Reviews of Villa Inglese

Very nice, comfortable B&B with an exceptional restaurant where we had a wonderful vegetarian five course set menu. The views across the countryside from our bedroom Juliet balcony were outrageous! Highly recommended.

This is a true gem of a B and B. Gaynor and Ben are wonderful hosts. This was our first trip to Picinisco and we will definitely return. The meal, made by Ben, was superb- fantastic service and a clear passion for his occupation. It was a treat to be made a meal by someone so skilled and knowledgable. Absolutely loved not having to order and to have food brought over with a detailed explanation of what it was and how it was made. Our room was light and bright with a lovely view and huge bathroom. The ambience is perfect, especially in the evenings and if you cannot stay, then at least visit for a meal. Gaynor is very kind and helped us with everything that we needed. A home from home. Thank you so much- we will be back!

very charming property with lovely views and an amazing restaurant

This villa is absolutely stunning. The location is beautiful and the views from all rooms are incredible.

There is nothing I could fault . Unfortunately the air conditioning wasn’t working but they were working on getting it fixed . An engineer was scheduled to visit .

Perfect location beautifully decorated with links to its history and its ethos Probably the best views in Italy and then there’s the food which was locally sourced quite easily the best I have tasted.beautifully presented and introduced by staff who were just charming ,knowledgeable and friendliest you could meet . Ben you are a genius

It was a lovely Villa type property central to the village , furnishings were really nice the bedroom and bed was very comfortable . We had a terrace with amazing views over the valley . The host Ben and his team were amazing ..We don’t consider this property a three star this deserves a higher rating . The food and service is definitely 5 star it was a wonderful experience - we loved it.

No tea or coffee machine in the room only because we are up very early 5/6.00 am and I would’ve liked my morning coffee on the balcony /terrace before heading down to breakfast on the main terrace which was fabulous.

A beautiful Villa with gorgeous views down the valley. A short walk into the main square. Lovely furnishings- staff were incredibly attentive and kind. We booked dinner for 5 of us and were treated to Michelin Star fare and wine. Quite a treat - thank you

Wow! What a stunning place! I travelled here with my mum and the photos online, although beautiful, don't do this place justice. This is such an outstanding property, with the most incredible views. The whole building has been restored beautifully, and the owners have created a space that is filled with tasteful artwork and a real sense of Italian style. The rooms were spacious and cool, which was exactly what we needed after a long, hot day of travelling. Gaynor is the most gracious host and was so attentive. Late in the evening, my mum managed to lock herself out of her room, and Gaynor was there in moments to assist. So pleasant and professional. We couldn't have asked for more. The rooftop seating area provided uninterrupted views for miles. It was such a wonderful, unexpected treat to have this after our long day. Breakfast was delicious, and we had the opportunity to also meet Gaynor's husband and renowned chef Ben Hirst. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to stay and enjoy an evening meal at Villa Inglese, but we will absolutely do this on our next visit!

Everything was perfect.

Freshly made croissants

I loved the location in the village. Hosts were very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was excellent.

Set dinner was amazing, but I would have loved to taste more of this exciting food if a different Menu was offered on other evenings.

We had an incredible stay in this unexpected gem in the Abruzzo Mountains. The Host's were attentive and hospitable willing to accommodate any special requirements and dietary restrictions. We highly recommend staying for 3 or more nights in this charming location. The dinner is an absolute must, its bound to be a culinary experience to be remembered.

There was nothing we didn't enjoy

The best! Such a lovely old building with beautiful rooms in a really quaint little historic town. Hosts were super helpful and the dinner was probably the best meal we have ever had. Ben is an incredible chef with years of experience who now tucks himself away serving dishes that use local produce. Would go here again in a heartbeat!

We had high expectations and Villa Inglese exceeded all of them, it is paradise. Ben welcomed us with a drink on the balcony with the most stunning views over the valley and hills beyond. The room and property are absolutely stunning, our room was large, beautifully decorated and had views to die for. The village is beautiful with Kiss Kiss bar only 200m away, again such friendly people and so cheap with stunning views. Ben and Gaynor were superb hosts, they couldn't have been more welcoming, genuine & kind. We enjoyed a beautiful 6 course meal and wine flight courtesy of Ben and his team, Ivan the waiter was amazing. Ben is a top chef, no question! It felt like being home from home, just wish it was my home! Breakfast was superb with the best cappucino we had all holiday. The roof terrace is relaxing and again, incredible views. I have recommnded Villa Inglese to my family and friends and can see it becoming a regular visit. We toured Rome, Amalfi Naples and this stay was our absolute highlight.

Nothing, all stunning

An incredibly beautiful property with spectacular views. Everything was perfect; the warm welcome from Gaynor, the exceptional culinary art cuisine by Ben. The rooms have fabulous views across the valley and mountains. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable beds. We will be back!

We loved everything

Wonderful food. Lovely owners. Dinner by Ben (didn’t expect to find a first rate chef in the mountains!) and sumptuous continental breakfast by Gaynor. The view of the mountains from our bedroom was outstanding.

Loved it all.

Short distance to village centre, stunning views & excellent restaurant.

No tea & coffee facilities in room.

The owners were a delight. They made you feel like family. The villa was tastefully decorated. The restaurant was exceptional. The view was like no other… heavenly.

I cannot think of anything I did not like.

Everything - the location, the views, the terrace, the rooms and especially, the hosts - Gaynor and Ben are exceptionally warm, fun, informative and accommodating. Gaynor runs the Inn and Ben runs the restaurant and is an amazing chef - both are delightful and charming people- be sure to make a dinner reservation - you will be in for a treat. Gaynor is a wealth of information regarding the area and has suggestions for day trips. The Villa is a short walk to the center of a storybook village. Loved it all!

Not one thing.

The whole house is beautiful. Every room is so well appointed. There is so much attention to detail and so many interesting things to see, and books to read. The beds and linen were just fantastic. Gaynor and Ben are amazing hosts, they make you feel so welcome and are really helpful with sightseeing tips. The view from the house and the rooms is, just stunning. the terraces, especially the roof have amazing views.

Nothing.

Amazing views from our room. Plenty of choices for breakfast. We all really enjoyed the taster meal.
