You will be picked up in Rome (at 9am) for private transfer to the coastal city of Pescara . First stop? Your very own private villa for the afternoon, which has a breathtaking view and a pool just for the group. You’ll be welcomed by family and be introduced to an aperitivo, or really, a light lunch! It’s time to get to know one another and be at one with your surroundings and the group. Today is designed so you stop, take a deep breath, and be prepared for a week full of fun, emotions, food and incredible landscapes. You’ll then check-in to your centrally located hotel (which also has spa services) for a short rest before the big event at night. For the official welcome, your first evening is spent at Vincenzo’s Nonna’s house enjoying a hearty home cooked meal of authentic Abruzzo cuisine which she will prepare especially for you and some of the wonderful family members.

TIP: Unbutton your pants, it’s going to be a FEAST!
