The location was perfect on a quiet side street near the town center. Many cafes, restaurants, shops, and bars are within a 5 minute walk. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were great, offering a mixture of local pastries, meats, cheese, fruit, etc. with plenty of options for any dietary restrictions. The host, Fabiana, was delightful! She made wonderful suggestions about where to eat and what to do in and around L'Aquila. I had a truly delightful stay made even better by her spot-on recommendations.

Nothing. Truly every aspect of my stay was wonderful.

LaAquila has been rebuilt/renovated since the 2009 earthquake that left it crippled so all buildings look new. The centered opened for tourism again only during COVID so the foreign tourists have not yet discovered it. We were there for 4 days and did not hear any language other than Italian- which is nice- as we really felt like tourists. The complex of rooms is run by Fabiana and her husband and they do a beautiful job of making you feel at home. Everything is new and works. Breakfast was served to us in our flat kitchen (we had a flat with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen plus another double room ensuite) and was adequate. The building itself is an 18th century renovated building with a lot of personality. Location is excellent- two minutes walk from the main street of the old city.

The disadvantage of the property that is under preservation rules, is that there is no lift - so you have quite a number of stairs to climb- for us it didnt matter but young families with prams and buggies and elderly people beware. Also note that parking is an issue and you are reliant on luck in finding a nearby place to park. For three days we were lucky but on the fourth we had a 7 minute walk from the car which is a nuisance.

The historic palazzo has been completely remodelled to maintain its historic charm but with modern comforts. The position in the center of town is perfect (unless you want to park nearby). But the best part of Palazzo dei Pavoni is the hospitality of Fabiana and Alessandro. The building has been in their family for over 200 years. You'll never find more gracious hosts and the passion they have for their B&B and sharing their city of L'Aquila makes the stay even better.

It's a bit of a challenge to find the first time. Fabiana supplies good directions so be sure to study her instructions.

The hosts were the best, genuinely happy to be there and helping you out planning the perfect trip or having a pleasent stay in the boutique hotel. Always available during the delicious breakfast but also quite good with tech for an easy remote check in where needed. With a lot of character, beautiful frescos and noble palazzo vibes, you should pick this accommodation and look no further.

The breakfast was traditional Italian with delicious jams, croissants, salami, prociuto, cheese, fruit juice and since we don't drink coffee or tea, they gave us delicious hot chocolate. We stayed in the Camera del Mare which is quite quiet and away from main streets. We liked this room because the bathroom was right in the room. It was very clean -- extremely clean. The owners were so charming and helpful. They gave us lots of helpful hints in getting around.

Had to park about a 5 minute walk from the actual hotel, but we only had back packs. Also lots of stairs to climb getting to our room, but well worth it. You are served breakfast in a private dinning room. They wear gloves serving you and masks. We just stayed one night, but we definitely would come back.

They changed the breakfast to meet my request about having a vegan breakfast. And once I arrived they provided me with all the exciting sights in the city and in nearby cities and provided me with so important details about how to reach there and how I should even be dressed in case of cold weather or slippery roads. If I visit the city again, I will definitely choose this place to stay in.

Our stay at Palazzo dei Pavoni was great in every aspect: the communication for the check in, the explanations for the arrival, the beautiful room and finally meeting our hosts at breakfast (which was also rich and interesting). They were helpful, knowledgeable and extremely kind. In our next visit to L'Aquila we will defiantly come back.

The staff were wonderful. Provide great information on dining and tourist attractions. Accomodations were excellent in beautifully renovated palace. Balconies provided a good views of city. Location is in core of center, restaurants and attractions are all within walking distance. Bellessima ospiti e locazione. Il palazzo e grande e molto bello.

Great location, a stone's throw away from the city centre. The place has a great vibe, and beautiful, nicely renovated, and spacious rooms. The rooms are very clean. Breakfast was great. The owners are super friendly and know a lot about their city. Therefore, they can tell you the best places to visit in L'Aquila to have a great time. I would definitely visit this place again.
