    Beautiful apartment in a beautiful location, but the breakfast could be improved.

    The breakfast was a bit poor, only packaged sweet products (cake, biscuits, jam, nutella, small yogurt, small juice), at least butter or eggs would have been nice.

    Beautiful apartment, well equipped, amazing view from the bedroom.

    Some bird didn't like us staying there, it was hitting window even doring the night! Maybe ghost?!?! :-D

    I would recommend owner to take better pictures of the view as its very beautiful. Even two people can't fit the little balcony there is option to spend evening on terrace of next house. Basic Italian breakfast is ready for you in the room. Owner Sante seems like funny charming chap.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Everything. The apartment was just lovely, clean, well equipped. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The owner helped me so much as I had brought the wrong phone charger with me, and he drove 45mins to bring me a new one, it was so appreciated, and very kind, because I don't know how my holiday would have continued without it, as there are no electrical shops near. Thankyou again.

    The place is old, the bed could be more comfortable and what is the issue with the towel?? more like a tablecloth. for us it was totally OK but I can see other friends of mine become annoyed about it.

    Beautiful village and from the apartment you will get the best view of the valley and the high mountains around.

    We really enjoyed the apartment. In the middle of a heat wave it stayed nice and cool. Santo Stefano di Sessiano is a gem. Owner friendly and helpful, provided plenty of information about the village and surrounding area. Not a problem for us, but note that not all the places that belong to Residence Belvedere have a view. We stayed in a small house with few windows which really helped to keep the heat out.

    A quiet apartment with an amazing view on the valley. Great spot for hiking and driving up to Campo Imperatore or down to L’Aquila. The apartment has all you need, breakfast ingredients are provided for you to prepare your breakfast according to your schedule, which worked out perfectly for us! Would definitely go back.

    A nice place in the Gran Sasso area

    Beds require an update. They are beautiful, mattresses are good, but they are not perfectly flat. I would add something for breakfast for those who don't drink coffee - like, a proper water boiler and some tea.

    Distributed B&B across the small town of Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Rooms are not rooms, but small apartments (well, some of them are not so small!), equipped with anything you might need. Owners are nice and gentle. In the flat's kitchen, guests can find a lot of stuff to have a good breakfast - biscuits, jam, yogurt and so on. The structure has a free parking a few meters away from all or most flats; all flats are well located to visit the town and to take mountain trails in the area (Rocca Calascio can be reached in 1h20m through a splendidly panoramic route). The Gran Sasso area (Campo Imperatore) is 35-40 minutes away.

    Excepting a washing machine as it was mentioned on the site, but there was none , specially if you coming for touring ( bicycle, walking in nature). Poor breakfast . Very noisy above the appartement until midnight , people are moving chairs and table around.

    Ok for 4 to 5 people but not for 2

    Electrical and sewage problems. Apartment 4 blew fuse on second night. Next morning moved to apartment 1. This apartment's bathroom also had no natural ventilation and a slight odour but the smell became discusting. Mentioned this to the owner. He said sewage odour was a municipal problem, nothing he could do about it and no compensation offered.

    Old world charm and amazing views.

    Breakfast was very poor, we have to buy extra food and milk for it because the one provided wasn't nearly enough not even for 1 night ( we stayed 2 ). Crusks were expired a month earlier and the promised freshly baked cake never happened. Location had no view as a huge scaffolding was built in front of our place.

    it’s a very long journey from Australia and very sad indeed when a huge renovation is taking place breaking the awesome peace and blocking most of the view. I booked months ago and the owners have about 8 apartments but saw fit to put me in this one. mind you the one next door would have been worse and people they put in that one were devastated and disappeared.

    this town of Santo Stefano Sessano is mind blowing. a compact town high in the mountains with amazing views and experiences. unfortunately I am 78 and travelling alone so did no climbing. lovely cool air after all the heat
