We never were up early enough for breakfast as we like to sleep in on vacation. We went to their tea room to get yogurt and tea which was lovely although a bit pricey. Their restaurant was good. We absolutely loved the idea behind the hotel. The surrounding area is gorgeous. We love how they have updated the rooms. It's very cool to say in a place that feels so ancient. We loved the concept. The rooms are very beautiful. It is quite a unique place. We stayed in Alchemista and it was lovely. Staff was lovely and quite helpful.
United States of AmericaGreat location to explore the Gran Sasso National Park. Save time and drive to Camp Imperatore to get to the best trails. The Abruzzese local food served in their restaurants was fresh and phenomenal. The town has some construction underway due to an earthquake a few years back .
United States of AmericaSweet but small village. Beautiful room and service and staff outstanding.
United States of AmericaAmazing hill town with rooms scattered in various fully renovated buildings with every comfort, whilst cleverly retaining the original features. Breakfast was excellent and we were looked after by all the staff.
United KingdomWe simply loved our stay in Sextantio. It's a unique place, where the smallest detail is taken care of, making the whole experience unbeatable. Sextantio is not just a hotel, it's a whole experience. We can't wait to go back!
United KingdomThe breakfast room is lovely. A toaster would have been nice. (If there was one there I didn't see it.) Orange juice for breakfast would also be a nice addition. The hiking trail from Santo Stefano to Rocca Calascio is awesome. Better signage for tourists to find the trail head in Santo Stefano and Calascio would be helpful. We lucked into it at Rocca Calascio.
United States of AmericaA high quality service level in an exciting middle age reference.A special thanks to Sonia for her professional advices during our stay. A benchmark for eachone who is looking for successful buildings renovation , executive mood and visitors welcome.
BelgiumGreat experience in a wonderful location. Enjoyed our stay immensely.

Sextantio Albergo Diffuso offers unique accommodations in the fortified medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, deep in the Abruzzo hillside, at an altitude of 4,100 feet.
This spectacular hilltop village in the Gran Sasso National Park has been perfectly preserved. Rooms and junior suites are scattered in the original, period buildings.
You will find beautiful, simple décor, locally woven linens, 17th-century wooden ceilings, and ancient fireplaces. All this is combined with modern technology, including under-floor heating and remote-controlled lighting.
At the Sextantio Albergo Diffuso, the restaurant serves a great range of local recipes, all made using fresh food grown in the neighboring fields.
Outside the ancient walls, you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, from climbing and hang-gliding, to hiking and horseback riding. Famous ski slopes are also just a short drive away as are many interesting old towns and villages.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
