La Compagnia del Viaggiatore

A very enjoyable 3 days at this hotel. Immaculate facilities,our room was stunning, continental breakfast had loads of choices and the family/staff were so helpful and pleasant. The meal we had at the hotel on Sunday night was excellent. Would definitely recommend and stay there again. Would be difficult to walk into town as it is a bit far and the road is very narrow with busy traffic.

Very clean, friendly, family run hotel. Only about 30 rooms, all of them are individually themed. We stayed in Praga which had a japanese theme with a low bed. We asked for more pillows, which were delivered to the room straight away. The bathroom was well equipped with a "designer" suite and had a shower pod with body jets - much better than expected. The room was cleaned and linen changed daily. There are two restaurants, a small gourmet one that we didn't try, and a larger pizzeria/restaurant with a bar . It was so good we ate there every night. Really good value, large choice of dishes, and attentive service. A large pizza was only 5 euros, and the house wine was very drinkable at 3 euros for a half-carafe. There is a pool for the kids, but it's only small and not heated. The hotel is about 4km from the centre of town, but it's on the Rome side, so easy access from the motorway and good for visiting the hill towns. There is a shuttle bus from the hotel which we should have used because parking in L'Aquila is a nightmare - lots of one way streets and very few parking places. We would really recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
