I stayed at Via Piana in mid April and had a wonderful time. Since there are only a few rooms the guests are given special attention and we could always count on Anna(manager) to assist us. During our stay we visited the local shepherd and saw how ricotta cheese was made, went horseback riding, did lots of hiking, visited an... More

I had a wonderful experience at Via Piana. The setting is absolutely gorgeous, nestled in the Italian foothills of the Abruzzi National Park. If you're looking for an Italian experience that takes you off the beaten-path, go here! Aside from being surrounded by natural beauty, there is much to do in the neighboring villages and countryside. Sora is just a... More

If you want to experience the countryside and get the feel of Italy in a more intimate way, then this is likely the place for you. It is not the easiest place to find but (a highlight topic of our trip) when we asked for help in Sora, someone (a stranger picking up his child from school) had us FOLLOW... More

My stay at Via Piana (http://www.italycountrystay.com/index.html) in Pescosolido was been wonderful. This rustic B & B is located at the edge of the Abruzzi National Park in the mountainous Italian countryside. It's a perfect way to experience a non-touristic side of Italy but still easily accessible via a short (2 hours) and inexpensive (5 €) bus from Rome. There's no... More

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Italy that is fairly near Rome (about two hours’ bus journey away) but surrounded by heartbreakingly beautiful mountain scenery; if you want to escape from the tourist trail and get to know an Italy and a community where most people make (and sell) their own wine and grow their own vegetables; and...

This place is awesome. The staff is warm and welcoming and incredibly helpful. I was traveling on my own and I had the sense of being welcomed into a large family. Anna (the manager) is wonderful--she picked us up from the bus stop and also drove us to the nearby city (Sora) when we needed to go there for something.... More

I stay in hot summer, but comfortable wind came to nice single room that huge and hand made. Anna was great and kindly everything.I'd like to go again.

If I could only pick one place to stay in Italy (which was my situation) I would pick Via Piana in Pescosolido. It is an ideal location for many reasons. I was initially attracted to it because it was only two hours from Rome and Naples. As a young Latin teacher, I prized the opportunity to visit the ancient sites... More

A lot of things have already been said about this place but I want to emphasize: Beautiful countryside, beautiful people, attentive and friendly service. Anna was great, very approachable and responsive, always with a smile. Our room was spacious, had a great view of Sora and the valley below. Electricity in the room, hot water in the common shower, and... More
