Period Accommodation in Marche
Acquasanta Terme
Castel di Luco. Only a short drive from Ascoli Piceno, Castel di Luco is a beautiful old fortress whose history stretches back almost one thousand years. Indeed, most of the ancient structure remains - testament to those who laboured to build it in the first place. The accommodation - only four suites - is situated in a fourteenth century part of the property. TripAdvisor

Period Accommodation in Abruzzo
Ascoli Piceno
Borgo Storico Seghetti Panichi. Located just a few miles to the east of Ascoli Piceno (and within easy reach of the Adriatic coast), this is not so much a period house, but more ‘‘periods’. Documents suggest a building on the site as long ago as circa 1300, and there are elements of the fifteenth to be found in the kitchens. The fine oratory dates from the late 16th century, while the main facade of the house was added in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. There are a number of suites within the Relais Villa, while there are a similar number of apartments in the Residenza San Pancrazio. LateRooms | Tripadvisor
Loreto Aprutino
Castello Chiola Dimora Storica. Situated in a medieval town, this ancient building was recently restored and opened as a 4-star hotel. Its origins are said to date back as far as 864 AD. LateRooms | Expedia
