Torre Dell’Angelo Activities


Our swimming pool is 6×12 m in size. It is situated in the olive grove and surrounded by an ever-green garden. Around the pool, you have access to sun beds, armchairs, and several umbrellas. There is a beautiful mountain view from the pool. It is open the entire year and we recommend diving in even in the winter right after visiting our Russian Bath.

Our Russian Bath has a wooden oven and can be used in two modes: the same as the Finnish Sauna, or alternatively with steam, produced by pouring water into a special opening in the oven. Towels and bath robes are included in the price.

We can organize a Gourmet Dinner on our Sunset and Gran Sasso view Terrace or inside the House in our vaulted living room. Usually the dinner is prepared by one of our guest Chefs, and consists of the traditional Italian and Abruzzese Dishes sourced from the local products. The earlier you book it, the higher the probability that the Chef will be available on your date. You can discuss the Menù directly with the Chef.

You can add wine tasting with a professional Sommelier to your Gourmet Dinner. The sommelier will choose an appropriate wine to every dish from your Menu. The sommelier will also describe each wine in detail, as well as the approach to analyzing the taste profile, and will explain why it is a good choice for the dish.

You can enjoy an elegant breakfast on the Torre with a 360-degree view on the surrounding rolling hills and mountains.

Arrosticini is a traditional Abruzzese dish, small pieces of usually cheap meat on wooden sticks. We can order the ingredients for you, and provide you with a metal oven and coal, so that you can prepare them yourself.

You will be provided with all the necessary ingredients and, with the guidance of our local expert, you will be able to make pizza or pasta, depending on what you choose to explore. The pizza is cooked in our wood oven in the garden. After the dish is prepared, you can enjoy it with the local wine.

Our events usually combine the local cuisine, traditional wine, and live music. They are held either on our panoramic terrace or around the swimming pool. To visit one of our events please book it on our website. We can also organize events for you. See information in the Events section.
