Manoppello Shrine of the Holy Face Hotels

"Great Staff"

"Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by John Carlo - it was dark and getting there was a little tricky but in the end worth every ounce of energy it took to navigate the winding mountain roads. Like other reviews, our only regret was not being able to stay longer. My daughter, granddaughter and I came to see the Holy Veil of Manoppello (an unforgettable and moving pilgrimage). The accommodations, warm kindness, delicious home cooking and absolutely magnificent surroundings make this hotel a true gem. Many thanks to the warm hosts for making our stay a home away from home."

"This lovely villa is set in the most beautiful surroundings and can accommodate a large family or groups of friends easily. It's very well equipped with everything you will need for a great stay. The wonderful neighbour Dina is on hand to deal with any issues or questions and makes you feel very welcome. She went out of her way to help us and we were very touched by her kindness. We recommend local restaurant La Locanda in Civitella Casanova where the food is consistently fabulous."

"Hotel location is almost on the top of mountain. Surrounded with fruit trees. Green everywhere. Nice pool but didn’t use it due to season. Real nice location ro relax. Car is must though. The owner offered to cook. Breakfast was nice with toast, home made jam, grapes and walnuts from the yard, coffee…I wish it wasn’t cluttered. The rooms had some a pleasant smell. "

"Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Molto pulito e facilmente raggiungibile dall’autostrada "

"We had the MOST wonderful 10 day stay in Valerie's, comfortable and well-loved house. The photos absolutely do not do it justice. The house is situated in the most beautiful setting, the terrace is perfect and we watched the mind blowing sunsets there every evening. It was so so nice to have the pool to dip in and the deckchairs for lounging! We cooked most days in the kitchen which had everything we needed. The ricotta from the farm at the end of the lane was really delicious - we ate like Kings!We fell in love with Abruzzo while we were there - the house is really well situated for hiking in the Apennines, accessing the Trabocchi coast and visiting other beautiful lakes and hilltop villages.Valerie was a superb host - she gave us lots of detailed information about getting to the house and things to do in the local area. No question/query was too small!!"

"We had an amazing 10 days at Pete and Jools property in the beautiful little hamlet of Limiti. The villa is ideal for a couple and Pete and Jools have thought of everything required to make your stay extremely comfortable. The view from the terrace is amazing and so peaceful. Although we only used the pool a couple of times it is beautifully kept and the flowers and plants surrounding it are lovely. Pete and Jools gave us good recommendations on where to visit and for restaurants and the highlight was a visit to The Home restaurant in Palombaro - definitely recommend. This area of Italy has everything, beautiful scenery from the mountains to the sea, lots of little villages to explore and we particularly enjoyed our trips to Scanno and Rosacarro. Thank you so much Pete and Jools we will return. Hope Max is on the mend. "

"The 4 course dinner and wine pairing were indulgent and fabulous. This is a great place to view the valley where Montepulciano grapes originate while sipping its wine. I would highly recommend!"

"The hotel is in an easy to reach area close to the freeway, airport, train line. Not scenic, but convenient."
