Italy is one of my favourite places to visit and I have enjoyed many holidays there. It was just by chance that I discovered Sacred Walks, but I'm so glad I did. I had an absolutely wonderful holiday!
The guides have a passion for and an extensive knowledge of Abruzzo which means that you get to see some places that you would be unlikely to discover on your own.
The scenery is magnificent, you feel you can breath more easily in the vast open spaces and the silence is truly 'golden'.
The walks took in historic villages, hermitages and churches which had amazing frescoes.
Everywhere we stayed the welcome was very warm and the food (which, wherever possible, was local to the area) was always delicious - good job it was a walking holiday!
If you go independently to Abruzzo you can't fail to be impressed, but if you want to experience all the area has to offer and get all you can from your trip then i would strongly recommend that you go with Sacred Walks.

I was in a pattern of work hard, burn out, go on luxury holiday and repeat. I decided it was time to shake things up and get out of my comfort zone! Along came sacred walks….and sacred it was…to actually disconnect from the outside world and walk in the most beautiful historic landscape with like minded people is a wonderful thing. Andrew and Lorenzo’s passion for this trip is infectious and they have gone to great lengths to ensure that you get a unique and authentic experience. I remember standing in a cave where a hermit had lived for 40 years before becoming pope! Maybe it was the space created to have real conversations with people, maybe it was the beauty or maybe it was just timing but I also met the love of my life that week so thank you sacred walks!

This was my first walking holiday and I loved it.
With a group of nine others and two guides we visited fascinating areas of the Abruzzo Mountains. We walked every day and stayed in three unusual places - each one quirky but lovely - a Palazzo B&B in Scanno, an agriturismo farmstead & a restored medieval village previously decimated by earthquake.The food was very Italian and always excellent.
One night we camped on a mountain in the cloud and that was fun as well.

This holiday exceeded expectations and has left me with some wonderful memories. I had no prior experience of the Abruzzo, and with the help of our two experienced and knowledgeable guides we were shown landscapes and scenery in three National Parks which at times simply took one's breath away. A very varied week, in terms of countryside, accommodation, and exertion. Even camping on a wet evening was rescued by a 6 course dinner cooked over a log fire, washed down with red wine and home made limoncello. The people we met were unfailingly generous and hospitable, and the food was delicious, simple and plentiful. The phrase heard most often was 'Wow! That's amazing'

I wholeheartedly agree with the two preceding reviews.
A lot of careful planning had gone into our holiday yet the guides were flexible and ready to adapt the programme to meet our wishes. A perfect blend of not-too-challenging hill walking, wonderful nature, secret places, excellent meals and beautiful art and architecture.
Not to mention gelati in San Valentino for the sybarites in the group (i.e. everyone).
