Nice castle. Entry costs 3,5 euro. Opened from 10 to 12 at working days. It's sad that not enough budget to take care about ancestry.

Going around Vasto Centro is best experienced in my life 😍😍😍

A lot to see. Beautiful gardens with a view of Meditarenen Sea!

Excellent location with delicious food and stunning views

Beautiful

Excellent visit well worth the money

Nice place to see

Good plas to vist

Must see.. Historical place

Historic

(Translated by Google) Only the exterior It was built in 1439 by the Sienese architect Mariano di Jacopo known as Táccola on commission from Giacomo Caldora, the feudal lord and lord of Vasto. It is located in the historic center and overlooks Piazza Rossetti and Piazza Barbacani. Used first as a courthouse and then as a prison, it has maintained its beauty intact, despite the almost 600 years since its construction. It is a pity that it can only be visited from the outside. Worth seeing (Original) Solo l’esterno Fu costruito nel 1439 dall'architetto senese Mariano di Jacopo detto il Táccola su commissione di Giacomo Caldora il feudatario e signore di Vasto. È situato nel pieno centro storico e si affaccia su piazza Rossetti e piazza Barbacani. Utilizzato come tribunale prima e come prigione poi, ha mantenuto intatta la sua bellezza, nonostante i quasi 600 anni dalla sua costruzione. Peccato che si visita solo dall'esterno. Da vedere

(Translated by Google) The castle of Vasto was built in the fifteenth century, on the remains of an older fortification. The complex is characterized by a square-plan structure, with almond-shaped corner towers. The gun emplacements and loopholes are still clearly visible. Starting in 1700, the manor lost its military character to transform itself into a noble residence. (Original) Il castello di Vasto fu costruito nel quindicesimo secolo, sui resti di una più antica fortificazione. Il complesso è caratterizzato da struttura a pianta quadrata, con torri angolari a mandorla. Sono ancora ben visibili le postazioni per le cannoniere e le feritoie. A partire dal 1700 il maniero perse il suo carattere militare per trasformarsi in dimora gentilizia.

(Translated by Google) It is currently a private residence and therefore not open to visitors. Nevertheless, it is possible to admire its architectural structure from a panoramic view and also observe its details. (Original) Attualmente è una residenza privata, pertanto non visitabile. Nondimeno è possibile ammirarne la struttura architettonica con uno sguardo panoramico e osservarne anche i particolari.

(Translated by Google) The castle is well-kept on the outside, unfortunately it cannot be visited because it is private property. However, it manages to give prestige to the historic center of Vasto, although it has been remodeled over time by various owners to change its use from defensive to residential. (Original) Il castello esternamente risulta ben curato, purtroppo non visitabile poiché proprietà privata. Riesce comunque a dare lustro al centro storico di Vasto, sebbene rimaneggiato nel tempo dai vari proprietari per cambiare il suo uso da difensivo a residenziale.

(Translated by Google) Located at the top of the city, San Michele is a small octagonal church, which boasts seven polychrome wooden statues of archangels, only three of which are officially recognized by the Catholic Church. (Original) Posta sulla sommità della città, San Michele è una piccola chiesa a pianta ottagonale, che si fregia di ospitare, al proprio interno, sette statue lignee policrome di altrettanti arcangeli, tre soli dei quali riconosciuti ufficialmente dalla chiesa cattolica.

(Translated by Google) Church of San Michele Arcangelo... It is stupendous, very well kept and quiet, located in a beautiful spot, because it overlooks the magical golden gulf of Vasto, a perfect place for reflection because there is not a lot of crowds and it is truly a corner of Peace (Original) Chiesa San Michele Arcangelo... È Stupenda , molto curata e tranquilla , situata in un punto Bellissimo, perché si affaccia sul Magico Golfo D'oro di Vasto , perfetto luogo di riflessione perché non c'è tantissima affluenza ed è veramente un angolo di Pace

(Translated by Google) We find it open, on the Vasto viewpoint, a small, well-kept church. (Original) La troviamo aperta, sul belvedere di Vasto, piccola chiesa ben tenuta.

(Translated by Google) The church of San Michele Arcangelo is a church that stands in the city of Vasto. The church is located in via della Rimembranza, behind via San Michele and next to the city's municipal villa, it is octagonal in shape and overlooks the viewpoint of the city's promontory, which in turn overlooks the southern area of ​​the Vastese coast. Its construction began on 14 September 1827, after the citizens of Vasto officially asked Pope Leo XII to obtain the nomination of San Michele Arcangelo as patron saint of the city. This is the story of the octagonal church dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo. In front of the church you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of both the coast and the Vastese and Molisano hinterland. A must see if you are in the area (Original) La chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo è una chiesa che sorge nella città di Vasto. La chiesa è situata in via della Rimembranza, dietro via San Michele ed a fianco della villa comunale della città, è di forma ottagonale e sovrasta il belvedere del promontorio della città, che a sua volta sovrasta la zona meridionale del litorale Vastese. La sua costruzione è iniziata il 14 settembre 1827, dopo che i cittadini Vastesi chiesero ufficialmente a Papa Leone XII l'ottenimento della nomina di San Michele Arcangelo come patrono della città. Questa è la storia della chiesa di forma ottagonale dedicata a San Michele Arcangelo. Innanzi alla chiesa si può godere di un magnifico panorama sia sulla costa, che dell'entroterra Vastese e Molisano. Assolutamente da vedere se siete in zona

(Translated by Google) Very pretty and located in a beautiful and intimate viewpoint... It is located on the same line as the other famous sanctuaries dedicated to San Michele the archangel, if you pass through Vasto it is worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Really very beautiful church .and panoramic.... (Original) Chiesa veramente molto bella .e panoramica....

I respect the positive reviews on this place but I have to disagree for the most part. I agree its a nice place with great atmosphere and nice staff - more or less. But like many restaurants with a lot of tourists some of the food was down right bad. Tuna steak was excellent; fried seafood was horrible and grey. Salad was sad, and had the most pale tomatoes I've ever seen; ridiculous in a country that practically swims in delicious red tomatoes. And the tiramisu was barely four spoonfuls. A rip off. Overall the food lacked love and care. I'd rather have had a pizza in the lovely piazza.

Popped in on the off chance, as was in the area, food superb, staff lovely and friendly 😋 👌

A place you cannot miss visiting the area. As you can see … no arrosticini left. :-)

Very cool place. They have outstanding pasta and excellent desserts. Unfortunately, you cannot order pizza in the afternoon, which was a major disappointment. Fortunately, the seafood risotto I had instead combined with the excellent tiramisu made up for it. The place looked very nice on the inside, and has very nice decor, featuring a large amount of sheep. The prices are a bit high, but tolerable. I hear the beer was good also.

Because of coronavirus, it has been two years since our last visit, but the food and the service was as excellent as always. As a celiac, finding food in Italy is not always easy, but here it is! All four of us left full and very happy. The service was excellent too. 5 stars all the way and grazie.

Don't miss this place! Loved everything, the bread, pasta, hot peppers in olive oil, salad, service, ambience.

Very nice traditional food from Abruzzo. Meat and grill oriented restaurant with very fresh bread.

Nice setting, friendly staff although food is not great and pricey for what you get. 70 Euro each person on a fix menu plus drinks. Service isn't great either. Plates are not fine presented. I was expecting much better. Disappointed.

Beautiful setting. Nice staff. Food was “Ok” not great. The atmosphere is what you pay for.

Busy...no chance without reservation 🤷‍♀️ but looks nice

Stunning venue. It's a fish only restaurant, with no menu. Absolutely delicious provided you like fish!

Such a great time! Amazing food and was super acomidating to food allergy! Was here on a work conference and it was so magical!!!

amazing experience! Great food, friendly staff and unforgettable atmosphere

Absolutely fabulous seafood experience. Love this place.

We have been here three times now as we travel constantly between the North and Puglia. We have had two good experiences and one bad. The last one, today was very disappointing. We had booked a table on the terrace and the famous Brodetto, which we ate there before. It arrived piping hot and included 2 mussels on top, one of which had not opened. Please chef, if you are only offering two mussels, make sure they have both opened! It took our waiter a long time to ask if we wanted to add pasta. We said yes - the pasta took half an hour to arrive, by which time the Brodetto was stone cold. The service was perfunctory as a large party had arrived. We were ignored, no question of dessert or coffee. We left feeling disatisfied! Normally the food is good. Would we return? Not on a Friday lunchtime!

The restaurant site pictures/views are not accurate. It’s in industrial part of the city with lots of construction materials , cranes in view. Menu was small with not many options to choose. Most dishes were listed for min of 2 people. Reservation was made by our Airbnb host and ordered fish soup that he advised us to try. We were notified by our server that 2 soups were ordered and we will have to pay € 100 even though the menu didn’t show that dish for min 2 person. Then some woman came and said that she could make an exception and make only one for us. Not to mention that it was a huge dish for even 2 people. Nothing special about it. Ended up with one dish only. Didn’t enjoy neither the food nor situation

The food and service was excellent! We had the fish soup which I agree is the best in Vasco. Our waiter spoke perfect English and explained every course in detail, recommend an excellent wine to complement our meal. The views of the harbour are excellent. I recommend you call for reservations we didn't but had to wait for a table they were kind enough to accommodate us!

Lovely place with an astonishing panorama of the sea, that can be admired from the terrace that elevates itself almost above the salted water. Their typical dish "Brodetto alla Vastese" is pure joy for people who appreciate fish based cuisine. The personnel is as lovely, kind, and welcoming as it can be. Do not get fooled by the look of the front of the Restaurant that hosts a bar, it hides a well furnished dining hall on the back, sided by the amazing terrace I mentioned before.

Honest food and friendly staff. The Brodetto, Fish soup is a little expensive, 35 euros per portion but worth the experience.

Amazing food. Brought the fresh fish to the table for me to choose from. I had grilled turbut, rombo, and it was excellent

Nice fresh fish in a great environment. We ll be back for the brodetto.

The best pizza in Abruzzo. Very friendly service and delicious wine. Decor is the icing on the cake. We have been there several times and always had a good time! Highly recommend!

Everything was great: the food, the service and the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Very good food and very frendly price!

Nice place - perfect food with reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Muscles are amazing! Seafood salad as well!

Great dishes on the lunch menu. The seafood was very fresh and cooked deliciously. Excellent. We also appreciated the professionalism of the wait staff- always ready to clear empty plates, asked if we wanted refills throughout the meal, and were friendly and polite. A nice trattoria. We’ll return

Lovely restaurant! We were seated quickly and served a bowl of fresh bread. We had the special 2 course meal. The starter was a lovely plate of prosciutto and mozzarella. We waited a little while for the main, which was equally as good, a bowl of seafood tagliatelle with shrimp and octopus. The staff were highly accommodating and very efficient. The restraunt had a nice atmosphere, with comfortable seating. Highly recommended experience!

we had the most amazing lunch! we also met the chef who has been to KL, Malaysia & Perth, Australia which we all live there. our lunch was full of seafood & very tasty. every course was amazing & delicious. thank you very much for the amazing experience of a Michelin star restaurant. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 views from the restaurant are breathtaking. 😍

Extraordinary food and beautiful scenery. Best restaurant visited in the area

Amazing views, good service, and exquisite food. We tried varied appetizers, grilled fish, and pasta; everything was delicious. We’ve come here quite a few times and it has been consistently amazing, therefore the 5 starts!

Amazing restaurant with a great selection of wine and curated menu items. They use premium ingredients and the attention to details is amazing. Highly recommend

Beautiful restaurant. Amazing view of the coast of Vasto. Servers were very friendly (even though our Italian is limited). Food is delicious, fresh and wonderfully designed. Definitely recommend!

The best restaurant in vasto for seafood

Best fish in town and the view
