Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

This hotel is a memorable trip back in time. Sextantio purchased and renovated 30 rooms in the village, each one with a different character, charm, and challenge. The rooms were restored with basic amenities, but it is easy to imagine the simple life people lived centuries ago. The atmosphere is reinforced with candlelight and fireplaces. Upon entering the historic dining room or the Cantinone, you may be motivated to take pictures prior to eating your sumptuous breakfast or relaxing with an afternoon drink. Although the evening meal was acceptable, be sure to check out other restaurants in the village that offer local menu options. Our family group was made up of senior citizens (70-80), so we experienced a few challenges during our stay. The cobblestone lanes can be slick, even when dry, so be sure to where sturdy shoes with hiking soles, and walk carefully. Parking is distant from the hotel complex, so ask for assistance when moving your luggage. The bathroom areas in some rooms are very small and minimally lit. Given this historic inconvenience, we weren’t motivated to shower. The village is still recovering from the earthquake of 2009, so cranes and construction crews provide a sobering reminder of the courage and commitment it takes to preserve ancient communities. The dramatic beauty of area mountains is attractive for hikers, but you’ll be sharing dirt roads with bikers as you seek solitude. This was a memorable stay overall, thanks to Sextantio.

I can't believe just how beautiful this hotel and experience were! Truly magical. The medieval village is gorgeous, the rooms are top-notch. The food is spectacular. And the staff were so friendly and accommodating and professional and kind. We went for my best friend's birthday and we were treated like royalty!! 10/10 recommend this place, this experience and an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of Rome.

Primitive Moldy, musty dark rooms. Smell of oldness was overpowering and sickening. No screens on tiny old windows allowed mosquitoes to enter, into damp dark rooms. Sparse lighting made it difficult to see. Unfortunately paid an excessive price to experience poverty.

Fabulous stay Authentic 13th century village experience

It’s not just an hotel, it’s an experience that brings you back to another world as you are staying within an old village and where beauty, respect of art and culture are at the centre of Sextanio’s hospitality. The kindness and passion of the staff are remarkable and we honestly had one of the best experiences ever. The rooms are little gems, with great touches, breathtaking views, and if you get the superior rooms, the fireplace and bath tub are special. Can’t wait to be there again - thanks so much!
