Via Principe Umberto snc, 67020 Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Italy –

Lock in a great price for Sextantio Albergo Diffuso – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The place is not a normal hotel, but rather a great change for a new experience. The castle is very well maintained and the rooms are clean and tight, savoring every detail that helps you live in the mideival times. The staff are very welcoming and super helpful. We are glad to have had the chance to experience that atmosphere in a wonderful hotel.

Abdulrahman, Saudi Arabia

This is a place that is indescribably amazing. One of the most beautiful locations on earth.

Deborah, United States of America

Everything is so simple and cozy. Personal is very friendly. Unique experience

Dmytro, Ukraine

The location was great, sunny and warm during the day but still snow on the mountains. We loved the feeling of walking on cobbled streets that were hundreds of years old and that the buildings had so much character

Terry, United Kingdom

They recognised us as returning customers and therefore provided us with many extra's which were wonderful and made us feel so special. I just love this place like crazy.

Kim, Italy

A wonderful experience unlikely to be superseeded. It is hard to describe the beauty of being able to stay at museum-like quality restored medieval dwellings that offer all comodities, and food for the imagination, and preservation of a part of culture mostly overlooked and therefore regularly lost. A tremendously sattisfying visit to a beautiful medieval town high up in a grand mountain scenery.

Laleo, United Kingdom

Such an unusual place to stay in an albergo diffuso and very authentic. Close to beautiful mountains.

Peter, Australia

Restoration project done very well and the hotel and town are atmospheric. Food decent and restaurant has good ambience.

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.

There wan’t a chair to sit in the room! I was travelling on my own but I think there would be couples who would wish for privacy in the toilet rather than the open plan arrangement.
