Stop 1

Trabocchi Coast: the soul of the Adriatic

Stretching along the southern coast of Abruzzo, the Trabocchi Coast is famous for its traditional wooden fishing platforms suspended above the sea. Scenic coastal roads, hidden coves, panoramic viewpoints, and small fishing villages create one of the most cinematic landscapes in the region.

Driving slowly along the coastline reveals an Abruzzo shaped by sea, wind, and old maritime traditions that still survive today.

Take time to stop along the route, enjoy the views, and discover the quieter corners between the beaches and cliffs.

UMA tip
Before reaching the coast, stop at the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere. Perched above the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by olive groves, it offers one of the most panoramic and atmospheric viewpoints along the journey south.

Stop 2

Punta Aderci: wild nature above the sea

Protected as a natural reserve, Punta Aderci is one of the most untouched coastal landscapes in Italy. Long wild beaches, cliffs, dunes, vineyards, and turquoise waters create a striking contrast between land and sea.

The panoramic walking paths overlooking the Adriatic offer some of the most beautiful coastal views in Abruzzo, especially in the softer light of late afternoon.

A place where nature remains raw, open, and deeply peaceful.

UMA tip
Visit Punta Aderci later in the day, when the coastline becomes quieter and the golden light softens the cliffs, vineyards, and sea into an almost cinematic landscape.

Return slowly to UMA

After the road, return to the quiet rhythm of the hills — sunset aperitifs, organic wines, relaxing massages, slow evenings, and the stillness of nature surrounding UMA Casanatura.
