What is Glamping?
We were first introduced to the concept of glamping whilst living in the UK. “Glamorous camping” is a recent phenomenon that combines the idea of becoming one with nature while still feeling luxurious. This marvellous idea it’s perfect for those who don’t feel comfortable with all the hassle that comes with traditional camping (I.e: forget about peeing on the grass, not very glamorous we think!).
We were pleasantly surprised this summer when we visited our beloved Abruzzo and found out that you can also do glamping in Abruzzo, get yourself immersed in the gorgeous ‘Campagna Italiana’ (Italian countryside), wake up surrounded by the fresher pure air and vineyards, all in the comfort of your wooden cabin. Keep reading and we will tell you more.
Cirelli Farm: Glamping experience in Abruzzo
Back in August, we visited Cirelli Farm Glamping, this is a brilliant new initiative by Francesco Cirelli Agricultural Farm and Vineyard. The farm and the vineyard are located in Treciminieri within the area of Teramo (one of the four regions that belong to Abruzzo). The Cirelli Glamping consists of two wooden cabins for up 3 and 4 people built right in front of the vineyards.
The drive from the Abruzzo Airport to Cirelli Farm Glamping will take you around 50 minutes (no public transport options available yet). The route during the last 10 minutes gets a bit tricky so we will encourage you to stay in touch with them so they can guide you through, it will be worth it.
After arrival, you will see the stunning view and vineyard straight away, as you walk through it to find your cabin. The two wooden cabins are fully equipped with everything you need to call this a glamorous experience, minus the wifi, (this is so you don’t feel tempted to catch up with your Netflix list!)
Here is a list of some of the things the cabins are equipped with, for the complete list and link to book the cabins follow this link Cirelli Farm Glamping:
- 1 double bed letto matrimoniale con lenzuola ed asciugamani.
- 1 fully equipped bathroom.
- 1 coffee bar with coffee machine and kettle.
- 1 fridge with the products from the Cirelli Farm Glamping, including wine and jam.
- 1 mezzanine with a single bed.
- 1 private terrace with a table, chairs, deckchair, and a folding chair.
- Air conditioning and heating are available (depending on the season).
- Breakfast is served in your cabin every morning.
The secret behind this project: details and dedication
On our visit to Cirelli Farm, we met Michela who gave us a warm welcome and a fantastic tour of her family project. First thing first, we just had to stand still for a few seconds and admire the stunning view and take some deep breaths. Nothing can beat the pure air of Abruzzo and the feeling of being totally immersed in beautiful vineyards.
Michaela showed us around every cabin when you can spot straight away the amount of detail and love behind this project. Nothing feels casual or improvised, everything is carefully planned with love for you to experience the best glamping experience.
At the end of the tour, we visited the place where the magic happens. We visited the wine cellar where the wines are produced in beautiful terracotta containers called amphora. This traditional method of producing wine goes back to ancient Greek and Roman times and results in a unique bio wine like no other you have tried before.
Planning your next glamping experience
We absolutely loved visiting this glamping site, the place is gorgeous and peaceful with stunning views and wine made there nearly right in front of you, from the vineyard to the glass, literally. Whether you’re planning on a romantic getaway or escape from the busy city’s lifestyle, we recommend this a perfectly suitable choice.
It’s also important to add that despite its more luxurious nature, this experience is not by any means less authentic than any other activity in the region. If anything you will feel more connected to Abruzzo than ever body, mind and soul.
We recommend planning your stay here with time in advance, as it’s a very intimate space and there are not a lot of cabins available. If you are thinking of experiencing the glamping experience, visit the Agricola Cirelli website for booking and more information. Don’t forget to mention you discovered them through this post at The City Next Door and you might get a special discount.
