Albergo Stella

Abruzzo


Compact family-run hotel in Sulmona’s historic centre that has kept up with the trends, with subtle style accents in its large minimalist rooms. The real stelle (stars) here though are the staff who work out of a smart little reception area and cafe on the ground floor; they are tirelessly generous with their help, welcomes and local tips.
