The Province of L'Aquila (Provincia dell'Aquila) is the largest, most mountainous and least densely populated province of the Abruzzo region of Southern Italy. It comprises about half the landmass of Abruzzo and occupies the western part of the region. It has borders with the provinces of Teramo to the north, Pescara and Chieti to the east, Isernia (in Molise region) to the south and Frosinone, Rome and Rieti (in Lazio region) to the west. Its capital is the city of L'Aquila. The Province of L'Aquila includes the highest mountains of the Apennines (Gran Sasso, Maiella and Velino-Sirente), their highest peak, Corno Grande, the high plain of Campo Imperatore, and Europe's southernmost glacier, the Calderone. The province's major rivers are the Aterno-Pescara, Sangro, Liri, Salto, and the Turano; its major lakes are Lago Scanno and Lago Barrea. It once included the largest lake on the Italian peninsula, Lago Fucino, which was drained in one of the 19th century's largest engineering projects. The lake basin is today a flourishing agricultural area and an important technological district.

Fattoria Valle Magica is a unique day out for anyone wanting to escape the stress of the city to gain freedom, space and fresh air. We rear rare breed donkeys, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens (and more), while focusing on ethical, ecological and sustainable farming methods. As a visitor, you can take our informative tour of the farm, meet and learn about each breed we keep and the products we make. If you want to enjoy a fuller experience, you can combine the tour with lunch, comprising of a tagliere of our salumi, sotto oli plus cheese and more. This is followed by a mixed grill of farm reared meats for you to cook on your allocated BBQ (charcoal & tools provided). Your lunch including 1/4 liter of local wine can be enjoyed at your private, open-air but shaded table. Visit our website to book your visit or one of our experiences including donkey trekking, aperitivo and more. In addition we have farm produced products you can buy at the farm to take home with you.
Actually visited in Aug 2018. Fascinating farm, preserving old breeds, using natural pest-control techniques. I’m no farmer, but it all looked good to me. And the food was excellent. A good day out.
