Between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic sea, the Italian region of Abruzzo is slowly being discovered by property hunters seeking an authentic taste of Italy - and there's more here to be sampled than the region's famous Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine.

The region's coastal resorts follow the sandy shoreline from Giulianova, past lively Pescara, to Vasto. But inland areas are still very rural, with medieval villages, Roman ruins and wild countryside. One third of the region is designated national parkland and, in the winter, skiing proves as much of a draw as the beaches do in summer.
