Search Castles in Pietracamela

"This hotel is a memorable trip back in time. Sextantio purchased and renovated 30 rooms in the village, each one with a different character, charm, and challenge. The rooms were restored with basic amenities, but it is easy to imagine the simple life people lived centuries ago. The atmosphere is reinforced with candlelight and fireplaces. Upon entering the historic dining room or the Cantinone, you may be motivated to take pictures prior to eating your sumptuous breakfast or relaxing with an afternoon drink. Although the evening meal was acceptable, be sure to check out other restaurants in the village that offer local menu options. Our family group was made up of senior citizens (70-80), so we experienced a few challenges during our stay. The cobblestone lanes can be slick, even when dry, so be sure to where sturdy shoes with hiking soles, and walk carefully. Parking is distant from the hotel complex, so ask for assistance when moving your luggage. The bathroom areas in some rooms are very small and minimally lit. Given this historic inconvenience, we weren’t motivated to shower. The village is still recovering from the earthquake of 2009, so cranes and construction crews provide a sobering reminder of the courage and commitment it takes to preserve ancient communities. The dramatic beauty of area mountains is attractive for hikers, but you’ll be sharing dirt roads with bikers as you seek solitude. This was a memorable stay overall, thanks to Sextantio. "

"Unique experience "

"The room was beautiful and clean. The WiFi was slow so would not be a good place to try and work. The staff was kind. We would stay there again. "

"Tutto perfetto"

"We had a great stay here! Room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had. The lady at reception was so helpful and made us feel welcome. Definitely would stay here again."

"Good location and great accommodations for the money"

"This place is a one of a kind and the owner Franchesco, his sister and son Damiano will treat you amazingly well and make you feel like family. I have been to over 60 countries and uncountable hotels, however, this I will never forget and is on the top of my list. Rooms and super clean and has everything. Don't miss it out!!!"

"We were very pleased with the hotel. Rooms are spacious and private - each room has a private entrance in a "condo/townhome" type of setting. Our room was large with a balcony and french doors in the bedroom and bathroom. Nespresso machine with coffee pods in the room too. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the service impeccable. The hotel also has top notch restaurant if you don't feel like driving to town one night."

"Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely gentleman ! The hotel has lots of parking and is surrounded by incredible views. Our host chatted to us and gave us everything we needed and recommended some incredible things to do. Our room was very clean and comfy with a small balcony that was quiet and peaceful, the bathroom had a bath with shower attachment and everything you would need to have a comfortable stay ! Breakfast was well stocked and everyone was happy and very helpful. A pleasant environment to be greeted to in the morning! The only negative thing I can say is that the air conditioning worked but wasn’t very cold. We arrived on a Sunday and most restaurants in the local area were closed (including the hotel) which was no issue as our host recommended many areas. We found a great traditional Arrosticini restaurant called Il Borgo close by. We visited the mountains and the Arrosticini restaurant in the mountains that was recommended to us and it was the highlight of our trip. This is the perfect place to stay to see the amazing Abruzzo region "
