Villa Dragonetti is only a few kilometres away from l’Aquila, the capital of Abruzzo and within a short drive from the Gran Sasso National Park.

The hotel was originally built in the 16th century as a private summer residence for the Dragonetti de Torres family. In the 18th century the villa was almost entirely decorated with frescoes by french artists.
The hotel is unique in the fact that it only has 10 rooms (3 of them recently built in the dependance overlooking the knot gardens on ground floor level. They are smaller and are decorated in a country style, but air-conditioned), each named after a colour, and the decoration of each is truly individual and in keeping with the period of the building.
The public rooms are adorned with ancient family relics and paintings.
Villa Dragonetti is also set in lovely gardens where guests can enjoy an aperitif before their evening meal. The restaurant is well known for its cuisine and its speciality regional dishes and it is always opened at diner for the hotel guests.
