Casa Isabella B&B

we had a great stay at this lovely B&B. Isabella and Marco could not have been any more gracious. We arrived hungry in the aftertand our hosts were kind enough to make us a delicious lunch. Our room was gorgeous, beautiful linens, comfy pillows, and very quiet. Our breakfast the next morning, on the terrace was out of this world. Eggs and bacon, local pastries, yogurt with honey and pine nuts, fresh fruit, fresh pear juice, coffee, tea. Let’s just say we didn’t need lunch. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay for a couple more nights.

What an amazing experience we had at this lovely B&B. Isabella and Marco could not have been any more gracious. We arrived around lunch and our hosts were kind enough to make us a delicious lunch. We were so appreciative of their kindness. Our room was gorgeous, beautiful linens, comfy pillows, and very quiet. Our breakfast the next morning, on the terrace was out of this world. Eggs and bacon, local pastries, yogurt with honey and pine nuts, fresh fruit, fresh pear juice, coffee, tea. Let’s just say we didn’t need lunch.

We had the most lovely stay at Casa Isabella. We were greeted warmly by Marco and Isabella. They settled us into our room and then served wine, bruschetta and ice cream on the terrace. Marco have us a wonderful local restaurant recommendation and also a couple of stops for us to visit on our drive back to Rome the next day (which we enjoyed so much!)! They have such a charming home and make you feel so comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was incredible and they sent us off with wonderful memories at Casa Isabella!!

This place is a very special labor of love in a charming small village on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo. Marco and Isabella are the epitome of hospitality and welcomed, fed and advised us throughout a two night stay. They wheeled a coffee cart into our room before breakfast, led or delivered us to restaurants and even did a load of laundry for us at a reasonable cost. The villa and 3 antique period rooms are magnificent and the large terrace where they serve breakfast (and wine with delicious home made snacks) was a big plus. This is the place to spend a few days if you want a memorable stay in a very interesting and lovely part of Italy. We thought it was a bargain too.

We stayed at Casa Isabella for 2 days, absolutely wonderful Isabella and Marco were fantastic, they went over and above expectations. Loved, loved it. Gino &Rose Dona'

Casa Isabella was perfection! Elegant with old world charm, it is a must stay for anyone who is visiting the coast of the Adriatic. We could not say enough about their genuine hospitality. Isabella and Marco made us feel so welcome with their warm and generous demeanor, offering suggested places to visit, and restaurants not to be missed. Their breakfast serving was a feast for both the eyes and mouth! Do not miss this place!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful B&B. Isabella and Marco are magnificent hosts. Very welcoming! The breakfast was absolutely delicious and our room was clean, comfortable and elegant. We look forward to returning next year. Peter and Louise

Excellent stay in a historic B&B with wonderful hosts. We spend two nights in this B&B, a historic building inherited by Isabella, a co-owner of the B&B with her husband Marco. The hotel feels like a historic villa or palazzo, with rooms decorated with antique furniture. You could not ask for more hospitable hosts. We had a warm reception and welcome drinks and appetizers on their roof-top. Breakfasts were wonderful and included a pre-breakfast coffee and cookie brought us to on a tray outside our room. But the best part of our stay was enjoying the company of our wonderful hosts. They recommended activities and restaurants, and made reservations for us. Even though the weather was very rainy during our visit, we really enjoyed our stay. It would be a particularly wonderful place to stay in good weather, when one could eat in nearby trabocchi and go hiking in nearby Majella National Park. But even in bad weather, we visited nearby Rocca Scalegna Castle, which I strongly recommend seeing, as it is an ancient castle built in the 11th century in a remarkable settting, precariously perched over a cliff.

We were interested in a unique vacation in the Abruzzo region, and found the Trabocci, the restaurant structures built over the seashore offering truly fresh seafood. So we decided to find a hotel/B&B nearby, if possible. The little city of Rocca San Giovanni seemed to fit the bill and we booked with Casa Isabella, an historic property. We weren't expecting much more than a comfortable inn but boy were we surprised! We were met by the B&B's namesake owner, Isabella, and immediately offered some refreshment. (Isabella incidentally was an international high fashion model, still very glamourous, and stylish) The inn offers three elegant rooms, beautifully decorated, with period furniture on one hand and modern bathrooms, fully stocked with quality toiletries and plenty of towels on the other hand. Our room, the Donna Ermina, was attractive and quiet, the bed comfortable, and the room completely serviced every day. The breakfasts were wonderful...fresh pastries, juices, fruit, eggs to order. In good weather, guests were seated on an outdoor terrace. A special touch was Isabella bringing a teacart with "the first cup of coffee" to one's room at whichever time guests preferred. And during our stay Marco, Isabella's husband and partner (and chef!) sent guests off each day with sandwiches. Free parking was available nearby in several areas close to the B&B. The best part of this inn was the owners hospitality and generosity, the worst was having to leave at the end of our stay.
