I can't say enough good things about Stella CasaBono. The location is beautiful in the historic center of Sulmona directly across from the Chiesa di San Francesco della Scarpa. Our suite had a bedroom and a living room. Both had large windows that opened onto balconies where we could see the church and view the beautiful street that the hotel is located on. Despite our very limited ability to speak Italian, our hosts communicated with ease, were extremely warm and friendly, and took incredible care of us. Breakfast in their cafe was outstanding, fresh, delicious, and they were able to easily accommodate a vegan in our party. The rooms are beautiful. The location is outstanding. The breakfast is incredible. The hosts are wonderful. We honestly hope we get to go back someday soon. Thank you Stella CasaBono!!

We loved our stay at this B&B. Everything from the location, to the room and service. What made our stay even more fabulous is Giuseppe, who made sure we had a really great time in Abruzzo. He gave great recommendations for the restaurants and gelateria in town, same for our day trips to S. stefano and Rocca Calascio. I was a little nervous about parking at Sulmona and driving in Abruzzo but with Giuseppe’s help everything turned out smoothly. The location of this B&B was so awesome. I would recommend this B&B to everyone.

Our stay was wonderful - the rooms are comfortable, the breakfast excellent and the location great. But what really sets this B&B apart from all others we have been to is the warm welcome and helpfulness of the proprietors. From the moment we arrived in town and were escorted personally to the hotel from the parking lot, through the detailed directions we were given for touring the beautiful area, the personal touch and attention of the proprietors and the staff were extraordinary.

We really enjoyed our stay, very centrally located, great staff were super friendly and helpful, accommodations were well maintained. It was really great.

Everything was great, might say my only complaint is that the room lacked anywhere to put your stuff, a couple tiny tables, no luggage racks, no shelves, no hooks…only a small shelf in the closet but mostly occupied by a refrigerator. We had to put everything in the floor…not a problem on a one night stay, but hard to get comfortable when staying 5 nights and having to pick up everything off the floor every day for the housekeeper. Again, that would be the only negative, and would definitely stay there again.

The hosts, Roberto and Guiseppe, are wonderful. They are welcoming, kind and very knowledgeable about the Sulmona area as well as operating their hotel in a completely professional manner - they always put their guests first. The location is right in the historic centre of Sulmona, so close to all of the towns interesting sites, to plenty of cafe and restaurant options, and to the marvellous social activity of promenading. Our room was very well appointed with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and served by Roberto and Guiseppe. Roberto made the time to take us out on an expedition which we could not possibly have achieved without his help.

We liked everything.

This is a family run hotel in the heart of Sulmona- a great launch pad for activities in the National Park. The proprietors were amazing. They helped us make dinner reservations, bike tours, & find parking. The breakfast is diverse & tasty. The rooms are very comfortable & clean.

There are a lot of stairs- fine for me, but a little tough for my parents. Although, Roberto put my parents in a room will suited to their mobility issues. There are stand up showers. Again, fine for most guests but difficult for me with a baby. I used the shower in my parents’ room, which was bigger.

The rooms are pristine, beautiful, and well appointed. Excellent location in the center of the old town. Comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was excellent with many choices. The family who owns and runs this hotel are lovely and so attentive and welcoming. The hotel is close to many nice restaurants and the family are happy to recommend. Rooms have Air Conditioning that works very well. The shower is state of the art, water is hot and plentiful. The rooms contain many nice details, such as bed slippers, bottled water, a kettle for tea, etc. Highly recommend, we were here for four nights and loved it!

No complaints whatsoever.

A Truly Exceptional Stay – Highly Recommended! My stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the remarkable hospitality of the owners. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel like a valued guest. The owners went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect, always ready to assist with a genuine smile. The room I stayed in was both elegant and spacious, providing a comfortable and luxurious atmosphere. The attention to detail in the room's design was evident, and it was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The decor exuded sophistication, making it a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of my stay was the private terrace. It was an absolute delight to have such a cozy and comfortable outdoor space. I spent several peaceful mornings and evenings there, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings. The breakfast served at the hotel was excellent. There was a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to choose from, and everything was beautifully presented. It was clear that great care was taken in preparing each dish, making breakfast a delightful start to the day. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The combination of outstanding hospitality, elegant accommodations, and excellent amenities made for an unforgettable stay. I will definitely be returning!

Fantastic stay! Location is great, we used the underground parking in the square and never had an issue and the walk was very nice. Rooms are modern and clean, air conditioning worked well. Breakfast was fantastic. Fresh fruits daily with a selection of fresh pastries and if you wanted a traditional savory breakfast was available on demand. Service was exceptional we will return!

Stella CasaBono is the perfect place to stay in Sulmona. The location is ideal, on a quiet street yet, near all the area's attractions. The room we had was larger than expected with all the comforts of home. Roberto and Giuseppe were the BEST hosts, always willing to help at any time, day or night. We felt at home from the first moment we met Roberto as he greeted us outside and offered cappuccino before we even got our luggage in! Stella CasaBono is THE place to stay in Sulmona and if we go back, this is where we will stay.

Having to say good-bye and leave!
