Castello Chiola, Pescara

Advantages: Just a small sighseeing
Disadvantages: hope no one!

...Wandering in Pescara to tell you what I discovered … Last year, when I came in Pescara I did this choice only because my ex boss invited me to spend my holidays using the office. She did it because she knew very well my economical situation… this actually was a sort of a gift, without this possibily I would have spent my holidays at home. In any case, Pescara wasn’t a choice due to the place itself, or to any sort of interest in this particular place. Last year I discovered that Pescara isn’t a seaside resort, but a town that lies on the sea. The difference is huge. In Pescara people aren’t prepared in receiving tourists and the majority of them aren’t friendly, expecially with Italian tourists, expecially if you are alone.

I booked a seven night stay at the Miramare e Castello with breakfast included. The daily rate for the double room with sea view was 350 euros and my parents paid 530 for a suite. The first mistake I made with the Miramare e Castello was previous to my arrival. I decided to take my car to Ischia in order to drive from Ischia Ponte (where the hotel is located... Read review

...Tempo fa scattai alcune foto della mia famiglia a Trieste con sullo sfondo il castello di Miramare. Chissà quanti lettori di CIAO COM avranno fatto altrettanto; foto ricordo del genere vengono scattate in continuazione in molti luoghi così anche in questo splendido parco, meta di migliaia di turisti ogni anno. Io, personalmente, però, mancavo di qualcosa: portavo a casa le immagini impresse sulla pellicola, ma senza conoscere alcun cenno storico di questo bel luogo vicino Trieste. In seguito ho scoperto che il castello di Miramare fu costruito su progetto di Carl Junke tra il 1855 e il 1860 su comissione dell'arciduca di Austria Massimiliano d'Asburgo che, nel 1850 a 18 anni voleva farsi "una casa" con giardino nei pressi di Schonbrun, ma poi, cambiando idea, acquistò il promontorio nei pressi della baia di Grignano (TS).
