Pretoro

Located at 560 meters elevation, Pretoro spreads across a steep hillside on the eastern side of the Maiella mountains in Abruzzo region.

Archaeological discoveries near Fonte Tasca indicate human settlements dating back to the Bronze Age, while the fortified village emerged around 1200 CE.

The village maintains its woodworking tradition due to the surrounding beech forests, producing handcrafted items that represent local craftsmanship.

Pretoro offers access to both winter sports at Passo Lanciano-La Majelletta ski area and the Adriatic Sea beaches within a 20-minute drive.

Seven distinct quarters of the old town center participate in an itinerant festival during the Night of San Lorenzo, featuring local food and music.
