Overview

Set in a converted 13th-century monastery in central Sulmona, Grancia dei Celestini offers air-conditioned en suite rooms with TV, free Wi-Fi and a common terrace. A homemade sweet buffet breakfast is served daily. The classic rooms are located set on the 1st or 2nd floor with no lift. They all have a private entrance from the courtyard, while most face the Corso Ovidio main street and the town centre. Breakfast at Grancia dei Celestini is served from 7:30 to 10:00 in the breakfast room or on the courtyard during summer. Savoury produce is prepared on request at no extra charge. The highly appreciated sugared almonds can be purchased 500 metres away. The town’s cathedral and major squares are reachable on foot from the Corso Ovidio street, where the property lies.

The location was ideal, not far from the center. Breakfast served in the lovely courtyard. Also nice breakfast with fruit, yoghurt, croissants and eggs if you want on demand. Beautiful historical building.

Great location. Lovely structure. More TLC needed to keep it

Breakfast was lovely. No one was there to let us in. We had to wait in the street for 30 minutes. The courtyard was very dirty. It looked there had been some event and there were dirty glasses and litter. Bathroom not acceptable shower scary.

Medieval village stay

It’s in a great part of town as you can really soak up the atmosphere of being in a medieval village. Breakfast (coffee, juice, fruit and pastries) in the courtyard was just lovely way to start the day. Lovely host- so friendly and we got though English Italian language differences

Great Choice!

Lovely converted former convent in the old town. Very comfortable and spacious room. Good sized and variety breakfast served in a beautiful massive old hall in the morning. Very friendly welcome and service. - A great choice to stay in! Sulmona is a wonderful town/?city. Very laid back and relaxed. Very beautiful. Lots to see and do without having to do too much! Lots of excellent restaurants and cafes, but this is Italy! Seriously I was very sorry to have to leave both Grancia Del Celestini - and Sulmona. Definitely stay there, and consider staying longer!!

Amazing stay. Very good value for money. Beautiful and comfortable rooms, amazing staff

The Location of the B&B is amazing, close to public and paid parking, really central to the town. The staff was very welcoming, professional and nice. The room was very warm, comfortable and had all the services. Breakfast was amazing and plenty.

Air conditioning was not turned on in anticipation of our arrival and the temp was 40 degrees Celsius…we wanted to sleep after much travel and we’re not feeling well with such high temps - plus we were in the highest room with additional heat.

Monastry-B&B at the heart of Sulmona

Old monastry at the Corso Ovidio, the best place to be in Sulmona, and a very nice breakfast (the kind you'll rarely find getting into the south of Italy).

Lovely place in a lovely city

We were very happy to have picked Grancia dei Celestini for our 4 day stay in Sulmona. It is a lovely city and a good base to explore Abruzzen (although when we were here, there was lots of rainy weather and low hanging clouds so we could only see places below 900 meters). Antonio is a good host. Our room (the large 2-room one at the front of the building, with balcony) was very clean, comfortable, and decorated with attention to period and detail. Breakfast was served at the table and was ample - including freshly made eggs.
