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。

A very interesting visit and experience. Highly recommend.

The property was very lovely, and the room was wonderful! They had the wood ready for the fireplace each night. Breakfast was very nice and the staff in the Cantina were lovely. We were there when restaurant wasn't open, so that was a disappointment, and the town was pretty deserted. However, it was so pretty that we would return to the area, and stay here again.

O lugar é inesquecível, foi um dos lugares mais bonitos que já vi! A experiência única! E qto a equipe posso dizer que foram muito solícitos e gostaria de agradecer em especial a Cristina que nos deu toda atenção e foi por demais prestativa(nota 10).

impressive project very well thought through

Sextantio is a unique experience. You should absolutely go. This is the ultimate experience if you like history and luxury. The rooms have soul and warmth to them, while also being clean and very comfortable. All staff is very kind and service minded.

Lugar lindíssimo, mas faltam itens de conforto. Inclusive dizia que o hotel possuía ar condicionado e não tinha. Creio que faltam mais explicações sobre o tipo do hotel, que se encontra em um burgo histórico e cuja reforma adicionou poucos itens de modernidade. Se você busca conforto, não é o seu lugar ideal. Talvez, se estiver atrás de algo mais rústico, aí sim. Não deixa de ser interessante, se a ideia é visitar a história, somente

A once in a lifetime experience to stay in the gloriousky restored riooms of the Albergo Diffuso set in the amazing project that is San Stefano ehich hss breathed life back into a deserted village. Wonderful mountain counteyside all around. And some goof foid in thr restaurants too!

Amazing strongly recommended

This property was very unique in that they did a great job preserving the buildings in the time period they were built. Attention to detail with the decor, food offerings, service were all wonderful and very much appreciated. would definitely return here.

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
