A welcoming and well-maintained property, "Il Fortino" proved to be an excellent choice for a quiet and comfortable stay. Although it's located about 3 km from the historic center of Celano, its location is strategic for those wishing to explore the village and embark on excursions to discover the natural beauty of Abruzzo.
The family-run property immediately demonstrates the owner's genuine dedication to their guests: their kindness, helpfulness, and attention to detail make them feel right at home. The rooms are spotless, tidy, and quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay.
Breakfast, simple but appropriate for a guesthouse, is a pleasant start to the day. The internal parking in the garden is also very convenient, providing added security for those traveling by car.
There is no on-site restaurant.
A recommended option for both short stays and as a base for exploring the Sirente-Velino Park and the wonders of the Abruzzo Apennines. A true haven of genuine hospitality.

Beautiful property just 3 minutes from the center of Celano. We've used it several times as a starting point for treks. Private indoor parking. Spacious, clean rooms with air conditioning and refrigerator. Breakfast starts at 8:00, but for those like us with different needs, you can make your own earlier with products (jams, Nutella, yogurt, milk, tea, coffee maker, and tart) left available. The owner is very kind and also gave us suggestions for restaurants and treks.

We had the privilege of staying at this place and honestly, it is extraordinary. Rita and Gianluca are very welcoming and warm. The place is steeped in Italian culture with its typical dishes and breathtaking scenery. I recommend it 100%. Thank you Rita and Gianluca and thank you Il Fortino!

Every year we take a lovely motorcycle tour with my in-laws, and Abruzzo is always one of our favorite destinations. This time we stopped in Celano and discovered the Hotel Il Fortino: a wonderful surprise! Professionalism, quality, and truly competitive prices. Kudos to all the staff, especially the owners' mother: a very kind lady, always available... and her tarts are truly delicious! The room was clean, welcoming, and the bed very comfortable. A truly pleasant stay—we'll definitely be back!

After spending a few days on our motorbikes along the beautiful roads of Abruzzo, and on our way back, we stumbled upon this truly charming little hotel. Reasonable prices, excellent cleanliness, and a fantastic welcome. A very pleasant discovery that we will definitely keep in mind whenever we pass through this area. Highly recommended!
