Villa Maria Hotel and Spa

Perched on a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea, minutes from modern Pescara and set in Francavilla al Mare. Abruzzo National Park and the touristic port are about 30 minutes away. A private beach sits 1.5 km off-site and is reachable by hotel shuttle.

Set inside a 60,000 m² park of olive trees, the hotel feels like a coastal oasis. There are 87 rooms with sea or garden views—standard and superior options, 11 Deluxe rooms with terraces, plus nine Junior and one Master Suite (the Master has a mini indoor heated pool). Rooms come with minibar, satellite TV, direct-dial phone and air conditioning. Expect park-side bars, private outdoor parking and a relaxed seaside vibe.

Wellness facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, a Turkish bath and a Finnish sauna, plus personalized face and body treatments and a medical spa offering aesthetic and nutritional support. Outdoor pool and park bar invite lazy afternoons. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll to the private beach by shuttle.

A fully equipped congress center features seven meeting rooms that host groups from 8 up to 200 people, with private spaces for tailored events.

The hotel restaurant serves refined interpretations of regional Abruzzo cuisine, harmonizing local tradition and ingredients. In summer guests are treated to barbecue dishes, and the bar in the park keeps things casual and social.
