Looking for an Amandola hotel or another place to stay? The choice in Amandola includes a hotel, B&Bs, guest rooms (affittacamere), agriturismi (farm stays), mountain huts, vacation rentals and an equipped area for RVs. Places to stay are spread between the historic center, the countryside around the town and the higher hamlets, such as Garulla and Campolungo. Amandola is considered the eastern gateway to the Sibillini National Park in the Sibillini Mountains and is an Orange Flag (Bandiera Arancione) town. The town stands on three hills, skirted by the Tenna river and the Bora stream.

The center revolves around Piazza Risorgimento, overlooked by the Palazzo Comunale (town hall), with its 19th-century portico, and the Sanctuary of Beato Antonio. The way in is through Porta San Giacomo, the only one left of the five original gates. The town was damaged by the earthquake of August 24, 2016, and some historic buildings remained closed for a long time. Those who want to use Amandola as a base for hikes, for the Grande Anello dei Sibillini or for a few days of relaxation will find a wider range of accommodation here than the town's size might suggest.

Where to stay in Amandola: the best areas

To be close to the squares, lanes and bars, the historic center is the best choice. Piazza Risorgimento is the town's meeting point: in the evening locals stop here for an aperitivo, a light dinner or a chat. In the center there are apartments and B&Bs a short walk from the square, and from here the churches, lanes and viewpoints over the Sibillini can be reached on foot. For a cultural visit, the page on things to do in Amandola is a good starting point.

The countryside around the town is home mainly to agriturismi and country houses. Amandola's agriturismi include Madonna di Piana, Antica Tenuta Le Piane, Terra di Magie and Dimensione Natura. Guests sleep among hills and woods, but a car is needed to visit the town.

The area best suited to hikers is that of the mountain hamlets. Garulla Superiore lies at the foot of Monte Amandola. The Rifugio Garulla is a stage of the Grande Anello dei Sibillini (GAS) and the starting point for hikes and mountain bike rides toward the Campolungo plain, the springs of the Ambro, Monte Castel Manardo, Pizzo Tre Vescovi and Monte Priora. A nature trail called "Fragili equilibri" also starts from the hut. In winter the area is suited to cross-country skiing and ski touring.

Higher up, at Campolungo, there is a grassy plateau with a picnic area, barbecues and a fountain. Here stands the Rifugio Città di Amandola, from which trails lead to Monte Amandola and Pizzo Tre Vescovi. In and around Garulla there are also an agriturismo with six beds and a few vacation rentals in open countryside. One of these, with a view of Monte Amandola, has four beds and spaces for cleaning, drying and repairing hiking gear.

RV travelers will find the municipal RV area, in an outlying location but close to a supermarket, bakery, bar and trailheads. Details are in the section on how to choose.

Map of places to stay in Amandola

The map on this page shows where each place to stay is in relation to the center and the hamlets. It makes it easy to see at a glance whether a property is within walking distance of the square, in the countryside or on the road toward Garulla and Campolungo. Below is an overview by type.

Among the properties classified as hotels is Villa delle Rose, formerly Hotel Paradiso, a small hotel on Piazza Umberto I with four rooms and ten beds. The Rifugio Garulla is classified as a hotel-affittacamere and is a public facility owned by the municipality.

B&Bs are the most numerous type and are gathered on the page on Amandola B&Bs. They include Casa Friano, in the Friano area, with four rooms. Il Gioiello, on the other hand, is a vacation home with a sauna and hot tub, while Sibilroom is an affittacamere (guest rooms). Other addresses are Borgo delle Fate, La Mela Rosa and Villa Schinoppi, a small rental on Via Schinoppi. Le Spiazzette is classified as an affittacamere (guest rooms).

Where to stay in Amandola: how to choose

The first question is whether to stay in town or at altitude. In town, the squares and lanes can be explored without a car. At Garulla and Campolungo the trail is right there, but a car is needed for dinners out, groceries or visits to the center.

For hiking, the mountain huts are the most logical choice. The Rifugio Garulla is easy to reach by car and, on reservation, offers several options: tent pitch, room with breakfast and half board. It has Wi-Fi and an equipped space for cleaning and repairing motorcycles, e-bikes and bicycles. Its restaurant serves "fregnacce di Amandola", a typical local dish. For the Rifugio Città di Amandola, at Campolungo, it is best to book and check opening in advance. The bathroom is shared but reserved for guests, and there is also a restaurant service with local products.

For RV travelers, the municipal RV area is open year-round. It offers electric hookups, an RV service point, restrooms and hot showers. Tables and benches are outdoors, with a barbecue area. The maximum stay is 2 days. Dogs are allowed, large ones on a leash and muzzled. The center is a few minutes' walk away, and nearby there are a bus stop, a bar and a restaurant. After the earthquake, part of the area was taken up by containers, so in high season it is best to ask ahead about available spaces.

For comfort and relaxation, there are properties with a pool, garden, hot tub or sauna, such as Il Gioiello. For a rural vacation, the agriturismi are the natural choice, bearing in mind that a car is needed.

For all properties it is best to book ahead, especially for the mountain huts, and to check the opening of the sites to visit. Some of the town's historic buildings remained closed for a long time because of the earthquake.
