総合評価とレビュー Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

ラクイラのホテルを探していましたが、市街地のホテルは2009年大地震の影響で壊滅状態にあり予約不能で、郊外のホテルを探してここを見つけました。ラクイラからは車で1時間程度のアブルッツオ国立公園中に位置する小さな村にあるホテルで、この村にたどり着くまでは「本当に人が住む村がこの先にあるのだろうか？」と不安を抱きながらのドライブでした。村自体は観光地化されてバスツアーで訪れるような人達もおり、地元ではそこそこ知られた村なのかもしれません。ちなみに私たちの宿でご一緒した家族はスコットランドから訪れていました。 部屋自体はまさに中世の館を再現したような感じで、部屋のキーも鉄製の15センチ、500グラムはあろうかというほどのクラシックなもの。部屋内の装飾も水のボトルから戸棚から暖炉に至るまで極力現代的なものを廃した趣で、テレビも置いてありませんでした（でも部屋でWiFiが使えました）。 ホテルのレセプション、客室、レストラン等が別々の棟に配されており、移動にはいったん外に出る必要がありますが、このホテルの不思議な魅力を感じればそれもありかなと思ってしまいます。 唯一不満だったのはシャワーブースで、私たちの部屋の場合は部屋内を木製の壁で仕切っただけの空間がシャワーブースとなっており、お湯は出ないわ、流れた水がシャワーブース外にも侵入して来るわで結局シャワーは使えませんでした。 いろんな不便さもありますが、他にはないユニークな雰囲気で中世の生活を体感することに興味があるのであれば是非訪れてみてください。きっと不思議な暖かさの虜になると思います。

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.

Village magnifique et surprenant. Belle découverte.

This unique property takes you back in time to a lost era. We loved the impressive attention to detail and all the food (we had breakfast and tried both the restaurant and canteen). We had a warm welcome and got a present for our special occasion. So this stays a 5-star review with just one beauty mark: very poor check out experience. Two staff could only manage one guest at a time, and this created a consistent line (20 min). Unfortunately, water went off in the whole town one day (nobody’s fault). They managed to fix it quite fast - with limitations. So for instance, we were unable to fully enjoy some of the great amenities you see in the pictures (design bathtub in the room) because water had to be saved and hot water didn’t work for a longer while too. This is ok, it’s understandable, the “unexpected” happens and it’s not a tragedy. But we would have ant least appreciated some sort of little, even symbolic compensation from a place of this kind. Not a word about it when we left and that didn’t feel right. This being said, I would still come back with pleasure and recommended it to anyone, as everything else was more than worth the 5 stars!

L’atmosfera del borgo è unica e suggestiva, la stanza Classic non è particolarmente spaziosa ma curata. Personale molto gentile e disponibile

We stayed for a week in this wonderful Village. The Hotel was fantastic and we will come back

El hotel es muy atipicamente encantador por la forma que esta planificado, nos encanto el cuarto familiar y el pueblito.

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.

Struttura meravigliosa. Consiglierei soltanto una temperatura inferiore nelle stanze. Per il resto direi tutto ottimo.

Authentic 13th century village experience

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.

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.

This place is simply amazing. Unlike any other hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It’s like going back in time. The staff was very professional. Very unique experience. We highly recommend this castle to people looking for a new experience.

Amazing property and experience

We enjoyed this experience - and that is what is it, an experience. It aims to show guests what living there over the centuries would have been like. That said, if you have issues with mobility you must be prepared. Not just for the hotel, but of course the whole town and region. Stairs, cobble stones, scaffolding- a cane is the best one can do for assistance and be prepared with hiking shoes to tackle the streets and myriad stairs. It was slow going for my arthritic hips and the cane helped a lot. It’s beautiful and the hotel is doing a wonderful job. It’s sooo quiet at night and the starry skies are lovely. If you have noisy neighbors, you’ll hear everything- the ancient doors and alleyways don’t muffle any sounds!

Amazing!

A wonderful authentic place in the heart of Abbruzis.

This is a truly unique property that gives you the experience of living in the 16th century. (With the essential modern conveniences of course)
