Hotel Degli Olmi

I stayed in this hotel as part of a group on a weeklong group walking holiday in the Abruzzo area. The hotel was fantastic, my room was spotless every day, very quiet at night, the food was nice and the staff could not do enough to make us happy and help us with anything we needed. On days that the weather was good enough, the pool was open which was a bonus. The hotel is situated in the centre of Villetta Barrea, but very close to the lake, so perfect for a walk along the lake to Barrea. The entire holiday was fantastic and the hotel certainly made a considerable contribution to that.

I stayed one week travelling solo with a group. Everything was excellent; above all the staff, who did everything to make our stay perfect. The food was delicious, I had breakfast and dinner and packed lunches. I’m vegan and every night I was offered a choice of dishes, each one was specially prepared and full of flavour and nutrients. Guiseppe (I hope I spell this correctly) was so helpful, attentive and cheerful at every meal. As a group we hiked every day and dinner was a treat to look forward to in the evening. Thank you for a wonderful stay in this very special place.

Olmi is a comfortable, modern hotel within the village of Villetta Barrea. A perfect choice for us. They have a lot of amenities for any season, including a pool, a spa, attractive grounds and an in-house restaurant with higher-end cuisine. The have their own parking lot, which is a plus to anyone driving in. Staff is very friendly and extremely responsive. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed. Easily walkable to everything in the village, and to the neighboring areas and Lago Barrea. A perfect base if you’re exploring the Parco Nazionale D’Abruzzo, or wandering up the Gole Saggittario. I’d recommend the property without hesitation, and will certainly stay there again when we return to this magical area.

Very enjoyable stay, the staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble. This is a delightful hotel in a beautiful location. The cool pool at the end of a day walking in the mountains was most welcome. It is spotlessly clean with delicious food.

This family run hotel, on the edge of a lakeside village in rural Abruzzo is an absolute gem. We stayed there as part of a walking group in unseasonably wet weather and the hotel owners and staff pulled out every stop to make us comfortable. The rooms are simple but spotless, with comfortable beds and good showers, and were cleaned daily. The food is traditional for the region and varied, and the very specific dietary requirements of some of our group were responded to with great care. Beyond the hotel the village of Villetta Barrea and, at the other end of the lake, Barrea are charming, and the surrounding countryside, a protected nature reserve, simply beautiful, with abundant wild flowers at this time of year and, when the rain stops, cuckoo song all around. Our thanks to our delightful hosts and staff.

Hotel Degli Olmi was like another home away from home! All the staffs were so accommodating and very kind. We came here as part of our college class and had such an excellent time. The hotel is very clean, there is a great gym, pool, and much more. It is located in a convenient location, where you could walk into town easily. The food here made by Chef Dodo and Ivan was amazing. There was always a lot of variety and creative dishes. They accommodated all dietary needs our classmates had. We had the luxury of eating breakfasts, lunch, and dinner every day for about 10 days. I would love to come back again!
