Location is great, close to the cable car station and main square of Fonte Cerretto. Our room was spacious, bathroom well appointed, terrace is a great bonus. Breakfast was nice only fruit options were slim. They generously provided water for our flasks every day. Great value for money. We did not try the pool ( it was not that hot) but it is rather on a small side so more likely to be great asset if you travel with kids.

This hotel is exceptional, in terms of location, comfort and value for money. The friendliness of the staff deserves a special mention; in particular Alfredo, who went above and beyond to help us catch our train on a public holiday: what a star - we truly appreciated your help!

“A beautiful, peaceful getaway. Highly recommended.”
The owner and staff are really friendly and helpful. The evening menu in the restaurant was very limited, probably due to being off season, but the food was exceptional. Breakfast was beautifully laid out and a good selection of sweet and savoury was provided. Location is superb, a couple of hundred metres from the cable car. We look forward to returning during the winter months.

“Fantastic hotel. Highly recommended.”
Really excellent stay at this hotel. Staff were all extremely friendly, room was comfortable, location was great for a day on the slopes of Gran Sasso but what sets this hotel apart was the restaurant, which was simply superb. First class cuisine in a wonderful setting. Would definitely return.

“Had a lovely stay”
Breakfast and dinner were very good. We had booked two rooms, one room was excellent with a balcony the other room a little disappointing as it had a high window that you could not see out of, so felt a bit claustrophobic.
