Independent in Montagne della Duchessa Regional Nature Reserve from AU$115

"The room was great. Welcoming staff. There were 2 baskets of baked goods and a small fridge full of dairy products for breakfast. The room was clean in a great location "

"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."

"Beautiful hotel and grounds. The room is well appointed with very comfortable beds and bathrooms. Delicious breakfast options! Highly recommend!"

"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. "

"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"

"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. "

"Great place for a great price. The town is close to the autostrade and the parco nazionale lazio e molise. Very friendly staff"

"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!"

"Amazing staff, great location, I would return!"
