Acquasfranatara mountain hut

The Stazzo Acquasfranatara of Val Fondillo originates from the recovery of an old pastoral shelter and part of the strategic plan of the widespead shelter in the area of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. Recentely renovated it offer homely hospitality, caracterized by spacious dining room with a wood-burning stove and a loft that can accomodate 6 people.

A few steps from the structure, the fountain and the homonymus source garantee pure drinking water. It can be easily reached trought a superb walk that crosses the Fondillo valley with a enchanting glace on the area of Cacciagrande and Valle Jancino which constitute the first nucleus of the national park.

The shelter is open all year but, currently, is not managed according to the alpine model. So, if you want to use it you have to book and ask for the keys in our offices, or you can take part in our planned proposals. Overnight stays with dogs are not permitted.
