This church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, "San Michele." The name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted—in paintings or as a statue—with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael, along with Raphael, Gabriel (and, according to some accounts, Uriel), is one of the three or four archangels who, according to our human understanding, hold the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their feast day in the liturgical calendar is September 29th.

The Adriatic Cycle Route runs along the coast, passing the edge of the Santo Stefano pine forest. Not far away is the mouth of the Sinello River, which flows into the Adriatic.

Between Fossacesia and Vasto, the Ciclovia Adriatica allows you to cycle constantly without motorized traffic and along the seashore. It is mostly flat and suitable for families and people with little experience on the pedals. Not far from here, moreover, there is the mouth of the Osento river in the Adriatic.

In Casalbordino they await the completion of the Via Verde of the Costa dei Trabocchi. The cycle/pedestrian path, opened in parts last year, will finally arrive in Casalbordino Lido.

The forest is made up of a series of progressively decreasing river terraces. The first is the one on which the farmhouse stands and is the one where forests have been deforested to make room for crops, it is also the largest and covers the entire Sinello valley. The second, at a difference in altitude of about 7 metres, is the one that hosts the current residual forest. In winter and spring it is often flooded and puddles form, while in the hottest months of the year the ground is completely dry. The next terrace is the one where the Sinello, when in flood, flows and hosts very heterogeneous vegetation. One meter below is the last terrace made up of the river bed made up of limestone and gravel. The climate of the forest is Mediterranean, the average temperature throughout the year is 16°, while the average temperature in July is 25° and in January 6°. The most important tree species are present on the second terrace and are the Cerro, the English oak, the white hornbeam and the ash. There are specimens of trees that reach 25 meters in height. Inside the forest and also in the part of the river that passes through it, a delicate ecosystem survives, in the waters of the Sinello we can find Brasche, Buttercups, Water Celery, Watercress. There are submerged colonies of vegetation that give the waters their characteristic blue-green colour. The fauna of the area is represented by the various migratory birds frequent in the temperate coastal areas, by foxes and badgers, as well as moles and hedgehogs.
