Villalago: village character among mountains and lakes

Villalago is located in the Italian region of Abruzzo, in the province of L’Aquila. The place is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. Villalago therefore stands for a compact village base whose appeal lies in the atmosphere of the place and in the surrounding landscapes – not in the breadth of an urban destination.

Which accommodation base is suitable?

A holiday apartment in Villalago suits a travel idea in which a compact village base and the surrounding nature are more important than a broad urban offering. The accommodation can be viewed as a starting point for separately planned nature and landscape days. Anyone wishing to combine different excursion destinations should plan each route independently of the accommodation.
