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.

We loved everything!

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.

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

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.

Amazing historic property in medieval convent beautifully decorated rooms quiet right in the heart of beautiful Sulmona. Very friendly owner, superb breakfast in courtyard. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in - and exceptional value for money

Everything perfect

Lovely converted former convent in the old town. Very comfortable and spacious room. Good sized and variety breakfast served in a beautiful massive old hall in the morning. Very friendly welcome and service. - A great choice to stay in! Sulmona is a wonderful town/?city. Very laid back and relaxed. Very beautiful. Lots to see and do without having to do too much! Lots of excellent restaurants and cafes, but this is Italy! Seriously I was very sorry to have to leave both Grancia Del Celestini - and Sulmona. Definitely stay there, and consider staying longer!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Position and structure

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 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.
