Reviews of Convento di San Colombo 3 stars

Perfect location for discovering the Abbruzzi Breakfast is definitely a winner Very friendly staff The butterfly garden and the herb garden are very nice places to take a little break Rooms are very comfortable, spacy and very clean

All was fine

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and we sat out in the courtyard to eat. The room we had was a very comfortable split level space with everything we needed, and the building itself is located in a beautiful & peaceful location overlooking the valley.

Peaceful oasis on the hills! Everyone in the Convento was so helpful and kind. The view is exceptional, overlooking the old gardens and down into the valley. Breakfast was particularly impressive with a huge range of options including local meats and cheese, all very fresh. I loved that almost nothing was in plastic compared to some of the places we stayed on our trip. I've seen other commenters disappointed in the 'upkeep' of the gardens but I'm happy to see they've turned most of the old gardens into a rewilding project for a butterfly garden. Much nicer than manicured lawns in my opinion!

Just a small thing but - there was an emphasis on sustainability which I loved which made it strange that there were plastic cups for water in the room!

The staff went out of their way to accomodate us and make us feel comfortable. Our flight was delayed and our rental car broke down, which created a further delay. The staff was extra wonderful. The breakfast was exceptional. They are super friendly and the location is lovely.

Staff was amazing, breakfast excellent and they made drinks for us in the afternoon and recommended restaurants nearby. Very quite and calm. Our room was cozy and warm even when super cold outside.

The hotel is lovely- everything was clean and wonderful

The place is amazing, we loved the nature and the simplicity. Great value and so peaceful. Staff was very kind and helpful, thank you

The hotel is a very nice old historical structure, with a garden to relax and drink a wine with a superb view of the valley below. It is a quiete place aside of any citie or noise with some charming villas neaby for a dinner.

Good people, good breakfast, great environment . The room was spacious and warm, which emanated a good amount feeling.

Liked everything

Beautiful place far away from everything A real joy to find absolute peace and quiet! A place infused with history And the most sweet and wonderful ladies running the place.

The lovely view from my bedroom window and the amazing limestone church attached to the convent with its incredible frescoes. Very peaceful location. We were also given the marvellous advice of a suggestion to visit the Oratory of San Pellegrino and the church of Santa Maria in nearby Bominaco. It's a hidden gem of Abruzzo filled to the rafters with very early medieval frescoes. Well worth the little detour. Thanks for this wonderful advice!

The sitting area for coffee was a bit bleak and convent-like.

A building full of character, excellent breakfast and welcoming staff.

Location was ideal for exploring the amazing Gran Sasso. Staff were first class - very friendly and helpful. The gardens, which feature highly in their publicity were almost totally neglected and extremely disappointing. It turns out they are owned by the national park, not the hotel, and their upkeep is a disgrace.

See above.

Beautiful location full of character. Lovely view. Prompt and super friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.

Shame the restaurant was closed. The take away solution offered was OK but not really great.
