Villa Pardi

“the staff were brilliant - the food quite exceptional Abruzzo cuisine - not quite so good when the cook had been concentrating on Signora's dinner party - they should have served us the same!”

“The main residence is a lovely old villa - full of charm and characterful. The dining room was beautiful and quiet. The service at breakfast and dinner was especially appreciated, with warmth and charm. Lovely spacious room with good air conditioning. Good, clean adjoining bathroom. We enjoyed our evening meals which were not expensive and the wine was excellent. A tranquil, relaxing place with an ancient village nearby in the hills with lovely views - 4 nights in all - we would definitely return.”

“I love this place and have stayed here several times. It is a short walk to the basilica which houses the Veil of Manoppello, an important relic that has the face of Jesus on it. It is family owned, and Emanuele Pardi is kind, welcoming and helpful. He even managed to arrange dinner for us at the last minute - for an amazing 20 euros each for three beautiful courses. It's in a lovely setting with views of the surrounding hills and countryside. Breakfast is simple continental, but nicely presented with home made jams. It's a wonderful place and I always look forward to being there! It always feels like a special treat, and so reasonably priced.”
