Hotel berhampiran Parco Montessori, Pescara

I booked a double room with a sea view two months ago and was looking forward to our holiday. A deposit had been taken from my bank account, but I did not receive a confirmation of my booking. I had to ask for it via email. Pictures on their website looked amazing, but the reality was very different. The reception staff was the first disappointment. No smile, no hospitality. It did not change all the time, we felt like somebody who was not welcome. We booked a half board because we did not want to search for restaurants nearby. Breakfasts were poor, the same all seven days. Toast bread, two kinds of ham, one kind of cheese, sausages, scrambled eggs, and tomatoes. Sweet breakfast was various, very good croissants and other sweet cakes. Poor offer of fruit - apples, oranges, apricots, only twice a watermelon, no vegetables, only tomatoes. You could have only one coffee, the second one was paid for. The biggest disappointment - dinner. It was served in a restaurant nearby despite their claim that dinner is in their hotel restaurant (see their website). They also claim ”For everyone, soft drinks are unlimited using the beverages dispenser in the restaurant”. We had to pay for each drink, including water, and the beverage dispenser was available only during breakfast. We even had to visit a reception to pick up tickets for breakfast and dinner every day, which was humiliating in 2024. The room was small, but ok. Nice balcony, but there was nothing to hang wet clothes on. Fortunately, we brought a clothesline and pegs from home. The bathroom was old-fashioned, shower box was only for slim people. What was a pro, was a cleaning staff and air conditioner - it worked very well. In conclusion, we enjoyed our stay, but will not visit this hotel anymore.

Di passaggio a Pescara per una notte, abbiamo trovato al volo una camera tripla ma non ci siamo trovati bene. La stanza era datata, sia negli arredi che per quanto riguarda i sanitari, e non risultava decisamente ben tenuta. La doccia era molto scomoda, con un doccino che non si riusciva a far star dritto, senza il piatto e con delle pareti di plastica mobili impossibili da tenere chiuse in modo corretto, finendo per bagnare tutto il pavimento. La cosa peggiore è stata però il fastidiosissimo rumore dell'impianto di climatizzazione, evidentemente molto vecchio e bisognoso di manutenzione. Impossibile riuscire a dormire, o per il caldo, o per il rumore continuo e forte, proveniente dalle bocchette posizionate sul soffitto. La colazione sufficientemente varia ma nulla di più. Bene invece per quanto riguarda la posizione della struttura, vicina alla stazione, comoda per visitare il centro e il lungomare. Nel complesso, non ritorneremmo in questo hotel.

Strategic location and very near to train station. Room is spacious and comfortable. Bathroom is the biggest i ever stayed during my trip in Italy. Sofa bed is also available in the room for additional traveler. Good recommendation if you plan to stay at Pescara.

Ho trovato per caso questo B&B cercando su Google, incuriosita dalle ottime recensioni e dalle camere ho contattato Tony. Ho trovato subito, durante la chiamata, una persona deliziosa, gentilissima e cortese che ci ha ospitato nella sua struttura. Per noi è stato l’appoggio per una sola notte (come tappa di rientro dalla vacanze) ma se fossi stata prima a conoscenza del posto non avrei avuto dubbi sul risceglierlo. Tony ci ha aspettati e accolti nonostante fosse ora di cena, e anche durante il tragitto per Pescara è stato molto carino nel chiederci come stesse andando il viaggio. Camera super pulita, arredata in maniera impeccabile, con tutti i confort del caso (per dire, in camera c’era una ciotolina con delle caramelle). Lo spazio colazione ricco di tantissimi cibi dolci e salati (insieme a macchinetta del caffè e a utensili vari) è sempre accessibile durante il giorno. Tony ci ha anche fornito indicazioni su dove andare a cena, dove parcheggiare ecc… insomma un’host impeccabile. È stato davvero un piacere soggiornare qui! Grazie!

We stayed a week here. Accessibility wise, it is only a short walk to the beach and restaurants BUT it is down and then up a very steep hill. Unless you like fish, most of the nearby restaurants will not suit you. Would recommend having a car due to these facts. There is a courtesy mini bus service to a beach which was at a cost of €25 euros per day inc umbrella, chairs etc. We ate dinner in the restaurant twice. The food was very good but is a limited menu. Portion size on the small size. We ate breakfast most mornings which at €5 is good value for money . Varied buffet breakfast with lovely local bread and cakes, fruit yoghurt etc, cold meat and cheeses and scrambled eggs. We booked 6 months in advance and were disappointed with the room allocated to us. We had booked a superior room and queried on the first night if that was what we were in. We were assured we were……but….. on further conversation the next day with very helpful check in desk staff, it became clear we were in one half of a family room. There was not much difference in amenity except the superior room was approx 8-10 m2 bigger…..so a huge difference. We were subsequently moved on night 3 of 7 so this aspect was disappointing and the photos on the website of various rooms are very misleading. We felt slightly cheated over this. There is also an issue with noise from other rooms which is audible for sure but did not cause us any significant issue. In terms of the rooms and public areas, the gardens and pool areas are very pleasant to spend time in. The restaurants for breakfast and dinner are ok too. The rooms and corridors are tired and do need refreshing in our view, especially the bathrooms which are showing signs of age with black mould in a lot of the grouting. Lastly, the staff throughout the hotel were outstanding in every respect. The service was exceptional…… friendly, informative, professional and efficient. 10/10. Had this not been the case we would have reviewed it at 3/5.

Siamo stati in questo b&b per una notte ma solo dopo aver prenotato la proprietaria mi ha detto che la mia stanza avrebbe avuto un bagno privato ma esterno alla stanza quindi bisognava uscire dalla stanza su un pianerottolo in cui c è anche un ‘ulteriore stanza costretti così ad uscire vestiti o comunque non in libertà… non abbiamo usufruito della colazione perché abbiamo scelto la formula del solo pernotto , carina L idea del check in automatico che sembra una caccia al tesoro , il parcheggio è gratuito all interno ma davvero stretto e faticoso per fare manovre con macchine grandi… scale per raggiungere i piani molto strette e con le valige diventa un po’ faticoso anche perché non sono sicura di aver visto un ascensore… consiglierei di migliorare la pulizia degli ambienti perché nella stanza ho trovato tanta polvere sui comodini, testiera del letto e a terra e per chi è anche allergico dormire in quelle condizioni non è L ‘ideale … le finestre non permettono di isolare i suoni esterni quindi si può sentire di tutto durante la notte … proprietaria sentita solo tramite mail e whatsapp ma molto cordiale.. il b&b si trova in una zona comoda perché vicina al mare e al centro ( credo a max 3 km)

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, they organised my taxis to and from the airport during my stay. Level of English speaking is high, so easy for the international travelers. I did not try the breakfast as my days started too early. The room was big and temperature was perfect. Bed bit hard, but I like that, I slept well. The hotel is also very quiet which helps with a good night sleep. The only downside is that ( most hotels do this) there is the sign that if you want your towels changed put them on the floor. I left mine hanging, but they still got changed. This is not following the procedure as advertised or helping the environment. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
