Atmosfera, stile e benessere.
Pros:

Esperienza fantastica nel Borgo medievale; ci si sente protagonisti di una favola. Gli alloggi sono molto affascinanti, fedeli all'origine storica e confortevoli. L'atmosfera è molto coinvolgente e apportatrice di benessere.
Abbiamo apprezzato l'organizzazione della struttura e lo staff molto gentile e premuroso.
La ciliegina sulla torta è offerta dalla colazione; la migliore che io ricordi, ricca di prodotti del territorio, preparati con creatività e raffinatezza. Anche qui, lo stile è unico.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

Das Sextantio Albergo Diffuso ist weit mehr als eine gewöhnliche Unterkunft. Es ist ein Erlebnis, das man so schnell nicht vergisst!

Mitten im mittelalterlichen Bergdorf Santo Stefano di Sessanio fühlt man sich um Jahrhunderte zurückversetzt. Die historischen Gebäude wurden mit unglaublich viel Liebe zum Detail restauriert, ohne ihren ursprünglichen Charakter zu verlieren. Alte Steinmauern, gedämpftes Licht, authentische Einrichtung und ein knisternder Kamin schaffen eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre.

Gerade in der Nebensaison, wenn kaum Touristen unterwegs sind und die Gassen beinahe menschenleer wirken, entfaltet dieser Ort seinen ganz eigenen Zauber. Wir haben es geliebt, durch das Dorf zu schlendern, die Ruhe zu genießen und abends den Kamin anzufeuern.

Das gesamte Konzept ist außergewöhnlich und mit keinem klassischen Hotel vergleichbar. Wer modernen Luxus und Perfektion erwartet, ist hier vielleicht nicht richtig. Wer dagegen Geschichte, Authentizität und besondere Erlebnisse schätzt, wird begeistert sein.

Für uns war dieser Aufenthalt ein absolutes Highlight unserer Italienreise. Ein Ort mit Seele, den wir so schnell nicht vergessen werden.

10/10 – eine Zeitreise, die man unbedingt einmal erlebt haben sollte! ❤️

The hotel is unique with rooms dispersed through out the small town. The restaurant serves a very nice breakfast featuri
Pros:

The hotel does a great job of making you feel as though you’ve stepped back 500 years into history. The location is perfectly situated for day trips or hiking. While the little town has a lot to offer in the way for cafes and restaurants.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike here… If you expect a modern hotel feel you will however be disappointed. This is not that.
