Paradiso Country House

Upon arrival, check in was not supposed to be until 3pm. However after we had been picked up from the airport, The owners son made us a cappuccino explained everything to us, and checked us in at around 11:00 am. The room was massive, even the bathroom you could do cartwheels in. We had a balcony backing onto the bathroom with a view of the road outside and the balcony that opened up from the bedroom with a view of the valley and pool. We had fresh towels every single day and the maids did a beautiful job of cleaning the room everyday. They even noticed that I had used the blanked from the wardrobe as it got quite chilly at night due to us going late September and they made the bed with the blanket in the next day. The following morning, The took us down to pescara center at 10am, the same every morning completely free of charge and picked us up at 5pm. This saved us a lot of money as it usually costs around 20 euros in a taxi each way. Even at night when the owners son was going home, if we wanted to go down to the bars he would take us. We had his mobile number and he assured us if we had any problems at all to call him. Breakfast was continental with croissants, yogurts, fruit, bread, jams, cakes and other pastry's. Lunch was either a set menu (3 course around 12-15 euros pp) or you could pick your own food from the menu individually priced. We only ate in the hotel twice as there were plenty of other places to eat in the center and we like to try different things. Our bill never exceeded 25 euros for two of us including drinks (full bottles of wine). If you're wanting to stay local, round the corner about 10 minutes up the hill is also a lovely restaurant with amazing views of the valley and sea. We had a fantastic time and the hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Didn't get the owners son's name (Sorry!) But he was fantastic and really made our time there comfortable and enjoyable.
