If you are considering a trip to Caramonico Italy, make a point to stay in this sweet little gem, Locanda del Barone.||||We had the fortunate experience of staying at Locanda del Barone in May 2013. We truly believe It was Providence which brought us to this beautiful, quiet retreat located in the quaint village of San Vittorino. ||We were weary travelers when we arrived late in the afternoon. Danielle and the rest of the family made sure we had all of our creature comforts... And even prepared a "snack" of wine and assorted cheeses to hold us over until dinner was served; which we promptly and happily consumed. It made us feel special that they took time in the midst of dinner preparations to make sure we were cared for.||||The room was perfect....simple, clean and quiet. There were spectacular views of the mountain range and the town of Caramonico across the valley.||The food was prepared with care, and was simple yet elegant.... Really 5 star quality in presentation and taste....Delicious!||||Our stay was brief, but every minute of it was splendid.||||The energy of this place is peaceful and nourishing to the body and soul, no doubt brought about by the efforts of Danielle and family! Thank you for making our stay so...

Read moreHaving had several amazing meals at Locanda del Barone during past visits to the Abruzzo, we decided to have a relaxing vacation spending four nights in one of the bed and breakfast rooms they offer. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was extremely helpful, accommodating, and friendly. Breakfast was abundant and varied, highlighted by an excellent zucchini frittata, a variety of cakes, beautifully ripe fresh fruit, and bread baked on the premises. The area around the Locanda, the Maiella mountain range, is majestic and beautiful, and one can take bucolic walks directly from the Locanda. As lovely as our stay was, the strongest draw for visiting the Locanda is the restaurant.
