The rooms are full of character, immaculately clean and contain everything you need. The Manager was friendly, discreet and relaxed. Breakfast, served outside was very good.

I would have given this hotel an excellent rating, but the air conditioning in our room was a BIG issue. When booking the room, I specifically booked it because of the location & air conditioning. My Mother is elderly so air conditioning is a must. The stairs posed a problem too, but she managed. I was asked to provide my estimated check in time which I did. When we showed up and the kind gentlemen checked us into our room it was like a oven! Not warm or hot...I mean a oven...like sitting in a sauna!! So unbearably HOT!!!! They did not start the air conditioning before our arrival so it took hours and hours to try and cool the rooms down. He started the air conditioning system, but was doing nothing. He then brought up 2 portable air conditioning machines to assist with the cooling system. We had to continuously fill the machine with cold water & ice packs. We were absolutely miserable and had to sleep naked to stay cool. We were super upset when we went out walking one of the days and when we returned someone turned off all of the air conditioning systems and the room returned to being unbearably hot! My Mother is elderly and was just so uncomfortable. We all were. We totally understand that electricity is expensive in Italy, but the hotel should provide that for guests no matter what. Turning it off while we were gone was unacceptable. It was truly miserable. Otherwise, the property was excellent. I just need to make other customers aware of this in case you are visiting in July or are just sensitive to high temperatures and prefer your room to be cool.

The location is perfect! The hotel is located on the main street where you can walk to all the shops, restaurants, churches, grocery store. The courtyard is beautiful and the breakfast service is just lovely. Eggs, toast, croissants, yogurt, fruit & caffe. Our room was located off of the courtyard. Please be prepared for steps and carrying your luggage up those steps. No elevator for elderly. Please be advised that if there is a function in the courtyard those can go until 1AM if you are sensitive to noise. It didn't bother us though. Rooms were spacious for 3 people.

The Location of the B&B is amazing, close to public and paid parking, really central to the town. The staff was very welcoming, professional and nice. The room was very warm, comfortable and had all the services. Breakfast was amazing and plenty.

Did not find the fact that there were stairs written in the presentation, would have been important to know to people with accessibility problems.

The stairs have to be taken with caution, but were lovely.

I loved the history of this building.

We loved everything!

Our stay at Grancia dei Celestini in Sulmona, Italy, was a delightful blend of history, comfort, and exceptional breakfasts. This charming bed and breakfast captured our hearts with its enchanting location and rich historical significance. The historical significance of Grancia dei Celestini added an extra layer of intrigue to our stay. Learning about its origins as a medieval granary and its transformation into a welcoming B&B was a fascinating experience. The preservation of its unique architecture and the incorporation of historical elements into the decor made our stay feel like a journey through time. However, we would have loved to see more detailed information about the building's history on display within the B&B. Nestled in the heart of Sulmona, Grancia dei Celestini boasts an unbeatable location. Set against the backdrop of the stunning Apennine Mountains, this ancient monastery-turned-hotel offers a sense of serenity that is hard to find elsewhere. The cobblestone streets and historic buildings of Sulmona are right at your doorstep, making it the perfect base for exploring the town's rich history and culture. We found it incredibly convenient to explore Sulmona's attractions, shops, and restaurants, all within walking distance.

Breakfast was devine with many options of fresh fruit, pastries, cheeses, yogurt, made to order eggs, etc. Other meals and wine served were fabulous. Owner is very accommodating and pleasant. Beautiful courtyard growing fresh herbs and flowers. Location is perfect! Very close to town center/piazza, but far enough to be very quiet and peaceful. Second time in Sulmona and second time staying here. We'll return over and over! We stayed on second floor; there is no elevator.

Staff was nice but a bit unorganized.

Old monastry at the Corso Ovidio, the best place to be in Sulmona, and a very nice breakfast (the kind you'll rarely find getting into the south of Italy).

As in many old buildings with thick walls, wifi reach is a challenge

We were very happy to have picked Grancia dei Celestini for our 4 day stay in Sulmona. It is a lovely city and a good base to explore Abruzzen (although when we were here, there was lots of rainy weather and low hanging clouds so we could only see places below 900 meters). Antonio is a good host. Our room (the large 2-room one at the front of the building, with balcony) was very clean, comfortable, and decorated with attention to period and detail. Breakfast was served at the table and was ample - including freshly made eggs.

The B&B is located in a very ancient building of a former monastery with the entrance in the cloister. The breakfast is served in a very beautiful and inspiring space. The breakfast was excellent as well as the dinner aperitif in the cloister.

The bathroom floor had stains on it and one of the lightbulbs in the room was out (another one was broken). It didn’t affect my stay as I was only there for one night.

Lovely little Grancia near the Porta Napoli, full of character and maintained traditional decor. I stayed in a room with a balcony looking out into the street, enjoying the sounds of Sulmona life. Breakfast was exceptional, prepared and served with care and attention to detail.

In my room in the attic Wi-Fi did not seem to work, air conditioning pretty noisy

A great place to stay, in a lovely town. Historic building in the center, walking distance from all sites Comfortable accommodation and personalized friendly service by the gentleman in charge. He went the extra mile at getting me reimbursed the price in excess booking.com charged me for! Good breakfast

L'ambiente, ka camera e la location

Stayed in May 2022

My room had no windows, the room itself was in a small attic, but the worst part was the smell of cigarette smoke in my room. It was unbearable. When I arrived and during the first part of my stay I was the only guest, and then I believe there were two other rooms occupied by other guests. I wonder if there were no other rooms available for me other than that one. I should have complained when I first saw the room.

With the exception of my room, the place was nice.
