Hotel Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

Rating by guests: There are no reviews for this hotel.

Deep in the Abruzzo hillside, in the fortified medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio and the result of a special regeneration project, Sextantio Albergo Diffuso offers truly unique accommodation. Located 1250 metres a.s.l, this spectacular hilltop village in the heart of the Apennines and the Gran Sasso National Park has been perfectly preserved ever since a large proportion of its residents left in search of work in the city. Old houses have been restored entirely in keeping with tradition; you will find beautifully simple décor, locally woven linens, 17th-century wooden ceilings, and ancient fireplaces all undisturbed by the subtly employed contemporary technology, including under-floor heating and remote-controlled lighting. With stunning mountain views and a central position overlooking the hamlet’s main square, this comfortable Renaissance-style residence offers a restaurant serving a great range of local recipes all made using fresh food grown in the neighbouring fields. Outside the ancient walls, you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, from climbing and hang-gliding to hiking and horse-riding. Famous ski slopes are also just a short drive away as are many interesting old towns and villages.
