Albergo Ristorante Pizzeria Del Viale

Palazzo Adriano is a beautiful town located in the mountains, it offers spectacular views and great hiking options. There's several cafes and places where you can grab something to eat. The rooms at the albergo are small and quite old but offer all you need: a bathroom, hairdryer, AC with heating option. We had good pizza in the pizzeria downstairs. Parking available for free on the street or in front of the pizzeria.

As may be expected, I travelled to Palazzo Adriano as it is the village where Cinema Paradiso (my favourite film) was shot. The hotel itself is basic, and not particularly decorated to my taste, but I don't really have any complaints. Room was clean, bed was basic but comfortable, air con/heater, TV, decent shower and bathroom. Wifi was good. The adjacent restaurant offers tasty local fare and is decently priced. Also, and don't take this as given, but I personally was told I could check out at any time.

Palazzo Adriano is way up in the mountains, and getting there involves a rather tortuous drive through narrow, winding, steep, badly maintained roads. Of course, this isn't the hotel's fault, and, if you're going for the same reason as me, it's a small price to pay. Once you get to the village, if you're a fan of the film, it's surreal just to be there. I, unfortunately, arrived as the village's annual festivities were kicking off. I could barely hear the (considerable) noise from the street, but there was a lot of noise in the corridors from drunk people arriving late at night.

The food the restaurant downstairs provided was very good, it seemed that the owner also owns the restaurant

there was no breakfast provided although the owner owns the restaurant downstairs
