Top L'Aquila Historic Hotels

B&B Torrione

6.6 out of 10, (14)
"Its a large older style unit with a good kitchen and dinning area. There is a bar next door and a super market 150m up the street. Parking was good. I did send a message via hotel.com to meet me at the B&B at 5pm, but this did not seem to get through? So I had to ring from the bar next door and wait 20 mins. The B&B is is about 1km from the old town."
