We chose the 3-star Hotel Duca degli Abruzzi in L'Aquila as the tour base for most of the 14-day tour period, as the town offers a centralized position, allowing us to easily reach all the places included in the tour itineraries.

The Hotel Duca, completely renowned this year, offers all the amenities and first-class service, including air conditioning.
Situated in the historical center of L'Aquila, Abruzzo's regional capital, the Duca is only a 5-minute walk from Piazza del Duomo, the heart of the city, and home to a traditional daily market, many stores, bars, trattorie, pizzerie and gelaterie.
You will enjoy evening strolls on the city's friendly narrow streets and breathing the fresh,

cool mountain air that makes Abruzzo such a paradise during Italy's hot summers.
The hotel provides en suite rooms with air-conditioning, private baths, telephone and satellite TV. Single rooms are available as an option. And authentic meals will be served in the panoramic rooftop renowned restaurant, overlooking the

medieval city's tiled roofs amid the highest mountains in the Apennines. Traditional Abruzzese and Italian cuisine is served, with a daily choice of primi and secondi piatti, desserts, wine, and other beverages. Continental breakfasts (including croissants, pastries, espresso, cappuccino, and American coffee) will be served, where there is also an American-style bar.
Also, the remarkable hotel terrace is available for your free time.
