In the medieval jewel of Loreto Aprutino, an ancient residence with remote origins from around the year 864, hosts Castello Chiola, a hotel and conference centre of the highest level. This impressive palace which arises from the top of a hill, enjoys enchanting views over the surrounding plains as far as the sea, and over the hills as far as the mountains, due to its privileged position between the mountains of the Gran Sasso and the sandy coast of the Adriatic sea. Fantasies and suppositions alternate on the real origins of the castle: the first historical documents testify that in the premedieval times it  was the first  tower of guards of the Longobardi, then it became residence of noble families  from the century XIII, and  shelter for holy, warriors, noble and emperors, until it came to the hands of the family Chiola that lived themselves there until 1995. After a careful refurbishment to preserve the glamour, the mystery and the architectural features,  it finally opened its doors to the public with a perfect balance between an imposing exterior and the elegance and the beauty of inside lounges with wonderful vaulted ceilings, which form a charming and unforgettable context for organizing important meetings,  parties and banquets. The spacious rooms, with very high ceilings, are furnished with precious works of art, and equipped with modern amenities providing a romantic and luxurious atmosphere. An outstanding old yard transformed, thanks to a daring covering in aluminium and glass, is the complement for a perfect stay. A place for relaxing, meeting for cocktails, drinks, buffet and exhibitions.
Without fear the Castello Chiola is one of the most evocative structures and full of charm places that this attractive region has to offer.
