Cortese ed efficiente il servizio di colazione, più che soddisfacente per qualità e quantità, grazie anche ad una cucina molto ben attrezzata ed efficiente. Per il resto, va bene la spartanità che concilia lo spirito, ma c'è un limite a tutto, quindi anche alla spartanità di un ostello. Camera e bagno angusti, con mobilio ingombrante e inadeguato; carenza evidente di pulizia, con diffusa presenza di ragni e insetti lungo muri e pavimenti; nel bagno, intere file di piastrelle in procinto di cadere in terra; doccia che non scarica; cattivi odori provenienti da doccia, lavabo e bidet ogni volta che si aprono i rubinetti e quindi si scarica; totale assenza di luci in camera, fatta eccezione per un faro che però si comanda dall'esterno (!). Non si discute il luogo stupendo e la benemerita iniziativa di fare dell'Eremo un ostello, ma non basta la buonissima volontà dei pochissimi addetti, occorrono pur sempre un personale sufficiente, una competenza e un'esperienza adeguate all'impresa. Oltretutto ci vorrebbe relativamente poco ad eliminare gli inconvenienti citati. ##### Sebastiano Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sicuramente chi sceglie un eremo per soggiornare non può aspettarsi il classico albergo. Qui le stanze sono le vecchie cellette dei frati, piccole e raccolte solo l'essenziale, ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alessandro 12 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Soggiorno in un incantevole Eremo Celestiniano Un soggiorno piacevole in uno degli incantevoli eremi del Parco della Majella, situato nel verde e con un affaccio bellissimo sulla vallata. La struttura è per sua natura spartana, ma offre tutti i servizi essenziali agli avventori. Gentilissime e disponibilissime tutte le ragazze che gestiscono l'eremo, in particolare Anna Maria e Angela, che ci hanno dato tutte le informazioni di cui avevamo bisogno e tanti spunti per escursioni e posticini dove mangiare. Torneremo sicuramente. Una esperienza consigliata a tutti gli amanti della natura e della storia. ##### Alessandro Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Residence Eden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelnuovo-Del-Garda-Hotels-Residence-Eden.h2750223.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caesius Thermae & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bardolino-Hotels-Hotel-Caesius-Thermae-Spa-Resort.h1797608.Hotel-Information) > > [Sextantio Albergo Diffuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santo-Stefano-Di-Sessanio-Hotels-Sextantio-Albergo-Diffuso.h3624005.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqualux Hotel Spa & Suite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bardolino-Hotels-Aqualux-Hotel-Spa-Suite.h4897494.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SantAgnello-Hotels-Majestic-Palace-Hotel.h45862.Hotel-Information) > > [La Villa del Re - Adults Only - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiadas-Hotels-La-Villa-Del-Re-Adults-Only.h8115105.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Parco del Sole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SantAgnello-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Parco-Del-Sole.h1566512.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casole-DElsa-Hotels-Castello-Di-Casole.h5058985.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Botania Relais & Spa - The Leading Hotels of the World.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forio-Hotels-Botania-Relais-Spa.h6133363.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Rosa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Desenzano-Del-Garda-Hotels-Villa-Rosa-Hotel.h1115070.Hotel-Information) > > [Du Lac et Du Parc Grand Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riva-Del-Garda-Hotels-Du-Lac-Et-Du-Parc-Grand-Resort.h19471.Hotel-Information) > > [Lido Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riva-Del-Garda-Hotels-Lido-Palace-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h4395253.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel La Pace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SantAgnello-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-La-Pace.h968861.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo San Luigi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteriggioni-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-San-Luigi.h527532.Hotel-Information) > > [Residenza Olivo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garda-Hotels-Residence-Olivo.h39084455.Hotel-Information) > > [Campeggio del Garda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peschiera-Del-Garda-Hotels-Campeggio-Del-Garda.h12531546.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cefalu-Hotels-Costa-Verde.h897883.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gargnano-Hotels-Lefay-Resort-SPA-Lago-Di-Garda.h2239660.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Flora](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sorrento-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Flora.h919640.Hotel-Information) > > [Alimuri Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meta-Hotels-Mar-Hotel-Alimuri-Spa.h1060317.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Palma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stresa-Hotels-Hotel-La-Palma.h1163510.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Du Lac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menaggio-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Lac.h2525952.Hotel-Information) > > [The Signature Level at Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Garden-Beach-Resort-Spa.h42025780.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Santo Pietro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiusdino-Hotels-Relais-Borgo-Santo-Pietro.h4644735.Hotel-Information) > > [Nastro Azzurro Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Piano-Di-Sorrento-Hotels-Nastro-Azzurro-Resort.h1060310.Hotel-Information)
