Unique and beautifully restored accommodation in an wonderful medieval fortified town in a hilltop setting. Breakfast was by far the best we've had during our trip. Very good Wifi connectivity which was a pleasant surprise, The reception staff was exceptional as well.

United KingdomBeautiful, unique accommodation in an amazing setting
AustraliaAmazing! No words can justify Sextantio Albergo Diffuso, it just has to be experienced. The hotel is spread across the medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Our suite was restored perfectly to reflect the original time period but with all modern facilities. Also the faabrics used and the soap were made with old techniques. And it was all wonderful. Reception, bar and restaurant were also located in different buildings. The food in the restaurant was mostly local and excellent and the staff was very professional and nice. In addition to the hotel, Santo Stefano di Sessanio and its surrondings are really worth a visit.
NorwayThe rustic luxury is unique and visually enticing. Although rustic it was very comfortable. The village was buzzing but not too crowded. La Locanda restaurant was a gem excellent breakfasts and wonderful dinners. We ate there every night! The candles in each room and common spaces created a romantic atmosphere. The quality of the soaps and body wash was greatly appreciated. But the highlight of our stay was the exceptional service from the front desk with Carlo (and Stefania my name sake) to Ricardo and others in the restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble. Responses were immediate and with good cheer. Outstanding!
