Casa Isabella B&B

A true gem in every sense of the world. Marco and Isabella were the most enthusiastic and kind hosts. I had the BEST food during my entire stay cooked by them and loved every bite. I'll remember this place for a long time. Grazie Mille! Barton from England

What a wonderful welcoming home in a beautiful small village. Isabella and Marco go above and beyond to ensure you have all the comforts of home. Their home is very elegant with so many interesting antiques. We have stayed at many B & B's especially throughout Italy and Casa Isabella is by far the best. The ensuite bathroom is gorgeous and very clean, as is the bedroom. I can't say enough about the delicious breakfast. Marco is an excellent cook and every day we were served eggs cooked to perfection along with toast, sweets, fruit, etc. and coffee in our room before breakfast. It is very evident that Isabella and Marco are very proud of their venture and go to great lengths to make your stay comfortable. We certainly hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you Isabella and Marco for making our 4 days in La Rocca so memorable. Lena and Domenico

What an amazing experience we had at this lovely B&B. Isabella and Marco could not have been any more gracious. We arrived around lunch and our hosts were kind enough to make us a delicious lunch. We were so appreciative of their kindness. Our room was gorgeous, beautiful linens, comfy pillows, and very quiet. Our breakfast the next morning, on the terrace was out of this world. Eggs and bacon, local pastries, yogurt with honey and pine nuts, fresh fruit, fresh pear juice, coffee, tea. Let’s just say we didn’t need lunch. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay for a couple more nights.

This place is a very special labor of love in a charming small village on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo. Marco and Isabella are the epitome of hospitality and welcomed, fed and advised us throughout a two night stay. They wheeled a coffee cart into our room before breakfast, led or delivered us to restaurants and even did a load of laundry for us at a reasonable cost. The villa and 3 antique period rooms are magnificent and the large terrace where they serve breakfast (and wine with delicious home made snacks) was a big plus. This is the place to spend a few days if you want a memorable stay in a very interesting and lovely part of Italy. We thought it was a bargain too.

We were interested in a unique vacation in the Abruzzo region, and found the Trabocci, the restaurant structures built over the seashore offering truly fresh seafood. So we decided to find a hotel/B&B nearby, if possible. The little city of Rocca San Giovanni seemed to fit the bill and we booked with Casa Isabella, an historic property. We weren't expecting much more than a comfortable inn but boy were we surprised! We were met by the B&B's namesake owner, Isabella, and immediately offered some refreshment. (Isabella incidentally was an international high fashion model, still very glamourous, and stylish) The inn offers three elegant rooms, beautifully decorated, with period furniture on one hand and modern bathrooms, fully stocked with quality toiletries and plenty of towels on the other hand. Our room, the Donna Ermina, was attractive and quiet, the bed comfortable, and the room completely serviced every day. The breakfasts were wonderful...fresh pastries, juices, fruit, eggs to order. In good weather, guests were seated on an outdoor terrace. A special touch was Isabella bringing a teacart with "the first cup of coffee" to one's room at whichever time guests preferred. And during our stay Marco, Isabella's husband and partner (and chef!) sent guests off each day with sandwiches. Free parking was available nearby in several areas close to the B&B. The best part of this inn was the owners hospitality and generosity, the worst was having to leave at the end of our stay.

Traumhaftes Haus, wundervolle Gastgeber Marco und Isabella sind 5* Gastgeber, besser als in einem Luxus Hotel wird man empfangen und umsorgt. Die Lage ist wunderschön, das Haus. die Zimmer sind traumhaft! Genau so stellt man sich Italien vor.
