Penne, known as the city of art, Citta D’Arte, is a unique yet typical Italian town. Found in the Abruzzo Region - centre of Italy and east of Rome - Penne is a delightful and dynamic place. With around 12,500 inhabitants, the town is intimate and inviting. Consistently mild temperatures due to its altitude of 435m above sea-level make for a pleasant stay all year round. Penne is approximately 41km away from Pescara Airport and a leisurely drive through the rolling hills and olive groves of Pianella. Furthermore, Penne is only 40 minutes away from the white-sandy beaches of the Adriatic. With ruins that date back to the Bronze Age and the important Archaeological Museum at the Duomo, Penne is one of the best kept secrets of the Abruzzo Region.
