Montesilvano

Travel Guide
Photo provided by Expedia
One of the finer destinations along Italy’s eastern coast is this sandy resort and historic hub which offers shopping trips and fun days at the beach.

Montesilvano is a photogenic town, with the Gran Sasso mountain range hovering beyond the hilly Old Town district and the beaches of the marina area. Come here as a day-trip from the neighboring city of Pescara or stay for a while to get to know the area. Choose from the eclectic selection of hotels, guest houses and apartments for your stay.

The town has a typical Adriatic layout, with a clear divide between the beachside Montesilvano Marina and the Old Town quarter, known as Montesilvano Colle. Consider the intriguing history of the region, as you wander through the medieval citadel, a hilly area dotted with ruins and fortifications.

Marvel at the well-preserved white structure of the 13th-century Church of Madonna della Neve. It features medieval frescoes and sculptures of religious themes.

Appreciate the vista of verdant hills and the Adriatic Sea, as you climb up to the Parrocchia San Michele Arcangelo, also dating from the 1200s. Gaze up at the imposing bell tower and clock and enter to see the statue of the Madonna of the Graces.

Enjoy typical Italian cuisine at the old-fashioned pizzerias scattered along the sloping lanes. Get to the lower beach resort area via the town’s bus system. Spread across the vast Montesilvano Beach are countless sun loungers and cafés, while tall hotel complexes span the strand’s rear. Enjoy the hot and dry summers with a dip in the sea.

For wet days, the Porto Allegro Mall is a modern hub by the Saline River with a multiplex cinema and myriad stores and restaurants. Join the locals in a game of bowling or pool at the Bowling Pin Palace.

An interesting fact about Montesilvano is that it is the birthplace of the father of iconic crooner Dean Martin. Find the town on the Adriatic Coast, 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of Pescara’s city center.

Montesilvano is an idyllic destination for history enthusiasts and sunbathers.

Right on the beach and comfortable
"The hotel staff are really sweet and welcoming. The location is perfect. The hotel needs some upgrading with regards to furnishings and shower cubicle and the WiFi login system is very much outdated. All in all though it was a pleasant stay and the breakfast was good."
