The property is located about 1,500 meters from the centre of Pescasseroli. Recently renovated in mountain style, with warm and welcoming atmosphere, the result of a perfect union between local and Scottish traditions, is an ideal base for discovering the Abruzzo National Park and its extraordinary flora and fauna.
The fauna of the Park offers examples of exceptional value, with species that alone could justify the existence of the protected area.After years of intolerance and persecution, it is now fully protected, thanks to both educational and protection works. carried out by the Park Authority in recent years.
It is not easy for visitors to spot animals, because they are mostly elusive, elusive and circumspect, perhaps as a reminder of the negative experience with humans. However, in some seasons of the year and in particular circumstances (tranquility, silence and respect for the environment), it is also possible to observe the most spectacular and representative animals of the Park, such as the Abruzzo chamois, the Marsican brown bear, the wolf , the deer and the golden eagle. Today the Park is home to a great variety of
animals that once occupied a much larger range in the Apennines: 60 species of mammals, 300 of birds, 40 of reptiles, amphibians and fish, and many species of insects, including important endemics.
“In the marvelous green oasis that today constitutes the Abruzzo National Park, the visitor finds delighted and delighted with a great wealth of plants, a superb luxuriance of vegetation.”
With these words, the illustrious botanist Romualdo Pirotta celebrated the value of the flora of the Park’s mountains at the beginning of the last century.

Overall, it is possible to list about 2,000 species of higher plants without considering mosses, lichens, algae and fungi.
