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours. The town also has churches and historic buildingsyou can visit. Finally, Francavilla al Mare is an excellent starting point to quickly reach two great natural attractions: Gran Sasso and Majella Park.
