hotel prestige is located a 15 minute bus ride from pescara and the buses run every half hour along the seafront. it is over the road from a beautiful beach which was lovely and quiet when we were there but i get the impression it would be packed peak season. there are enough shops and restaurants within a 30 minute walk to keep you amused for a few days but the restaurants were winding down by mid september so it might be problematic off season. the hotel is decorated in a contemporary style and so no chintz which was nice. the room was pleasant but the matress and pillows were very hard and there was only a basic shower, no bath. lovely family running it but run in a slightly haphazard way. it's nice and informal which we liked but not very professional at times. we were given a free lift from and to the airport which was a nice gesture and saved us some hassle. it is excellent value but you do get what you pay for. nothing wrong with this hotel but no luxuries either.
