Bellante Town Houses

"Great place with great views. Very close to the beach "

"Friendly and helpful staff"

"This is an incredibly nice hotel and possibly one of the highest value hotels I’ve ever stayed in across Europe over many decades. It’s more modern than cute but very, very comfortable everything. "

"Our hostess was gracious and ready for us, meeting us outside as we arrived. In her limited English, she was attentive and friendly. The facility has seen better days and needs maintenance. Everything was clean and tidy, but like the light fixtures that needed new bulbs, the place was in need of small repairs. "

"Lovely hotel well placed on the beach. Very professional staff. The room was nicely appointed, however the bed was uncomfortable. We were there in off season so not all of the stores or restaurants were open"

"Amazing old and fashinable building in a wonderful location. The staff is really helpful and proactive. The breakfast is amazing with one of the best pancakes ever eaten. I highly recommend this hotel"

"Lovely property and very helpful staff. The food at breakfast was fantastic."

"Very accommodating. Staff on site 24/7 friendly and helpful. "

"Il Frutetto ('the orchard') was an absolute joy. John and Sue were consummate hosts–funny, articulate, helpful and knowledgeable. The views are stunning from all directions. The estate is well laid-out, with a very functional and well-stocked kitchen, and the pool and decks were a true luxury. Know that it is a bit out in the country, so a drive is required to get to sights and shopping. We found incredible dining in Julianova (Taglietto, and others) and a great enoteca (wine shop) about 5 km away (but a very decent Montepulciano d'Abruzzo can be had at the market for 3 euro)! Sue also arranged a local cook to come in and demonstrate the making of a 3 course meal (a homemade savory ravioli, a superb lamb dish, and custard for dessert). There is much to see and do in Abruzzo, but relaxing in a place like Il Frutetto itself was worth the trip."
