Vende indipendente - San Demetrio Ne' Vestini

The cluster sits on the L'Aquila basin under the Gran Sasso group, with the higher mass of the range visible and close to the north-east. The Aterno valley runs through this part of the basin. The area is inside the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park margin and close to the Sirente-Velino Regional Park, so the immediate setting is a mountain basin with protected Apennine slopes nearby. The nearest ski area is Campo Imperatore on Gran Sasso, roughly an hour by road depending on the access point and season. L'Aquila is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services, schools, hospitals and major monuments including the Basilica di Collemaggio and the Fontana delle 99 Cannelle. This part of inland Abruzzo is known for mountain pastures, saffron around Navelli, and stone villages damaged and rebuilt after the 2009 earthquake.
