There are too many good things about this Agriturismo. The location Is magical with amazing views. The room was just fine and the bed very comfortable. Everything was clean too We had dinner here and it was delicious and very good value for money. The staff is lovely and friendly. They had kittens and very friendly dogs... We spent only one night but would love to come back and stay longer. The agriturismo Is very close to many nearby attractions too!

These are not dislikes - just observations. We would have liked some more savoury options at breakfast eg eggs. All the homemade sweet options, yoghurts etc were beautiful however. I would have liked the option of selecting a choice at dinner to reduce the amount of food waste. For example I would have liked the option of reducing either a course (pasta) or ask for smaller portions. The food was exceptional but we found it too much by the 3rd course!

Terrific hospitality, great food and setting. Cannot fault it.

Not even a con, but the drive and roads up to the property were narrow and tough to drive for a small city car. The drive was part of the experience though and there were such amazing views along the way!

We stayed at five different accommodations during our eight days in Italy and this was BY FAR the best. Great location (views are STUNNING), great people, great room, great property, great food, great EVERYTHING. Immediately felt at home here and welcomed by the family that owns this. Dinner was an amazing 5 course meal and breakfast was perfect to eat on the terrace. The wine was amazing! So many cats and dogs to love on and everyone staying here was extremely friendly. I would recommend this place a million times over.

It would make sense to have a couples of chairs on the room terrasse with a view of the Maiella! It is a minor thing, and maybe we were there just too early in the season.

We stayed 3 nights and took the car from the Agriturismo to do some hiking around the Maiella massif. We enjoyed the beautiful landscape, which can be seen directly from the room. Food was always very appreciated (we had good dinners in the evening as well as the amazing breakfasts). The hosts were friendly and it feels you are treated as a guest rather than a customer.

Wonderful location , although a bit far from the nearest big town it is located in a wonderful area in the middle of countryside. Superb view of the mountains. Delicious breakfast and dinner. Everything was from local producers and genuine food ! Super friendly stuff .

Amazing farm house, with a wonderful garden. The breakfast was superb

Breakfast was very Italian, which means mostly sweet. I eat a savoury breakfast....it was fine for one day but I think if I stayed longer I would need to request more savoury options

Beautiful location with great balcony/terrace views. Was a great as it had many places worth visiting close by. We had dinner there and it was great -all local and home-grown food with good wine and digestivo. Would definitely come here again and spend more time

An exceptional authentic Italian cultural experience that exceeded our expectations. The family/owners were warm and welcoming. The location and bedroom view was beautiful. No need to eat somewhere else the dinner served was delicious and homemade using ingredients grown on sight. Truly amazing. The pasta was homemade and so was the dessert. Breakfast was exquisite.

nothing not to like. Everything was perfect!

Excellent breakfast options! Cafe was wonderful! The property was stunning and the location breathtaking. Our expectations were surpassed in every way. The owners were welcoming and made us feel like family. The evening meal was wonderful. If you want to experience the 'real Italy' a stay at Borgo San Martino is highly recommended!!! We can't wait to return. A la prossima...grazie mille!

The peaceful setting and the fact that they served dinner each night was a great plus. Comfortable rooms and good sized bathrooms. Courteous and friendly staff. Loved the balcony and deck chairs to sit outside.

Absolutely nothing. It was all wonderful.

I loved everything about my nine day stay with Il Portone. The owners are not just wonderful at what they do, but they are lovely humans. My trip to this region was for very personal reasons and with great intention and everyone there helped me see my mission through. I miss being there already and I just left! I am so grateful I stayed at Il Portone. Thank you, Donatella and Giancarlo for all you did for me. Grazie per tutto.
