سيكستانتيو ألبيرغو ديفوسو

The location is amazing! I wanted a unique experience on our first trip to Abruzzo, and this was certainly it! We stayed for two nights (Saturday & Sunday) in the Casa con L'Arco suite under the Medici Tower. We entered the suite to lovely candlelight and a tasty cordial, very romantic. It was charming & rustic, but so clean, a private bathroom with a tub/shower (the handheld shower attaches to a ceiling mount to create a shower effect - the water splashes everywhere, lol, but the terra cotta tiles dry quickly) and private bedroom. They provided plenty of towels, robes and slippers! We found the beds comfortable, with plenty of blankets to keep us warm. It did get a little chilly at night, but our suite included a fireplace. My only issue with the room was that the two outlets we had (only in the bathroom) were recessed into the wall and prevented our adapters from plugging in firmly. I would add a small area rug on each side of the bed. There was a step stool to get onto the bed, which was helpful. The town is tranquil, relaxed, safe and scenic. There are amazing views with every step you take. It certainly gave me a feeling of serenity. We weren't able to get into the hotel restaurant, but we had a fabulous dinner at La Locanda Sul Lago our first night. Our server was amazing as well. She didn't speak much english, but she appreciated my attempt at speaking Italian and was delightful! Dinner at Cuore Nero our second night was fabulous as well. We took a day trip to Sulmona and Rocca Calascio (we had a rental car). So much in this area to see and do if you want to get away from the tourist crowds and just enjoy old Italy. There were a couple tour groups that came through the town, which was annoying, but once they left there was peace. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how fantastico the people and the service were at Sextantio. Anything we needed, any questions we had, taken care of right away. The gentleman at the front desk was so very helpful and kind. The porters were wonderful and careful with our bags. Value is subjective, our stay was worth every penny to us. Would highly recommend staying here.

Truly magical stay !!! The highlight of our trip through Italy. This hotel lives up to the hype. The location is wonderful and the hotel is magical. Cannot wait to return The staff were so helpful and the room was incredible. Truly like stepping back in time. The breakfast food and location was brilliant. Add it to your list of places to stay

We spent one night at the Sextantio Albergo Diffuso in Santo Stefano di Sassanio, primarily to experience the town at night and hike to Rocca Calascio the next morning. Arriving to the town by car, we had no issues finding parking, and only had small bags when checking in. The room was an experience to say the least with a locally made wool mattress and bedspread and antique furniture. The bathroom was modern and included a bidet. The tub was very large and we enjoyed a soak before bed. WiFi worked fine and there were outlets conveniently tucked away by the bed and desk. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the property's restaurant and were overwhelmed by the abundance of local ingredients that were beautifully presented at both meals. While this was the smallest of the Borghi piu belli we visited in Abruzzo, it is certainly the most well known. Walking around before and after dinner, we felt like we had the fairytale town to ourselves. Leaving early for our hike, the front desk staff were kind enough to store our bags. When we returned around lunchtime, the town was swarming with day visitors and made us glad to have been able to enjoy a peaceful night there. Overall, an incredible experience!

Wonderful place for a getaway. Amazing location, the town is a gem, and a very cool and comfortable accommodation. The room is so medieval and so comfortable at the same time, it’s amazing. The bed was confortable, the view form the town or the suite (depending on which one you will be staying) was spectacular. The staff at abbetagio were very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was amazing, with local specialties and other nice stuff. Lots of tracking or just drives or walks to do around. Plenty of dining options. We had hard times leaving the place.

It was an absolutely incredible experience. Everything about the hospitality of the staff was top notch - communication before arriving, arranging activities, handling requests, and check out. The experience is truly unique and there's quite a bit of information and context that explains the experience. We had 2 suites which had lovely sitting rooms and large bedrooms. Getting used to bathing in a tub with a jug will be the only hardship - but you get the hang of it. The bespoke soaps and body wash are lovely. Breakfast and dinner at the Locanda was truly exception - it was one of the highlights of our trip. Well worth the money. We will return - and go to the other hotels in the family!

This hotel is in an old Medieval town fron the 1500's. There is some restoration going on in the town, but it doesn't interfere with any plans. The room is an old wall house. It has stone walls, floors and fireplaces. I chose the room with a small terrace, and a living room. The bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. There is a large soaking tub, in the bathroom, but no shower. Be prepared to use the rinsing pot provided. It brings you back to the day. There is an excellent hair dryer. Not much in amenities, so bring your own, but hey it's the 1500's! The restaurant serves a great breakfast and dinner was outstanding. I loved the whole Medieval neighborhood. I chose a guide, but you can easily walk the town and discover it yourself, but the guide holds the key to the tower, which is the only way in and up to the top for the beautiful view.
