I had a really nice start to my trip at B&B Hotel Pescara. Centrally located, near everything you need or need to see, with huge signs on the main road, this was ideal for a nice stopover in the less tourist-friendly Abruzzo region.
Despite a brief moment of panic when only my first cancelled reservation was found, all was quickly resolved, and I got to enjoy my safe stay in a small room with a nice balcony review out towards the sea.
FYI - the elevators are on the smaller side - so one at a time, but despite having just two for a building with double digit floors, there didn't seem to be any delays!
I would stay here again, rather comfortable. I was quite easily able to catch trains and buses to meet drivers close to the mountains/national parks too and felt very safe before dawn.
