The relais is situated in the enchanting Aterno Valley, a strategic location for discovering some of the natural and historical wonders of the Abruzzo hinterland. Just a few kilometers away are the spectacular Stiffe Caves, a fascinating system of karst cavities traversed by an underground river that forms lakes, waterfalls, and stunning natural landscapes.
In the vicinity, visitors can also explore Lake Sinizzo, a small karst lake with emerald-green waters, surrounded by meadows and trees, making it an ideal spot for walks, picnics, and moments of relaxation in nature.
The area also boasts numerous charming villages rich in history. Capestrano, with its impressive Piccolomini Castle and the beautiful Romanesque church of San Pietro ad Oratorium, is a must-visit for art and history enthusiasts. Among the most captivating destinations is Rocca Calascio, famous for its ancient fortress located over 1400 meters above sea level, offering extraordinary views of the surrounding mountains.
Nearby is Bominaco, a small medieval gem known for the Oratory of San Pellegrino, a Romanesque chapel adorned with remarkable frescoes depicting sacred and symbolic scenes. Nature lovers and those interested in rural traditions should also visit the area of Pagliare, ancient pastoral villages that bear witness to the history of vertical transhumance between the Aterno Valley and the high-altitude pastures of Sirente.
Thanks to its privileged location and welcoming atmosphere, Relais Le Bifore serves as the perfect starting point for discovering the most authentic soul of Abruzzo, with its pristine landscapes, historically rich villages, and captivating natural itineraries.

The property is located in a well-restored house in the historic center. The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are new and the property is very clean. Lucilla is the added value, very sweet and always helpful. The terrace is spectacular: I would suggest having the hot tub ready. Finally, I believe the breakfast service should be slightly revised to add extra value to the stay.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Eclinzia, La ringraziamo per gli splendidi voti dedicati alla pulizia, alla struttura e alla disponibilità di Lucilla. Tuttavia, siamo rimasti sorpresi dal suo commento sull'idromassaggio. Come le era stato comunicato per iscritto prima dell'arrivo, e come lei stessa ha ribadito a voce a Lucilla al momento del check-in, aveva confermato di non essere intenzionata a usufruire del servizio vasca, che prevede un supplemento. Essendo la struttura condivisa con altri ospiti, la vasca viene igienizzata, preparata e riscaldata solo su specifica prenotazione. Non avrebbe avuto senso prepararla sapendo che avevate scelto di non usufruirne. Per quanto riguarda la colazione, ci dispiace che non abbia pienamente soddisfatto le vostre aspettative. Trattandosi di una casa vacanze, optiamo per una formula self-service h24 per lasciare massima libertà di orario, mettendo sempre a disposizione un assortimento vario con dolci, croissant, cereali, fette biscottate, muffins, ciambelloni, biscotti, confetture, yogurt, succhi, latte e macchina del caffè sempre accessibile. Al vostro arrivo Lucilla, oltre a mostrarvi tutte le proposte a disposizione, vi ha esplicitamente chiesto se aveste particolari esigenze o preferenze; non avendo ricevuto alcuna richiesta e avendo anzi registrato solo i vostri complimenti durante tutto il soggiorno, pensavamo fosse tutto di vostro gradimento. Ho saputo che anche lei gestisce una struttura ricettiva, le auguro una proficua stagione. Cordiali saluti.
