Independent in Campo Imperatore from AU$155

"What an absolute treat. Wonderfully friendly staff (that spoke English, which we appreciated), very nice room that was clean and well-appointed, and an excellent breakfast buffet made this one of our favorite stops on a recent Italian road trip. Wish we could have stayed a few more days!"

"This lovely villa is set in the most beautiful surroundings and can accommodate a large family or groups of friends easily. It's very well equipped with everything you will need for a great stay. The wonderful neighbour Dina is on hand to deal with any issues or questions and makes you feel very welcome. She went out of her way to help us and we were very touched by her kindness. We recommend local restaurant La Locanda in Civitella Casanova where the food is consistently fabulous."

"Smack bang in the middle of the old town, situated just in the pedestrianised area. Given the location, there is no parking, but we had no problems finding free parking within a 3 minute walk. (I'd recommend a car so that you can visit outlying towns / villages/ mountains.) The hotel does a good continental breakfast between 7 and 10. L'Aquila has plenty of options for bars, restaurants etc."

"The breakfast buffet was varied and beyond the usual 4 item continental type. Eggs and bacon in a warming dish, cereal, yogurt and fresh fruit. There were toastable ham and cheese sandwiches and hot and room temperature pastries and cakes. And of course a coffee bar with a gifted barista. "

"Very friendly, central town area."

"This hotel is in the most scenic location we have stayed in, the staff are really friendly and accommodating the outdoor pool and jacuzzi was fabulous and the onsite restaurant provided some amazing meals. Really looking forward to returning for another visit"

"The property has a great mix of historic grandeur with the convenience of a modern updated bathroom, lovely grounds, and an energetic staff. Marble floors, painted ceilings, and spotless."

"This property has everything you need , the staff are all kind and helpful, the rooms are very comfortable and have all you require. We were sad to leave. The on site parking was safe and secure. A walk uphill and you are in the old town with a map and walking tour supplied by the Hotel. The breakfast was generous and tasty with helpful staff present. I thoroughly recommend the Hotel and would happily book it again. "

"A once in a lifetime experience to stay in the gloriousky restored riooms of the Albergo Diffuso set in the amazing project that is San Stefano ehich hss breathed life back into a deserted village. Wonderful mountain counteyside all around. And some goof foid in thr restaurants too!"
