Rustico in Cepagatti

The cluster is in the inland hills between the Pescara valley and the first ridges of the Apennines. The Pescara River runs nearby in the main valley to the north-east. Majella is the nearest named mountain mass visible in this part of the province, and the edge of Maiella National Park lies roughly within the wider 15 km range to the south-west around the Manoppello and Serramonacesca side. The nearest town of size is Chieti, with a substantial historic centre, services, shops and hospitals; Pescara is the main larger city for daily needs and transport but lies farther out on the coast. This part of inland Pescara province is known for olive groves, vineyards and hill villages on spurs above the valleys.
