Where Follow Me B&B is and how to get there
Follow Me B&B is on Contrada Piane Sant'Angelo, in San Salvo, in the province of Chieti, in the south of Abruzzo. It isn't in the centre: guests describe it as a quiet area, near a shopping centre and the Montenero - Vasto Sud motorway exit.
One review tells a funny story. When the satnav says you've arrived and you can't see any signs, you think you've made a mistake, but you're in the right place, because the welcome happens inside a bar run by the same family. Better to know this beforehand, so you don't worry.
You'll need a car to get around, and that should be said upfront. Some guests write that the sea is only a few minutes away, and the position is handy if you want to alternate beach days with trips in the surroundings.
What the rooms and shared spaces are like
The rooms at Follow Me B&B are spacious, bright and air-conditioned, with a resin floor that many guests notice. According to the listing they have a private bathroom with bidet, flat-screen TV and minibar, and free wifi covers the whole property.
- The garden. Well kept, with tables, chairs and a barbecue, it's one of the spaces guests praise most.
- The pool. Several guests mention it, set in the greenery of the garden and lovely even in the evening.
- The kitchen and shared lounge. One review mentions a kitchen available for guests, while the listing refers to a shared lounge and a solarium terrace.
- The bar. Run by the family, it also serves sandwiches and grilled meat on some evenings, according to one guest.
There are also magnetic key cards instead of keys and a fridge in the rooms. They're small details, but they show a place put together with care.
What guests say about Follow Me B&B in San Salvo
On Google it has 4.7 out of 5 from 63 reviews, a very high score for such a small B&B. The comments repeat much the same points, and they feel credible for that reason.
- The welcome. Almost everyone describes the owners as kind, smiling and helpful, making you feel part of the family and recommending where to eat well.
- Cleanliness. Rooms and bathrooms are described as spotless, with that fresh clean smell as soon as you walk in.
- Breakfast. Some guests say you're asked what you prefer, savoury included, and mention local cakes, cappuccino and cream croissants.
- Quiet. Anyone looking for a peaceful place for a stopover or a few nights finds it ideal.
What to know before you book
Follow Me B&B has very few criticisms, but there are a few things to know. No property pleases everyone, and here the weak points mainly concern the location and the level of finish.
One guest notes that the location may not be ideal for some, though it's perfect for anyone who wants silence. It's close to an industrial area and a shopping centre, so don't expect the charm of a village. Another two-star review says the rooms need a refresh and that the place felt poorly kept and a little sad, while praising honest prices and friendly staff.
| Strong point | Worth knowing |
|---|---|
| Family welcome, much praised | You need a car to get around |
| Garden and pool to relax | Near an industrial area and a shopping centre |
| Clean, air-conditioned rooms | One review finds them due for a refresh |
| Quiet area a short distance from the sea | No obvious sign, you enter through the bar |
Who this B&B suits
I'd choose Follow Me B&B for a one- or two-night stop along the Abruzzo coast, or for a quiet weekend by the sea. It suits couples and anyone travelling by car who wants a homely place to switch off, perhaps with a pool to cool off in after the beach.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants to stroll on foot between bars and shops, or to anyone looking for a very polished design. But if hospitality, cleanliness and quiet are what matter to you, there are good reasons to book.
What to do in San Salvo and Abruzzo
From San Salvo, beach days and trips into the surroundings are easy to organise. The listing mentions bike hire and suggestions for cycling routes, an extra idea if you like to get around at a slower pace. The same family, guests say, are happy to advise on beaches and restaurants in the area.
If you'd like to take your trip to the mountainous and village side of Abruzzo, Mapiola has the B&B De Contra in Villetta Barrea, the Locanda Corte Dé Guasconi near Avezzano and the B&B A Casa di Nonna in Massa d'Albe. They have a different feel from San Salvo, but they're useful for building an itinerary.
