Italy family activity holiday - Majella National Park
At 810m altitude, this little mountain village is in a superb position, with stunning south-facing views over the gorge to Monte Amaro (2793m), Monte Morrone (2061m) and the lush Orta valley in between. The village has only been connected to the outside world since the 1970s; until then it had no electricity, and no road. Now the 80 or so inhabitants still work the land and vegetable gardens, graze their flocks and gather their winter fuel from the high mountain woodlands.
The village is served by mobile suppliers selling fruit and vegetables, bread, meat and cheese, and there is an excellent restaurant and bar "Il Cervo". Italians come from afar to dine here at weekends. We highly recommend trying the ravioli al cervo (with venison sauce), and the arrosticini (tiny cubes of local lamb on skewers).
Decontra is ideally situated for walking, with many routes setting out from the village itself. You can embark on challenging full day summit bids, potter for an hour to a glorious picnic spot, or anything in between. Choose between high mountains, upland meadows or deep gorges.
