There was a slight smell of drains after it rained (but I suspect that might be inevitable in an old building in the town centre) and personally I would have preferred a different breakfast arrangement (breakfast is served in the room, which is fine but just slightly less convenient as you have to decide a time and choose what you want the day before).

The B&B is in an amazing old building in the centre of town. We were worried about driving into L'Aquila but the instructions we got were really clear and we were able to park just round the corner with no problems. The B&B is 2 minutes from the main street with lots of restaurants and bars, in a really great location. The room was a decent size and had air con, a good bathroom, and a comfortable bed. Staff were v responsive through Whatsapp and the guy on duty was very helpful (including carrying my ridiculously heavy suitcase up the stairs!).

Parking is slightly tricky, but that's to be expected in centre of city - and they give a parking permit that should prevent tickets. Central location means it can be noisy in high season from lively neighbourhood - but midweek in Oct it was very quiet.

Warm welcome, very comfortable room, good breakfast. I've stayed here before, so this was a return visit and it did not disappoint. Fantastic location in the centre of l'Aquila. It is just off a lively street, with lots of amenities and restaurants nearby. Calm entrance hall and living room greets you before you climb up to the room. Bath is lovely with a good shower and lots of space.

I can speak and read some Italian, but all the instructions to enter the building were written in Italian with no English. There was construction around the space preventing access by taxi. We had to walk dragging suitcases in the rain. The code to enter the building wasn't really clear and we struggled to enter until a stranger helped us. In other words, there was no staff there to greet us.

It's a gorgeous space located inside an ancient building once used by a pope. I think couples seeking a romantic space would enjoy it. The location seems good, but we couldn't experience much around it because of bad weather. The staff were helpful and kind. The breakfast included cereal and decent coffee, but no milk? The young man from Bangladesh who brought breakfast was very helpful the next morning.

The inclusive breakfast was very generous. The gentleman who checked us in was super helpful, friendly and assisted us with taking our luggage up the stairs. Accommodation was clean, the entrance was immaculate and the bathroom was gorgeous! This place is located super close to shops, cafes and local restaurants. Did not disappoint! Thanks, L'Aquila is a pretty place!

Nothing, all good

It was quiet, clean, and very comfortable. The staff was very helpful, and I appreciated that they refilled a jug of water in the room every day.

It was a last minute 3 night accommodation as our other accommodation was cancelled on us. The location was very central but a number of city construction detours created a confusion of directions . We parked as close as possible and after a number of whattapps we got through the securety doors and received a warm welcome from our hostess. The villa had a courtyard with a number of accommodations Our hostess had a welcoming room. Our accommodation consisted of a large bed room large walk-in closet large bathroom. All was very spacious. Bed and pillow were very comfortable. She gave us a city pass which enabled us to park close by. The city had 3 nights of festivities and we did hear a thing We enjoyed the personal touch of breakfast in our room at a time of our choosing. It consisted of cuppachinos croissants Nutella juice jam muesli yogart other. The experience and accommodation was excellent worth the price and we highly recommend it Of the 4 weeks in Italy and 7 accommodations we rated the best in all categories. Barbara tony

There was loud music playing from bars outside until 2am, it wasn’t a big issue for us as we tend to stay up quite late but it may be annoying for others. I also wish there’d been eggs with the breakfast as we requested.

Beautiful building and even more beautiful apartment. Our room was perfect, overall it looks and feels very luxurious.

Unfortunately, the bathroom has no doors, creating some problems of privacy.

Well located in the city centre of Aquila, gorgeous building, spotless clean, rich and abundant breakfast.

No sunlight in my room (suite I believe) and common areas as there are basically no windows except for small skylights. It’s an apartment converted to b&b so it can get noisy if other guests or personnel are around as there is no soundproofing and doors are thin. Towels and bed quality could be improved.

Good central location, Kind personnel, clean room

The B&B is in the center of town and the problem is that some cafes and bars are open till 2am and may be very noisy. I had to call the police since past midnight the music in the street was very loud

The room is full of facilities and the management is very kind.
