This is a beautiful old building enjoying panoramic views of The Gran Sasso (known locally as "The Sleeping Beauty") and the Appenine Mountains. The rooms are spacious, furnished with antique furniture and kept immaculately clean. The international breakfast is quite outstanding, with lovingly prepared specialities from Abruzzo, delicious local fruit, juices, hams, sausages, bread, croissants and mouth-watering cakes and pastries. But the best thing of all about this extraordinary place, is the people who run it. Family owned, the mother, her two sons and daughter in law Federica (who speaks excellent English) together with their staff make you feel so welcome that this is like having a home from home in Italy! We stayed here a fortnight and will definitely be returning soon.

Absolutely nothing.

Comfortable old family home in the old center of the village. I was able to park my bike in the foyer.

No restaurants open at end of Feb. Calzione is the usual industrial snack food.

Very good breakfast and a very friendly hostess, who helped us with all our questions. Had everything we needed and more! The pool and the view were magnificent.

Pool and pool area very nice.

Beautiful and historical b&b in the center of Pianella. I think it’s the only hotel in the town, and it’s a lovely one! Nice staff and good breakfast.
