The best way to get to Introdacqua is to take the train to Sulmona (the closest town with a station). From Sulmona take a 15 minuet cab ride into Introdacqua.

• La Trota (The Trout) - not just fish. Some seriously good food. Bring your appetite but not much $.

Carlo will make you anything you wish, he is kind of like a genie! Beyond great food, seriously
