Perfect for a stay in Santo stefano!

Stunning! The property is like stepping back in time with a beautiful restuarant downstairs. And you can enjoy drinks in the sun out the front!

The residence is located in a strategic position for visiting the Gran Sasso National Park. Santo Stefano di Sessanio, one of the best-preserved medieval towns, is just a 5-minute walk away, while the highly regarded tourist attraction of the Castle of Rocca Calascio is easily reachable via a trail. The residence is housed in a 17th-century building, which is a plus. The staff is extremely kind and accommodated all our requests. The restaurant is excellent, the best we tried in the the region.

Fantastic setting just outside the medieval town centre and a fantastic and carefully renovated building. Easily accessible by car. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, although heavy on cakes and sweet breads. It would have been nice with some more protein options, such as cheeses and salami. Coffee was outstanding.

The room was nice, new and clean, but I would book at the restaurant again.

The breakfast itself was good, lots of options, but when we arrived they already took away most of the food because there were only 15 minutes left. Fortunately one of the waiters, took some stuff out for us and let us eat.

A place to live your Italian dream

A beautiful restored palazzo with an excellent restaurant serving “zero mile” local cuisine with produce sourced from neighbouring farms. Really excellent value for both the meal and room. Santo Stefano is one of the most picturesque villages in Abruzzi with walking trails in the National Park on your doorstep. Staff are warm and efficient.

Enchanting place

We all fell in love with the place and the owners, dog included. The apartments are very cute, rooms of a good size and matresses and pillows really comfortable. Blinds at all windows ensure complete darkness during sleep time. Bathrooms are modern even if tiny (which is a good thing as they preserved as much as possible the original features of the rooms even if they are all fitted with a bathroom). Restaurant in the beautiful rooms of and old stable serves a simple menu with outstanding quality of food. Breakfast is very good too and staff helpful and super kind. Location is absolutely perfect, easy to park nearby, a couple of minutes walk to the old town centre but also on the main road for our daily adventures. We will be back!
