Discover Spineta: culture, horseback riding, and forest

Casa Rosata on Via Spineta

Casa Rosata is located in Oricola on Via Spineta. By car, you can reach the house via the A24 Roma–L’Aquila and the Carsoli-Oricola exit. By train, the journey is via Oricola-Pereto station on the Roma–Sulmona–Pescara line. This gives you two different ways to reach Casa Rosata: by road via the motorway and exit, or by train via the station mentioned above. Check the current timetable if you plan to travel by train.

Cultural experiences and courses

Casa Rosata offers the experience of an “Agriturist Culturale.” In a course, participants can get hands-on with basic work repairing cracks, holes, and areas of peeling paint. The program lists courses in July, August, and September; check the specific dates before your trip. The cultural experience and practical participation are distinct areas of focus. If you would like to take part in repair work yourself, plan around the course date; the “Agriturist Culturale” experience is a separate cultural offering.

A historical cultural reference

On September 19, 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.” This historical event complements the practical course with an example of a debate on social issues.

Equestrian sports in Oricola

There are several specific equestrian sports connections in Oricola. Centro Ippico Il Cavaliere in Le Pantane offers a riding school. In addition, A.D.S. Equites Carsoli was registered in Oricola in May 2026; its listed disciplines are Western riding, cross-country, and working equitation. A riding school and several named equestrian disciplines thus provide distinct points of reference. If you are interested in horseback riding, you can distinguish between the lessons offered by Centro Ippico and these listed disciplines.

Civita: history and forest

Part of the archaeological site of the ancient city of Carsioli is located in Civita, a district of Oricola. Civita is also a gateway to the Bosco di Sesera. Here, you can combine two different interests: the archaeological site evokes the history of the ancient city, while the Bosco di Sesera offers a connection to the forest. If you plan to visit the Bosco, check access conditions in advance.

Choose your holiday apartment based on your travel interests

When searching for a holiday apartment in Spineta, you can weigh the themes according to the kind of trip you have in mind. Are you more interested in taking a cultural course, equestrian sports, or combining ancient history with the forest? If you are traveling with several people, comparing everyone’s interests can help you decide what to focus on during your stay. You can then choose which places to include and which route to Casa Rosata best suits your plans.
