Hotel Il Cavalier D'Arpino, Arpino, Frosinone

Hotel Il Cavalier D'Arpino, near Frosinone

The three-star Hotel Cavalier D'Arpino is right in the centre of the historic town of Arpino in the province of Frosinone (Lazio region), and easily reached from both Rome (95 kilometres) and Naples (120 kilometres) via the A1 motorway. This atmospheric hotel is actually a converted 16th-century wool mill and its 28 en-suite rooms - including singles, doubles and triples - are all elegantly furnished and air conditioned with direct dial phone, cable and satellite colour TV, hairdryer and a mini bar. There are two restaurant rooms, decorated with traditional murals and serving up fresh local specialities, as well as an attractive garden - complete with children's play area - for a relaxing wander.

The hotel makes a perfect base for exploring Arpino itself - don't miss the Acropolis of Civitavecchia, the ancient 4th-century BC pointed arch gate, or the fascinating lute museum housed in a former palace - as well as seeing more of the area. Why not take a trip to the classic hillside spa town of Fiuggi, or go for a picnic in the stunning countryside of the Abruzzo National Park, with its forests, waterfalls and wildlife. And don't leave without a visit to the Abbey of Monte Cassino with its spectacular mountain views.

If you're here for business as well as to see the sights, you're well catered for too, with conference and meeting facilities, photocopying services and free internet access. The hotel also provides safety deposit boxes, free parking and an express checkout service to make your stay as convenient as possible.
