Hotel Residence Il Feudo Dei Pierleoni, Celano, Abruzzo. Oct. 12th, 2022 After the 2 hr. drive from Leonardo da Vinci Airport, we arrived on a drizzly evening at this B&B with the cool stone buildings we had seen in the photos on Booking.com. Separate casitas with split levels. Our host planned for us to stay in an upper level casita. Once he saw my friend’s large, heavy bag, he differed to a ground floor unit. It was spacious, perfect for a family-2 large beds-plus bunk beds & kitchenette. Rustically furnished-solid furniture but no frills. Bathroom-dimly lit, kitchen/bedroom-had no curtain on window facing the highway- we rigged up one for our stay. An excellent bonus though, were screens on all the windows! We found good parking in the back. There is a manager’s office and breakfast room building as you approach the theatrical courtyard. Our host asked if we would like dinner at his restaurant that evening. We agreed and looked for him around 7:50PM. He was not around. We tried to speak to someone on the grounds talking on his phone, but he waved us off rudely. With no further information to find the restaurant, tired and hungry, we got in the car again and found a good place up the road. Our host the following morning was put out that we did not eat at his restaurant, initially described as 50 meters from the B&B. He also finally remembered to introduce himself. He seemed preoccupied with projects during this slow period of the year-we noticed only one or two other guests at breakfast. After that, we wished our host well and headed up to the fantastic Castello Piccolomini di Celano, in town. Parked next to the castle, toured the inside collection enjoyed the exterior panoramic views and had a great lunch at the restaurant near the castle, La Locanda del Castello Braceria Ristorante.
