We had a wonderful time - Salvatore is a gracious host, good cook, and generous person. The property is fascinating with artwork everywhere and a beautiful view - one of the most unique places we have ever stayed. The location was perfect for us, as we were able to park our car and walk into Ascoli. We think about Villa... More

Overall: Excellent: a villa in a park and yet within minutes of town if you don't mind stairs. And tthe host is very welcoming and accommodating and relaxed. We loved it. Check-in: The owner works in town; you'll need to tell him your time of arrival or have a phone to call when you arrive. Language: Italian with a tiny... More

I always like to visit Salvatore and Federica. I have stayed in many places throughout the world, including quite a few in Ascoli Piceno, but Villa Fortezza feels like a home away from home. The house is beautiful and comfortable, full of exquisite pieces of contemporary art, many of them works of the hosts themselves. The garden is serene with a... More

My husband and me had 5 nights at Villa Fortezza. Salvatore was very welcoming and friendly. The villa and garden are full of interesting pieces of art and are a joy to explore and look at. The villa is high up from the town so the views of Ascoli are wonderful. Our room was the 'space' room which is the... More

We spent almost a month in Italy this fall. Our week long stay at Villa Fortezza with Salvatore and Federica was the best part of our trip. Everything the other reviews say about Villa Fortezza is true. Salvatore and Federica are perfect hosts and have created a comfortable and unique lodging experience. Our room looked out over the city below... More

The four of us, parents and grown children, spent one night. We completely agree with the accolades of the previous reviews. The locaion of the house is wonderful. The rooms and the bathroom (not en suite) were wonderfully appointed, clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The whole experience was perfect. We just stopped for the night, but the... More

We enjoyed every bit of our vacation in Italy, but the one place that I keep thinking about is Ascoli Piceno and our wonderful 4-nite stay at Villa Fortezza. It is set in a beautiful park above the city with breathtaking views from windows that disappear into the wall. Breakfast was bountiful and made even more special by having it... More

Anyone who loves art, friendship and quality of life...That's the place in Ascoli Piceno. Salvatore and Federica are absolutely charming. The Villa Fortezza is with no doubt one of the best place we ever stayed in. Everything was perfect. From the restaurant recommandation to the little attention that the owner called one of his friend who speaks french to make... More

From the moment you arrive, Salvatore opens up his beautiful artists’ house to you. The rooms seem newly re-furbished and the bathrooms are superb. The garden invites exploration and the views down onto the town are fantastic. Breakfast was by far the best we had in four weeks of travel. When we had a problem with our car, our host... More
