B&B Residenza Amblingh

I enjoyed my stay and the Bed and Breakfast. The rooms are well appointed and the staff professional. It is in a good location. ||One thing to be aware of is that you cannot get to the lobby by car or transport. If you have luggage and mobility issues it is very challenging to navigate. It is not clear in the literature. They would benefit by having a hand rail to assist with states going into it as stairs are uneven and not well lit. ||If staff is available they can help if not busy. That is challenging in that they are only staffed from 8-10 and 4-8. Suggest using GPS to find it. Note many stairs if you go the wrong way with luggage. Luckily we had a driver who took our luggage there while we had lunch and returned with keys. Entrance by code as it was in a time not staffed. Departure we were assisted by Francesco on staff. Excellent. ||Breakfast is from 8-10 in a lovely roof hop area. Stairs do have hand rails. ||Well worth the effort but could be enhanced by making the outside easier to navigate.

Highly recommend for your stay in Vasto! Such lovely staff, ideal location, yummy breakfast and excellent rooms! Wouldn’t stay anywhere else for our holiday in Vasto. Thanks again for helping make our trip so amazing 🥰

Loved this elegant residenza. Staff was A+. Breakfast and rooftop dining area was beautiful. There is also a common reading area adjacent that was welcoming. We had the deluxe rooms with a view. The beds were comfy. Room was lovely as was the view. It was quiet. It had everything you need for a short stay including complimentary umbrella which we needed! Definitely recommend. We walked past the entrance to the B&B but it was us not them. It’s easy to find and parking was 3 min away on the street. Vasto is worth the visit. As is this B&B. Top!

The apartment Il Golfo was small but comfortable. The hosts & staff were accommodating and cheerful.|The view from the window was beautiful as was the views from the breakfast terrace.|The breakfast was in the main traditional Italian with fresh juice & coffee.|Toast, fresh Ham, cheese & spreads were available as was cereal.|The shower was a large walk in shower with good water pressure. Air conditioning was good for those hot days.

This is an enchanting place to stay in Vasto overlooking the Adriatic Sea next to the museum in the ancient town. The residence is beautifully renovated. Bedding is so comfy. Breakfast is wonderful. Location is idyllic. ||The staff there are awesome. Francesco was incredibly helpful to us answering all of our questions prior to booking and then welcoming us with such kindness and professionalism. It was our first trip to Italy. We loved this place and all the restaurants nearby in the beautiful town so steeped in history. The Palazzo d’Avalos museum was next door and so worthwhile to visit. Staff were so kind to us. ||A special thank you also to our driver from Taxi Nicola who got us to the train station on time. Thank you! And thanks to Francesco once again for helping. ||A wonderful and unforgettable visit! A bench in the little garden so we could sit outside would’ve been even more amazing.

My partner and I stumbled upon Vasto while on a road trip. This property was an excellent place to stay. Staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Instructions to enter the property and room were fantastic. Rooms , absolutely gorgeous and the view from them is outstanding so please book a sea view room, you won’t regret it. Great facilities, spotless clean and comfortable bed. Breakfast was lovely. Thank you to staff on all levels for a wonderful stay.

The good: The location is fantastic, with one of the best views in the old town. Our room faced the ocean and it was a pleasure to look out the window. There is also a gorgeous palazzo right by the building. Scenery really was unbeatable, both from the room and from the terrace. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great, with perfect water pressure. The room was spacious enough. The staff was friendly, the decor was in great taste and the breakfast was really good (we could have used some bacon and more variety of eggs instead of just boiled, though). The bad: Our room was “Il golfo” (all the rooms are named) and even though it was a really nice room with a fabulous view, it was unfortunately right under the terrace where everyone has breakfast, so we woke up every day to the very present sound of chairs being dragged upstairs, so we couldn’t sleep in properly. This was especially bad in the first two days, when there was family with kids staying (the kids were very noisy with the chairs), more bearable after they left. The host also said he would provide us with a sun umbrella for us to take to the beach, but that never showed up, unfortunately they forgot… Host was friendly enough , but really not as helpful and communicative as we would have liked. Also the wash basin position in the bedroom made little sense, to brush your teeth or shave you had to approach it from the side and look at the mirror from the side. Tips: The place is about a 5-10 minute walk from the parking spot they recommend, and if you follow their video you will get there fairly easily, but forget about using google maps, total fail at finding the place through there. Also there is a much cheaper and closer parking spot on the southern part of the old town, near the garden, but you'll only find parking there before 6pm - worth checking out after you arrive and are settled, though - it's a much simpler walk to the B&B and it's only 5 euros a day - the parking lot is a bit of a rip off if you're staying for several days.

Well, you just couldn’t find a better location in Vasto than this: right along the scenic overlook in in the old city of Vasto, next to the Palazzo D’Avalos. This is a small property run by a genial, extremely attentive and detail-oriented host who tries to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The rooms are modern, well laid out and comfortable. We had the Palazzo D’Avalos suite, which overlooks the palace itself and affords great sea views. Very nice. The sunny breakfast room on the 2nd floor has its own wonderful view up and down the coast. Given it’s location, the entire centro storico lies literally at your feet. A great walking town. Two caveats: 1.) Parking—The B & B sits in a lovely area pedonale, which is a ZTL. Best parking is in a covered (paid) lot about 6-7 minutes away by foot, on Via Garibaldi. FYI. The walk with rollaboard suitcases is level and over smooth cobblestones, until the last few yards. 2.) The entrance—is somewhat obscured behind the restaurant underneath the B & B. We couldn’t find it, and when we called the proprietor to let us in, he insisted we watch the video link he sent us in a reservation confirmation note. (We never received this video, so he had to come retrieve us.) So if make a reservation, be sure to watch the video beforehand. In every other respect this was a real find, in a city that’s a small gem.
