What travelers are saying
- Jurek S3 contributionsBeautiful place. Amazing view.
Location is great, castle at around 1540m above sea level but with great access by car. Parking is available but can be not enough in high season. In September, there was enough space there.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Well worth either a walk or bike ride over.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Claudia DBuenos Aires, Distrito Federal, Argentina1,105 contributionsThis place is for me the nicest in Abruzzo. Considered on the list of the Borghi Più beli d’Italia.
You will find that they are still fixing some buildings after the earthquake of 2009 and all the area aswell.
But after the years has the same personality I felt thirty years ago when I went there for the first time.
Nowadays with a lot of good options for dinner a couple of bars.
Located up in the mountains with and fantastic tower that you can visit inside.
Silent, profound, embrassing, leaving you the sensation the the time doesn’t pass, that everything stays stand still…
A sensation that is not easy to feel when you travel.
This medioevo places around Abruzzo-Aquila area are incredible! Unforgettable.Written July 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A once magnificent place it seems to be well on its away to returning to its former eleganceWritten October 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- G.B.871 contributionsThe fortress is a place of exceptional historical interest. It was one of the last fortresses of the "Regno delle due Sicilie" besieged (in 1860-1861) during the formation of Italy, as we know it today. Weapons such as those now on display in the museum were used and the roads you will travel along were used by soldiers during that and other sieges. The place, in short, deserves to be visited, but also deserves to be cared for more.
There are no audio-guides, nor was it possible to make a guided tour.
The information material, often small, is present only in certain areas particularly circumscribed, for the rest you will have to move along a path not well specified. There is only a drinks machine, when a bar would be very nice.

The faces are both human and animal, and are fascinating to view individually and as a fountain that completely surrounds you.Written June 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Louise DNewcastle, Australia20 contributionsThis is a beautiful place that could really use more tourism to boost the local economy.
Wander around, join the lively passegiata, sit on the steps and eat gelati or have a drink in one of the friendly bars.
Mount Majella creates a spectacular backdrop and is the best show in town as the sun sets.
Intriguing light installations quote the Roman poet Ovid who was born here and wrote “the Art of Love.”

- Renato GalzioTeramo, Italy6 contributionsQuiet place with long sandy beach. Nice promenade with cycle path. Few hotels and mostly private houses. My family frequents this town each summer after many years. People is kind and friendly. Ideal for families with small children.Written May 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Deb WReno, NV2,571 contributionsI loved this little town. It's not far from Sulmona. This area is not heavily toured. It felt like we had the town to ourselves to wander around. We visited the castle. It was lovely.Written June 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 975manrey975Zurich, Switzerland245 contributionsWhat else do you need besides an overwhelming view, friendly staff, a fine house wine, and all this on a romantic summer evening? Food. And fantstic food you get: "Emozioni & Sapori", run by Rosina and Giorgio, offers all of it. Try ALTA MAREA, FRITTURA DI CALAMARE E CALMARETTI, FILETTO DI OMBRINA E PISTACCHI AND TIRAMISU and you will feel like in italian paradise.Written July 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charlene MVancouver, Canada266 contributionsBeautifully preserved, steeped in history, and a fine place to spend a few hours. It's located overlooking the sea and you can see the town of Vasto in the distance. A lot of weddings are held here due to the beautiful place, but also there's ample parking, and attentive staff. The original frescoes are wonderful and all the archways held me in awe.Written October 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dominique7339Ottawa, Canada395 contributionsUnfortunately was not open when we arrived. Only open from 1630 to 2030. Amazing life sized sculptures in the garden for the stations of the cross. Beautiful mosaics surrounding the sacred waters. Sparkling clean public toilets by the gift shop in the parking lot.Written October 12, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rodney PAuckland, New Zealand296 contributionsIf you are in Ortona the do take time out to view the castle as it is just on the edge of the older part of town. Visit either during the daytime or nighttime as the gate is open til late.Written January 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
