Best Luxury Hotels in Abruzzo

Between the Apennines and the Adriatic, and just above Rome, Abruzzo is varied, extremely picturesque, and easy to get to. It’s got ski fields and lakes, and around half of the region is within the boundary of one national park or another. Abruzzo’s cuisine is wonderful, and its art and architecture are historic. The other great bonus? It’s not quite as popular as Tuscany, Umbria, or Emilia Romagna, so you can expect a lot more bang for your buck! Which is why this is a fantastic choice for a luxurious stay — whether you're looking for a ski resort; a converted lakeside castle, villa, or former monastery; or a contemporary five star hotel. Browse our pick of the best luxury hotels in Abruzzo and start planning.
