I stayed at this hotel and was really satisfied. The structure is welcoming, rooms are clean and well‑maintained, staff are kind, helpful, and always attentive to guests’ needs. The location is great and the atmosphere is pleasant. Everything was organized with care and professionalism, making the stay relaxing and enjoyable. It’s definitely a positive experience that I recommend to anyone looking for a home‑like hotel; I will return for sure.

The hotel has a truly unique setup and sits in an ideal spot for anyone wanting to explore the Majella. From the moment we arrived, the owners and every staff member were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, packed with fresh products that were prepared on the spot. We also dined at their restaurant/pizzeria: the dishes were great, the outdoor area beautiful, and we were treated to a lovely glass of wine from the house. A special mention for the complimentary suite upgrade they offered us. The room was spacious, clean, and featured the remarkable detail of a visible rock wall. Unfortunately, that same feature made the room a bit damp, with a slight cellar‑like smell and a few small mold spots on the rock surface. Because we stayed only one night, I didn’t request a room change, but for a longer stay I would probably choose a different accommodation. Overall, a positive experience that I would recommend, just be sure to pick the room type that best suits your needs. The room’s air quality and the window‑door didn’t ventilate the space well enough.

I spent three wonderful days wandering the Majella with my family, and Cinzia welcomed us in the best way, guiding us on every activity. The hotel is in a fantastic location at the foot of the Balzolo, completely carved into the rock, a village with an incredible view. I was very satisfied, nothing to add.

In response to the hotel’s reply, your answer contains many inaccuracies, and I don’t have time to refute each one, so I’ll be brief: the croissants were leftover not because there were many, but because they struggled to eat one each, as they were empty! I never said I love fruit tarts, only homemade ones. Aside from the fact that 3/4 were left over and not just a small piece (as you claim), because it was terrible and I’m used to better, the tart itself was clearly a discount item; if it hadn’t been, and you had made it, I would have to conclude that making tarts is not your strong suit. Departure: the hall (shall we call it that?) never had anyone, and when we left, we weren’t seen because you were never there. Doors: you are huge liars, the bathroom and room 104 doors were extremely stiff, and you must know that, not just pushing as you say: it really took a craftsman to open them, you lie if you deny it. You need more self‑criticism and honesty, especially since reading other reviews, it seems many don’t shine at all. Triple with a crib paid 162 euros per night was a disaster: the room was really ugly with one tiny window, constant presence of flies, defective entrance and bathroom doors (opening them required immense force), very long window curtains that the child tripped on, bathroom without soap or kit, breakfast was awful, there were two items of the same number, a discount tart (I pointed this out to the person managing breakfasts, who promised to make a homemade tart the next morning, but we found the tart leftover from the previous day), 4 stars??? Unfortunately we didn’t stay at all. For us it was terrible, terrible, terrible.

Special hotel in an exceptional little village, a bit beyond expectations. The layout and design of the hotel were made from a cave.
