Fortress of Civitella del Tronto

Great location on the beach among other six and seven story hotels. Likely was an elegant, refined hotel when it was built now slightly worn and out of fashion. With that said, the rate I paid was so low I was surprised how nicely kept the place is. Included in the very affordable rate was an extensive, very good breakfast Buffett that offered scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, an array of meats, fruits, yogurts, breads, and pastries and coffee to order in a dining room with panoramic views of the Adriatic. That alone was worth Euro 15-20. The staff was exemplary.
