Lucoli

Lucoli is a mountain village just a few kilometres from L'Aquila, on the northern edge of the Sirente Velino Regional Park. It is not a single town but a collection of small hamlets scattered among woods and meadows, which grew up around the Benedictine abbey of San Giovanni Battista, documented as early as 1077 and a national monument since 1902: inside, it preserves fifteenth-century frescoes and an ancient sixteenth-century organ. In winter, Lucoli is the gateway to Campo Felice, one of the most popular ski areas in the central Apennines, with downhill and cross-country slopes just a few minutes away by car. In summer, the same high plateaus become the starting point for excursions: from the Campo Felice area you climb to the Rifugio Vincenzo Sebastiani, from which trails lead to Lago della Duchessa, Punta Trento, Colle dell'Orso and the summit of Monte Velino. An ideal place for a mountain home to enjoy all year round, or for a second home to rent out to skiers and hikers. Le Case di Reno accompanies you from the first viewing right through to the deed of sale.
