Overview

Chieti is a town located on a high plain, just 15 kilometers from the Adriatic sea. It is situated between the Alento torrent and the Pescara Valley, offering beautiful panoramic views of the Gran Sasso, the Maiella, and the hills that lead towards the sea.

The province of Chieti is predominantly a hilly and mountainous area, located between the Adriatic sea to the east and the Maiella chain to the northwest. The region is extensively cultivated with olive trees and vineyards, producing celebrated wines and extra-virgin olive oil. Historically, the province was called "Citeriore," as it was situated to the right of the Pescara river and was referred to as "citra" in Latin, meaning "this side" with reference to Naples, the capital of the kingdom. The Pescara river separated it from the province of Teramo, the Apennine Mountains from the province of L'Aquila, and the right shore of the Sangro and the Valicella of the Varrino from Molise. The territory includes mountainous features, the group of the Maiella, and 72 km of steep and rocky coast, along the Adriatic sea.

Chieti is home to numerous important works of architecture, including the gothic portals of the Churches of S. Antonio Abate, S. Chiara, S. Francesco al Corso, and S. Domenico. Among the non-religious buildings of note, there are several fine palazzi such as Palazzo Marinetti-Bianchi, the Collegio degli Scolopi, and Palazzo Majo.

Chieti also houses several important historical archives, including those of the county council, the state, and the archbishopric. The town boasts three museums of significant interest: the National Archaeological Museum, The Museum of Civitella, and the C. Barbella Art Museum.

“I am a travel agent with All About Honeymoons and I would highly recommend Italy Vacation Specialists. Jessica was wonderful in helping us plan in a last minute anniversary vacation during high season without any issues. She even checked on our clients while on vacation to make sure things were going well. I plan on using them again soon for all my future bookings!”

“In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists. Being a travel agent and in the business, I know how complicated organizing travel arrangements can be in Italy and the IVS team took a huge burden off of me! I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n”

“I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying!

They know”

“This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place”

“In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the sh”
