Search hotels in Chieti

A nice town (speaking only of the historic center) with a few museums, ethnological sites, good food with extremely reasonable prices (compared to Rome). The people are nice, friendly, very limited tourists, asians to be seen. In the center, most restaurants offer meat/pasta...You'd have to go outside of the center to find well reviewed/rated fish restaurants and to get to Trabocco, it takes about an hour by car. I travelled alone and on foot so it wasn't easy to get to Trabocco nor did I want to pay for 1hr ride. There are many great restaurants in the center with great prices and offering huge servings (Casamoro - highly recommend). The town is easily accessible by train or bus from Rome. Due to the elevation, it may affect your skin. All in all, it's very peaceful, quiet, and great value for money.

Chieti is split into 2 towns - the "bottom" town where the train comes in. There is nothing to see here other than a main, noisy street with take-away pizza restaurants - hardly anything was open and it felt like a ghost town. Then there is "Chieti Historic Centre" up a very steep hill about 4kms away (good luck with the bus timetable - a lottery!). Cute little place where all but one restaurant was closed and most of the shops were closed. Nice (small) church in a lovely square, which was deserted and only had one bar/cafe. Main street runs from one end to the other - deserted during the daytime and barely alive at night! We found a nice park with a lovely restaurant (which was closed on Mondays). Honestly - there is NOTHING to see or do in Chieti unless you want to sit in the same bar all day (only bars and cafes or DREADFUL pizzerias were open), eating ice cream or drinking coffee. Don't waste your time visiting.

Chieti is a lovely, peaceful town high above the valley. Perfect for a stopover for a couple of days. We discovered some excellent restaurants, serving both meat and pasta options. The town has a large park for walking and relaxing in and a museum.

Chieti (and Abruzzo as a whole) feel like undiscovered gems in Italy. The old town is large and interesting, the main Piazza del Duomo is being worked on and will look amazing when done, the food is absolutely to die for and half the price relative to standard Northern Italian tourist areas. It was a stopover for us on a drive to Puglia, but we are already thinking about when we can return.

The fabulous position with the safe big parking, lovely place and close to shops for anything you may need and with kids you always will need something and the stuff help was gigantic for advices where to go or not and the explanation of the reasons .

The old town has a fabulous museum with artifacts dating back from Palaeolithic era… well set out museum! Had delicious lunch of mixed salad in local bar with gelato chaser.. perfect! Visited the duomo which was beautiful inside.
