HOW TO REACH US

BY CAR

For those coming from Rome: take the A24 Roma-Teramo highway, exiting at L'Aquila Ovest. At the exit turn left towards the historic center, and then continue straight ahead, first on Viale Corrado IV, and then on Via XX Settembre. At the end of this road, after about 3 km, you will see the Grand Hotel; we are located only a few meters to the rear. In any case, signs for Hotel San Michele are also along the roads.

For those coming from Teramo (A24 highway): exit at the L'Aquila Est tollbooth. At the exit be careful to take toward the historic center, turning left and then immediately right. After about 1.5 km you will see the town cemetery; turn left immediately after its main entrance. Then continue slightly downhill for about 1 km until you will see in the upper left corner the back of the Collemaggio monastery. At this point go up to the right, go through the tunnel and at the exit take a left to go up Viale di Collemaggio, then take the second right to go down Viale Crispi and turn right onto Via Luigi Rendina: you can reach the hotel by turning immediately left onto Via San Michele.

For those coming from the S.S. 17 (from Pescara or Sulmona): the natural entrance to the town is Porta Napoli, which is accessed very simply by continuing straight on S.S. 17 to the end. Then, past the gate, go up viale Crispi for about 700 meters, then turn right onto via Luigi Rendina, then immediately left to go along via San Michele.
