Loreto Aprutino — Castello Chiola & Uliveti
Abruzzo
Loreto Aprutino has built its reputation on centuries of olive oil production, and the medieval castle at its centre, now partly a hotel, looks out over the surrounding terraced groves toward the Gran Sasso and Majella ranges on clear days. Farm lanes lead out through the olive terraces below the castle.
