In the old town center of Isernia, in an ancient building, a beautiful hotel with 7 rooms is located. The rooms sizes and design are different because of the building constraints. This only adds to the aesthetic beauty of this lovely hotel. Angelo, the hotel manager is available at any time to help. The feeling is really like living in the old city alleys. You can see from the window or the small terrace the neighbors' houses. The rooms are spacious, clean and decorated in a contemporary Italian touch.
Parking is not far. Driving in the narrow alleys of the Old City is quite an experience.
The price including breakfast at a cafe outside the hotel (get a daily voucher) - About 150 meters up the main street, is €55.

A one night stop-over at this B&B has given us a taste of Isernia and a desire to return.

The exterior of the B&B PortaCastello belies the character of the interior! As is typical in the Centro Storico (Historic quarter) of very old Italian towns & villages (& Isernia is very old!) the streets are narrow and the buildings give little away from the outside. The inside of this B&B is contemporary with the use of old exposed stone and modern marble stairs with iron handrails. Our room was clean, comfortable and a good-size with modern fixtures and fittings, modern artwork and a spacious, very well-appointed en-suite.

Free car parking is a short distance away, however you do have to walk up a steep narrow street to get to the B&B, as vehicular access to the door isn’t possible. A basic breakfast (you can choose between a few options) is provided in a nearby café and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant: Osteria O’Pizzaiuolo, which we enjoyed so much that we returned for our evening meal.

If you are thinking of staying in Isernia the B&B PortaCastello is a great place to stay and the Osteria O’Pizzaiuolo is well worth a visit.
