La Dimora del Baco offers a convenient location close to the center of L’Aquila, while remaining in a quiet and peaceful area. The rooms are spacious, with modern furnishings and a clean, minimalist design. Bathrooms and showers are large and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort. Staff were courteous and helpful, and the atmosphere of the hotel is calm and relaxed. A solid option for those looking for space, quiet, and easy access to the city.
Very Nice and quiet place with garden. The rooms are large and modern. Very good wellcome from the staff.
We have traveled extensively during the past two years, and therefore, we have learned what to look for before choosing a hotel. I would have never thought of asking a hotel that is listed on Booking.com, and having air-conditioning as one of their "amenities" on Booking's and the hotel's website, whether or not the A/C is available 24 hours per day? We checked in on Sept. 16 at around 5pm. The hotel is attractive, modern and everything seemed fine during the check-in (the receptionist was very kind and professional). When we got to our room we realized that the A/C was off and the temperature in the room was just around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I switched the A/C on and lowered the temperature. After about 20 mins. nothing had changed. I will not dwell on the many details of what ensued, but the short of it is that the hotel CLAIMS that the municipality of L'Aquila restricts the hotel (a PRIVATE business) from running A/C (AND also HEATING in the winter) as needed. "Only from 6pm to 9pm" I was told. We left for dinner and returned around 10pm. Upon arrival the temp. was 25 degrees Celsius, now, 5 hours later it had dropped 1 degree to 24 Celsius and the A/C was no longer running (it was after 9pm). We tried to sleep with our window open, but unfortunately the very loud music from a live band for a wedding at the hotel, did not allow that. Bottom line: a miserable stay. Neither Booking.com nor the Hotel La Dimora del Baco on both of their websites, notify you as a prospective guest that this hotel only has air-conditioning during certain (very limited) hours. I contacted Booking.com about this three (3) times but received zero response.
