Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Abruzzo

Abruzzo — a region worth exploring

Abruzzo is home to three national parks — Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga, Maiella, and Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise — making it one of the greenest regions in Europe, with roughly a third of its territory under environmental protection. From the 2,912-metre peak of Corno Grande to the sandy shores of the Trabocchi Coast, the landscape shifts dramatically within short distances. The drive from Pescara on the Adriatic Sea to L'Aquila in the mountainous interior covers just 105 km, yet takes you from sea level to over 700 metres in altitude. Heading south along the coast, Vasto to Termoli is a scenic 40 km stretch dotted with traditional fishing platforms known as trabocchi. Inland, the medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio sits within the Gran Sasso massif, while the town of Scanno, nestled beside its heart-shaped lake, offers narrow streets and a timeless atmosphere. Abruzzo's roads wind through river valleys, across high plateaux like Campo Imperatore, and along quiet coastal stretches — all well suited to exploring by campervan or motorhome. Whether you want to hike in the Maiella mountains, swim along the Costa dei Trabocchi, or simply enjoy local arrosticini at a roadside stop, this region rewards those who take their time. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across Abruzzo, choosing from a range of vehicles that suit your group size and travel style. The peer-to-peer model means more choice, more flexibility, and a genuinely personal start to your trip.

Best time to visit

Abruzzo is a year-round destination, with each season offering something distinct. Late spring and early summer — May to June — bring wildflower meadows across Campo Imperatore and comfortable temperatures for both coast and mountains. The Giostra Cavalleresca in Sulmona, held each July, is a colourful medieval jousting event worth planning around. Autumn is ideal for food lovers, with truffle and wine festivals across the hill towns. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa during shoulder months often means better availability and more competitive peer-to-peer pricing from local owners. Book ahead for July and August along the Abruzzo coast, as it is the most popular season for seaside trips.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Abruzzo

Abruzzo's main motorway is the A14 Adriatica, running along the coast, with the A24 and A25 connecting to Rome through the Apennine mountains. Tolls apply on all three and can be paid by cash, card, or Telepass device at toll booths. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are classified differently and pay higher toll rates. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes are 130 km/h on motorways and 110 km/h on dual carriageways, dropping to 100 km/h and 80 km/h respectively for heavier vehicles. Mountain sections on the A24 and A25 include long tunnels and steep gradients, so check your vehicle height before setting off.

Guillaume was super helpful. He left games in the car for our two young kids, and was very responsive in the lead up to booking. The van was great. A few things were broken awaiting fixes, but Guillaume walked us through these on pickup, and ensured there were solutions during our trip to reduce the impact. Thanks!

We visited Mallorca for four days, and it was the best decision to discover the island with this camper van. The van was really well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay at beautiful spots — including a portable chemical toilet, a water tank with a camping shower to wash off the sand after the beach, a camping stove, and plastic cutlery. Communication with Álvaro was great throughout our stay. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had a nice trip and even provided us with extra towels and goggles for the beach. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s an older car. This gave the trip exactly the charm we were looking for, but the odometer and fuel gauge did have some issues from time to time. Thank you so much, Álvaro! Whenever we come back to Palma, we will definitely rent your van again. 😊
