You can cross a bridge over the lake, which is decorated with bricks with the names of the families who donated to its construction. There are a few restaurants along the water’s edge including the Hotel Del Lago restaurant which serves pasta, Panini and Abruzzo’s famous arrosticini (lamb skewers) where you can sit outside with a lovely view of the lake.Īlong the way to Lake Scanno, just outside the village of Villalago, we usually stop at the peaceful, blue waters of Lago di San Domenico. Many visitors choose to picnic on the many short stretches of pebble beaches. The magical, sparkling waters of the lake invite swimmers, rowers, canoeists, and pedalo rides. It’s only 45 minutes from the house and the views along the way are spectacular. Half of the fun of going to Lago di Scanno is the journey from Roccacasale to Scanno on the rocky the mountainous road through the Sagittario Gorge. This lake has become famous because it appears to be shaped like a heart if you are looking down on it from above. It is largely composed of peregrine falcons, hawks, owls, and eagles. There are plenty of ducks on the lake and other birdlife. Half of the lake is protected by the Abruzzo National Park and in the other half fishing (mostly of perch and trout) is controlled by the municipality of Villalago. Lago di Scanno is in the province of L’Aquila and is the largest natural lake in Abruzzo.
