Villa unifamiliare in Pescina

The cluster sits in the Fucino basin, a broad enclosed plain ringed at short distance by the central Apennines, with the Velino-Sirente mountains to the north and the Abruzzo massifs visible around the basin. It is close to the former bed of Lake Fucino, now drained farmland, which defines the local landscape. The edge of the Sirente-Velino Regional Natural Park is within this area around Pescina and the slopes north of the plain. The nearest ski lifts are at Ovindoli on Monte Magnola, roughly 35-40 minutes by road, and Campo Felice is farther. Avezzano is the nearest larger town, with rail links, hospitals and the main services for the Marsica area. Pescina nearby is known as the birthplace of Ignazio Silone and for the tower of its medieval centre. The area is known for irrigated agriculture on the reclaimed Fucino plain, especially vegetables and potatoes.
