Rocca San Giovanni

Rocca San Giovanni, a historic hamlet which is part of the Circuit of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, stands on a rocky hill overlooking the splendid Costa dei Trabocchi riviera. The village, founded in the 11th century, has a long and important history, of which are many interesting memories in its churches, palaces, Norman walls built in 1061 even before the Normans conquered England in 1066, and other buildings, with an old town going back to the 1300s, worth exploring.

Rocca San Giovanni has a series of small beaches and countless coves with a turquoise and transparent sea. They are considered the most lovely on the Costa dei Trabocchi and among the best beaches in the entire Abruzzo region. Rocca San Giovanni was awarded the Blue Flag eco-label, as well as winning recognitions from the Italian environmental association Legambiente, for the purity of its waters.

Rocca San Giovanni’s largest, most frequented and best equipped beach is in the locality Foce, and has a mainly pebbly shoreline that stretches for over 600 meters between the ancient village of Vallevò, which also has a beach, and Punta Torre. The most evocative and best known is the Trabocco Punta Cavalluccio (‘little horse’) beach, mostly sandy, 30 metres long and 4 wide, with a high sea stack called the ‘Scoglione’ (big rock), similar to the more famous “faraglioni” in the island of Capri, and dominated by the imposing promontory rising up behind it and lining the whole bay.

To the north are the white pebble beaches of Vallegrotte and the Balena. The sea is very beautiful, blue, crystalline and with sloping and mostly sandy bottoms everywhere, ideal for swimming and diving. Further south is the Punta Punciosa beach. Reaching the beaches is easy by taking the Statale 16 road and then the Rocca San Giovanni exit.

The Costa dei Trabocchi, which is the maritime area of Rocca San Giovanni, as well as of Ortona, Marina di San Vito Chietino, Fossacesia Marina, Torino di Sangro and Casalbordino, is rich in hamlets and seaside resorts, and is characterised by a series of inlets and coves among cliffs, rocks and rugged shores. The charm of this stretch of coastline is also due to its scents, carried by olive trees, pines, brooms, oranges, medlars and wild fennel, typical of the area.

Nearby is the walled town of Lanciano, with its Sanctuary of the Eucharistic Miracle and a cathedral dating back to 1389.

Marina di San Vito Chietino, among the most picturesque seaside resorts of Abruzzo, a bit reminiscent of Cinque Terre villages, is at the foot of a rocky spur commanding the Adriatic Sea, dominated by the beautiful village of San Vito Chietino, placed on top of the spur. On its long shoreline, Blue Flag 2014, are both fine sand and pebble beaches and coves, lapped by a crystalline and transparent sea and overlooked by gigantic sandstone cliffs frequented by divers and snorkelers. The area is well equipped but not overcrowded with tourists.

On a promontory, between orange groves and brooms is the Eremo Dannunziano, a peaceful corner immersed in natural beauty, the Hermitage of the great early-19th-century poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, where he loved to spend long periods. Recommended is also in San Vito Chietino the wild and hidden beach known as Calata Turchino, so called for the colour of its waters reminiscent of the sky, with spectacular sea.

We are now on the southern coast of Abruzzo.

Fossacesia Marina, awarded with the Blue Flag, is close to the Romanesque Basilica of San Giovanni in Venere, built before the 1200s.
