this town of Santo Stefano Sessano is mind blowing. a compact town high in the mountains with amazing views and experiences. unfortunately I am 78 and travelling alone so did no climbing. lovely cool air after all the heat

it’s a very long journey from Australia and very sad indeed when a huge renovation is taking place breaking the awesome peace and blocking most of the view. I booked months ago and the owners have about 8 apartments but saw fit to put me in this one. mind you the one next door would have been worse and people they put in that one were devastated and disappeared.

Good location, just outside the city center. Great view on the valley. Apartment fully equipped

Standing on the balcony one feels compelled to imagine they’re ancient royalty, surveying their vast realm.

Distributed B&B across the small town of Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Rooms are not rooms, but small apartments (well, some of them are not so small!), equipped with anything you might need. Owners are nice and gentle. In the flat's kitchen, guests can find a lot of stuff to have a good breakfast - biscuits, jam, yogurt and so on. The structure has a free parking a few meters away from all or most flats; all flats are well located to visit the town and to take mountain trails in the area (Rocca Calascio can be reached in 1h20m through a splendidly panoramic route). The Gran Sasso area (Campo Imperatore) is 35-40 minutes away.

Beds require an update. They are beautiful, mattresses are good, but they are not perfectly flat. I would add something for breakfast for those who don't drink coffee - like, a proper water boiler and some tea.

The location was great, practical to reach any main site. The flat itself was spacious and clean. The staff was super friendly and the place was very well cleaned.

Residenza Belvedere is in a lovely little village. Despite the heat it was cool inside. It gave as space to relax after our walking in the area.

This property is located on the outskirts of the historic Santo Stefano in the Apenine Mountains. The view of the valley from the window is just great. You will have fully equipped kitchen to your disposal and surprisingly good (mountains!) internet connection. This residence is the ideal base for hiking of the highest peak of the Apenines - Corno Grande. The trailhead is only 30 min away by car.

It is hard to find any negative... I did not see any super- or micromarket in the village, so bring all you stuff with you from the valleys. There is a parking space 50 m uphill on the side of the main road...
