Discover Spineta: Culture, Courses and Getting There

The Civita district of Oricola has its own archaeological and landscape connections. Whether you are more interested in courses and culture, horse riding, or the historical and landscape context makes a difference when planning your trip.

Casa Rosata: Culture and Courses

At Casa Rosata, you can experience an “Agriturist Culturale.” The courses are offered in July, August and September; check in advance which date suits your travel plans. During a course, participants can take part in practical work on repairing cracks and holes and treating areas of flaking paint. If this hands-on aspect is particularly important to you, ask specifically about the relevant course rather than simply making general plans to visit.

On 19 September 2015, the debate “Il Valore dell’Associazionismo” was held at the Teatro Bruno Tescari in Casa Rosata. The title can be translated as “The Value of Associations” and indicates the subject of this historical event.

Getting There and Finding Your Way

To reach Casa Rosata by car, take the A24 Roma–L’Aquila and exit at Carsoli-Oricola. The nearest rail access is Oricola-Pereto station on the Roma–Sulmona–Pescara railway line. If you are travelling by train, check the current timetable before setting off.

Separately, Via Spineta meets Via Tiburtina Valeria at a roundabout near a motorway exit. If you are travelling by car, check the exact address of your destination against your route; the directions via the Carsoli-Oricola exit refer to the journey to Casa Rosata.

Horse Riding in Oricola

The Centro Ippico Il Cavaliere in Le Pantane, Oricola, offers a riding school. If horse riding is a key part of your trip, check directly with the centre about visits and arrangements before adding the activity to your itinerary as a firm plan.

Civita: Carsioli and Bosco di Sesera

Part of the archaeological site of the ancient city of Carsioli lies in the Civita district of Oricola. Civita is also described as an access point to Bosco di Sesera. Two different interests therefore come together here: the archaeological connection to the ancient city and the landscape of the forest. If you are planning a specific trip to Bosco di Sesera, check the current trail conditions in advance.

Choose a Hotel Based on Your Destination

If your main reason for travelling is a course or the cultural experience at Casa Rosata, the road and rail access described for that destination is relevant. For the riding school in Le Pantane or a visit to Civita, however, the specific destination address matters. This way, you will not automatically apply the directions to Casa Rosata to other locations.

First decide which purpose of your trip matters most, then consider the hotel’s location. Comparing the accommodation address carefully with your planned destination will help you plan a journey that suits your stay.
