Beautiful experience in this charming medieval village. The rooms are incredible and very authentic and rustic. It’s very easy to imagine how they must have lived centuries ago. The staff are very eager to assist and accommodate any need.

Very unique experience but maybe not for everyone. Very rustic rooms, comfortable bed, spectacular views but not The Ritz. We loved it!

This was a place that everyone should experience at least once! Our room was on the castle grounds and was rustic and authentic…down to the beeswax candles lighting the space. We had one window with shutters that provided absolute darkness when needed and a fresh breeze and sunshine in the mornings. It was like experiencing life in a medieval fortress, with some modern day conveniences. We would highly recommend this place!

One of the most special hotels we’ve stayed in (and we travel a lot). Probably the closest one can get to feeling that their living in the 1400’s (in a good way), one of the most authentic historical properties that I’ve ever visited. Attention to details, in terms of authenticity, was off the charts. Service and staff was amazing as well. Highly recommend, one of the highlights of our 4-week southern Italy tour.

Posted 7 Jul 2023 on HotelsMoldy, 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.

Hello, thank you for staying with us. We are sorry we were not able to explain better our philosophy and concept. Rather than a "standard" resort, Sextantio is a cultural project. With the researches of the “Genti d’Abruzzo” Museum, carried out by national ranked anthropologist and archaeologist, we have re-used only original forniture, handmade bed covers, and other autochthonous materials. We use crafted pottery, natural soaps and candles. We've saved the traces of past lives on the walls/ceilings, and lots of the activities related to the oral traditions of the mountain. It is a place that need to be chosen and internalized. International press (The New York Times, CNN, The Times, etc.) talks about "safeguarding of minor historical heritage" of Italy, and "a jump into the past".Best regards.
