Charming little hotel. We visited end of January for a long weekend ski trip. My husband had…read morealerted the hotel when booking that we would be there for my birthday. When we arrived the room was stocked with chocolates, card, and a bottle of Eau de Parfum! Such a thoughtful surprise. The rooms were cozy and clean, free wifi is available, and the shower had excellent heat and pressure [which we've found isn't always the case in hotels around Italy!]. Wonderful and helpful staff. Typical Italian buffet breakfast -- pastries, yogurt, small selection of deli meats and cheeses and, of course, cafe. The nightly rate was a bit more than we usually opt for but found it to be middle to upper range for the area. Overall, a wonderful weekend with comfortable accommodations.

My room was beautiful and so nice to return to after long days of exploring the amazing region of Abruzzo. The staff gave me incredible service that included some fantastic recommendations for eating and imbibing in the area. I'm already planning a return - a presto

We can't say enough good things about Hotel Rojan. The location in central Sulmona was perfect. We…read morehad a lovely suite on the top floor. We were close to everything, but it was very quiet, and we had parking right outside the door of the hotel. Most importantly, Angela and her family were so lovely and accommodating. Angela provided us with wonderful ideas of places to see and things to do. She gave us handwritten notes and maps to help us plan our excursions. Angela helped with restaurant and bar choices and made reservations for us. Dinner at Cantina di Biffi, fabulous! We wish that we had planned to spend more days in Sulmona, and we hope to return as there are many other places to see. What a beautiful area, and Angela's enthusiasm for her region helped us enjoy it so much more than we probably would have without her guidance. We were in Italy for 10 days on this trip, and Sulmona was the best part of it. We also recommend the winery tour at Cantina Margiotta which is just 15 minutes from the hotel. We will definitely stay at Hotel Rojan again. Thanks Angela!

Filomena and her family do all the cooking and provide family style hospitality in a beautiful Italian mountain setting. If you're interested in a unique travel experience away from the tours and want to sample some authentic local cuisine try the pasta guitarra with truffle (tartffo) or the tagliatella. For a secondo, the roast lamb and veal are prepared in the local tradition and are always great. Or try a pitcher of arrosticini skewers of mini lamb kebabs with a fresh green salad. The local wine is great. Breakfast is generous in the Italian style collazione with pastries, cereal and coffee/juices. The rooms are new, clean and well appointed. Try the front two that include large balcony spaces overlooking the piazza.. See a bit of the real Italy if you plan to visit this area and stop in at L'Ara dell Colle. Ciao

This place is magical. It may be because my ancestors are from Gagliano Aterno, but I just couldn't…read moreget enough of the view from the apartments here. The staff is very nice. The woman who takes care of this place is probably underpaid, but very hard-working and VERY accommodating to English speakers despite not speaking any English herself. I love this place so much that I was tempted to not write a review so I could keep them all to myself. I will be back MANY MANY times.

Leave your key when you leave the hotel, buzz in when you get back. They know your names,your room and everything in between. Obviously, this town hasn't seen that many tourists and well, that's a good thing in my book. If I go visit families again, I'd probably stay here again. Big rooms, basic beds, good breakfast. Quiet and cute hotel. It does the job for it all.

The property is set in a picturesque vineyard among the mountains in a converted monastery with contemporary minimalist interiors. The wine cellar is a must see. We absolutely adored the luxurious bedsheets and large bathroom. There was a huge hot tub in the room, but I don't think they have a pool. No need! Breakfast is fresh farm to table, too. The cappuccino was just perfect and the breakfast breads and tarts made there were a great way to start our day! We also ordered their omelet and scrambled eggs. Staff is welcoming and friendly. We will be back, grazie!

There is a nice comunal kitchen where people cook together and hang out in the rustic commonroom, that has once been the kitchen of the house and still contains the authentic Italian brick oven.On the occasion people here make bread or Pizza in it. The terrace is also a good space to hang out, in the middle of tress and with breathtaking views. Adventurers really enjoyed the horse riding through rivers and forest. You can also watch the local shepherd making cheese in a the traditional way. A really wholesome experience.
