Il Parco dei Poeti is located in the municipality of Cellino Attanasio, a hilltop village in the province of Teramo, panoramic and authentic, suspended between the Adriatic coast and the Gran Sasso mountains. It is an ideal destination for those who love intimate historic centres, open landscapes and a slower pace, perfect for a holiday of discovery.
To start discovering Cellino, we recommend the general guide by Valle delle Abbazie, the dedicated page on Abruzzo Turismo, the listing by the Province of Teramo and the official Comune di Cellino Attanasio page dedicated to the village.
Among the places worth looking for during your visit are the historic centre, the Church of Santa Maria La Nova, the tower and old walls, the ancient fountains and the former Church of Santo Spirito, now brought back to life as a cultural space and meeting point for the local area.
We have also added the official poster for Estate Cellinese 2026, with the calendar of events taking place between June and October in the municipality of Cellino Attanasio, including cultural happenings, local festivals, guided visits and special evening events.
You can keep it here as a quick reference during your stay: click on the image to open it in a larger format and read the full programme more easily.
From 20 June to 4 October, Cellino Attanasio will take part in Una Boccata d'Arte, a widespread initiative dedicated to contemporary art in Italian villages and designed to enhance the dialogue between places, communities and new artistic languages.
To explore the project linked to Cellino in more detail, you can also visit the page Cummar a fiure, well worth adding to the cultural experiences not to be missed during your stay at Il Parco dei Poeti.
To explore Cellino in greater depth, we recommend the content by Valle delle Abbazie, a very useful project for discovering the village and its wider context. From there you can learn more about the history of Cellino Attanasio, its traditions, festivals and local products, the dedicated audio guide and even a page with games and curiosities for children.
For an even more immediate listening experience, you can also open the La Valle delle Abbazie channel on Loquis, perfect to accompany a walk or a self-guided visit.
We also suggest Santo Spirito HUB, a space that is very active on social media and set to become increasingly central to the local cultural programme: today it hosts a tourist information point, activity areas, coworking and small events inside the former Church of Santo Spirito.
We have prepared a list of places well worth visiting near Il Parco dei Poeti. Atri is unmissable for its historic centre, public gardens and cathedral; you can also find updates and suggestions on this dedicated Facebook page.
The Calanchi di Atri are absolutely worth seeing, along with Silvi Alta and Montepagano, all ideal for a walk through history, panoramic views and charming Abruzzo scenery.
For families travelling with children, we suggest two simple and fun options: Aquapark di Tortoreto and the Adventure Park Cerrano in Pineto, perfect for spending a few hours outdoors.
To stay up to date with ideas, events and family outings in Abruzzo and nearby areas, you can also follow Mammadove mi porti Abruzzo e dintorni, a page that is constantly updated with new suggestions.
www.majellando.com offers all kinds of excursions for both adults and children. For nature-based experiences you can also contact info@ilbosso.com.
Among the recommended experiences we suggest the Gole di Fara San Martino, the Fuoriporto boat excursions in Roseto, including sunrise breakfast trips and sunset aperitifs, and the experiences offered by Masseria della Madonna in Pineto, including dawn concerts and horse-riding excursions.
Among the places we especially recommend is the Riserva del Cerrano in Pineto, ideal for anyone who loves the sea and protected coastal scenery. Near Atri, the Calanchi remain unmissable, while the inland countryside offers authentic views to enjoy at a slower pace, between walks, scenic viewpoints and small stops in the villages.
This selection is designed to help you build a tailor-made holiday, alternating relaxation, nature and discovery according to your own pace and interests.
