An old convent room in a peaceful spot with an outstanding view. Staff delightful. Breakfast abundant. Will return.

“Wonderful”

We loved all

“Perfect for the National Park in this part of Abruzzo”

This is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting the National Park in this part of Abruzzo. We received a very warm welcome and the breakfast was excellent.

“Fabulous old building in a stunning location”

I loved the location of this hotel. It has a beautiful terraced garden with fabulous mountain scenery. The hosts were very friendly and informative. We ate from the bar menu one evening and enjoyed the local lentil soup, followed by mixed hams and cheeses and freshly baked focaccia.

“A truly memorable experience in a magical part of Italy”

It is a wonderfully maintained complex with a sublime view of the mountains wrapped around it, staffed by men and women for whom no request is too difficult. Our stay was a memorable experience we are determined to repeat.

“Restful stay that one that I would recommend”

“A beautiful location for a relaxing stay”

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and we sat out in the courtyard to eat. The room we had was a very comfortable split level space with everything we needed, and the building itself is located in a beautiful & peaceful location overlooking the valley.

“Perfect location to explore the wonderful region of the Abruzzi.”

Perfect location, very friendly staff and enjoyable breakfast.

“Restful retreat in the hills”

Peaceful oasis on the hills! Everyone in the Convento was so helpful and kind. The view is exceptional, overlooking the old gardens and down into the valley. Breakfast was particularly impressive with a huge range of options including local meats and cheese, all very fresh. I loved that almost nothing was in plastic compared to some of the places we stayed on our trip. I've seen other commenters disappointed in the 'upkeep' of the gardens but I'm happy to see they've turned most of the old gardens into a rewilding project for a butterfly garden. Much nicer than manicured lawns in my opinion!

Staff was amazing, breakfast excellent and they made drinks for us in the afternoon and recommended restaurants nearby. Very quite and calm. Our room was cozy and warm even when super cold outside.

“Wonderful and calm stay where I would return anytime i would go back”

Location is just above the village and not too far from the Campo Imperatore from where you can make wonderful hikes. We took inclusive dinner and dinner was exactly as it should be, fresh, tasteful and good portions. The place is very calm and away from busy streets. Also close by are the wonderful places Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Calascio and Castel del Monte. certainly a good spot to explore Campo and south of it.

The hotel is a very nice old historical structure, with a garden to relax and drink a wine with a superb view of the valley below. It is a quiete place aside of any citie or noise with some charming villas neaby for a dinner.

“Wish we had stayed longer!”

Beautiful place far away from everything A real joy to find absolute peace and quiet! A place infused with history And the most sweet and wonderful ladies running the place.

“Wide open spaces & views of the countryside, with spacious rooms & a feeling of going back in time.”

The lovely view from my bedroom window and the amazing limestone church attached to the convent with its incredible frescoes. Very peaceful location. We were also given the marvellous advice of a suggestion to visit the Oratory of San Pellegrino and the church of Santa Maria in nearby Bominaco. It's a hidden gem of Abruzzo filled to the rafters with very early medieval frescoes. Well worth the little detour. Thanks for this wonderful advice!

“Highly recommended”

A building full of character, excellent breakfast and welcoming staff.

“Great location, good value accommodation but gardens a real disappointment.”

Location was ideal for exploring the amazing Gran Sasso. Staff were first class - very friendly and helpful. The gardens, which feature highly in their publicity were almost totally neglected and extremely disappointing. It turns out they are owned by the national park, not the hotel, and their upkeep is a disgrace.
