The Convento di San Colombo is a unique structure, an ancient 13th-century Franciscan convent transformed into a charming hotel, located in Barisciano, a few kilometers from the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. It offers a stay experience that combines the spirituality of the place with modern comfort, immersed in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility typical of the Abruzzo mountains.
The rooms, housed in the ancient monastic cells, maintain a historical charm combined with elegant sobriety. Each room is furnished with simplicity and taste, featuring solid wood furniture, terracotta floors, and warm colors. All accommodations are equipped with heating, TV, and private bathrooms. The natural sound insulation of the thick walls ensures a deep and restful sleep. Free WiFi is available in common areas.
The Convent’s restaurant offers Abruzzo regional cuisine, focused on rediscovering ancient local recipes and the use of zero-kilometer products. Most ingredients, such as cheeses and cured meats, come from nearby Gran Sasso farms. The meal is served in the old refectory, a suggestive setting that enhances the genuine flavors of the pastoral and peasant tradition. The property also offers half-board service.
Guests can enjoy the common areas which include the cloister, the deconsecrated church, and the large garden, ideal for moments of meditation and reading. The hotel features multipurpose halls that can be used for meetings, spiritual retreats, or private events. Free private parking is available on site. The staff is available to organize guided excursions and outdoor activities in the Park.
The Convent is strategically located for those wishing to explore the nature and historic villages of Abruzzo. It is close to the Campo Imperatore Plateau, Rocca Calascio, and the capital L’Aquila. The combination of art, history, and nature makes Convento di San Colombo the perfect destination for a slow and conscious tourism.
