The small municipality of Petacciato, which is situated in the province of Campobasso, is a tiny resort of the Adriatic Coast with 3.500 inhabitants. It rises on the top of a sweet hill which slopes down to the sea, and boasts breathtaking views over the Majella massif, the Gargano peninsula and the Tremiti Islands.

Hotels in Petacciato, which are situated a short distance from shaded pinewood forests, natural dunes and the sea, boast modern furnishings and comfortable bedrooms which are able to suit even guests' most demanding requirements. The local guest houses are idyllically set just in the heart of enchanting landscapes which are punctuated with outstanding natural beauties and historical sites. Petacciato's charming farm houses, which are surrounded by flourishing olive groves, cornfields and sunflowers, give guests the possibility to taste genuine local staples while enjoying sweeping views over the sea.

The city's most representative sacred building is the Church of St. Rocco, which is dedicated to the local patron saint. Both the apses and the walls of the adjoining bell tower bear witness to the fact the original structure had been realized according to the canons of the Romanesque architectural style.
The central square is dominated by the Castle or Ducal Palace, which is a typical example of the medieval military architecture; it still retains the ancient drawbridge, battlements and arches. Extensive restoration works altered the aspect of the original building, which now appears as an elegant Renaissance-style palace.
The coastline is commanded by the ruins of Petacciato's Tower, which features square base and pyramidal structure. The lovers of nature will have the possibility to admire the local coastal dunes, explore the lush Marinelle pinewood forest and bathe in the crystal-clear waters of the sea.
