Hotel Ovidius

Struttura e servizi molto buoni…ottimo livello di pulizia.

In lovely spring weather we had 2 nights at this very fine hotel with direct view to the snowcapped mouintains. Reception friendly and fast. Room was quiet, full view to Gran Sasso! Fine beds, fine bathroom. Breakfast was indeed very good and a very warm service at breakfast.

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights in late March. We find it to be in an excellent location to explore the town of Sulmona; but also close to main roads for day trips or into the countryside to other towns. There is free parking out front if you happen to get one of the white curb parking spots. Or, the hotel had more parking around back with a gate opened by your room key. There is a restaurant on site serving high quality food. Our stay had breakfast buffet included which was quite extensive. Staff members were all very friendly. Special mention to Ari on the front desk and Tanya in the breakfast room. Everyone else was pleasant and helpful too. Walking distance to countless restaurants and the historical centre of Sulmona.

The rooms are spacious and very clean, and the beds were the most comfortable of all the places we stayed in Italy. Breakfast was very nice, with many offerings and a very accommodating staff. The location is within walking distance to restaurants and sights, and the hotel restaurant is good, too. The staff was very helpful, arranging transportation to the national park, and also to the nearby town of Scanno, which was one of the highlights of the visit. Sulmona itself is fun to explore for its Roman aqueduct, gates, etc. And to top it off, the hotel spa is a treat, and the massage some of us received from Nathalie was lovely. I could have stayed longer.

The hotel is good value for money if you are looking for comfort and not for the authentic. Chose a street with a view on the parking which will be much quieter. It has a nice swimming pool and spa area which you need to book in advance for Eur 20 per person. It seemed that we were the only guests in the hotel so it was very quiet. It is outside of the historical center which is a 5-7 minute walk.

This hotel was perfectly situated in Sulmona. The staff that checked us in was not over friendly or even a little friendly ... but there were others that were certainly friendly, kind and helpful. The room was enough in size and the bathroom was large enough, but the shower was funny .... looked like a space tube. The breakfast was a light fare but enough.

The location is great, the staff amazing, the food wonderful and the rooms terrific! We were warmly welcomed, treated like royalty and loved every minute we were there! Thanks to Mariadora, Tanya, Ali, Linda and all the others that made our stay so memorable!

A lovely hotel with a great location and very friendly and accommodating staff. Ari, Tania and Linda were terrific! They attended to all details efficiently. Enjoyed the covered patio for drinks. The ambience is old-world genteel.

We returned to Sulmona after the 3yr Covid break. Mariadora and her sister Gemma provided an amazing experience everyday of our stay. The Hotel is emmaculately clean. The food is made fresh everyday by Chef's. Breakfasts are to die for. The view of the mountains in the breakfast area in the morning sets your day up , ready to go. Louann and I would like to thank all of the staff, Tania at breakfast, got my coffee (espresso) just perfect each day, the ladies at the front desk were so helpful with english to italian translation. They would not hesitate to make a telephone call for me in italian, And little Ari, keep riding your bike, we loved your dessert. Grazie Mille,
