Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

This is a great experience, must do if you are in the area, excellent for couples. The rooms are elegantly restored, keeping original materials for the most part, mixing it with luxurious furniture.

The location is amazing! I wanted a unique experience on our first trip to Abruzzo, and this was certainly it! We stayed for two nights (Saturday & Sunday) in the Casa con L'Arco suite under the Medici Tower. We entered the suite to lovely candlelight and a tasty cordial, very romantic. It was charming & rustic, but so clean, a private bathroom with a tub/shower (the handheld shower attaches to a ceiling mount to create a shower effect - the water splashes everywhere, lol, but the terra cotta tiles dry quickly) and private bedroom. They provided plenty of towels, robes and slippers! We found the beds comfortable, with plenty of blankets to keep us warm. It did get a little chilly at night, but our suite included a fireplace. My only issue with the room was that the two outlets we had (only in the bathroom) were recessed into the wall and prevented our adapters from plugging in firmly. I would add a small area rug on each side of the bed. There was a step stool to get onto the bed, which was helpful. The town is tranquil, relaxed, safe and scenic. There are amazing views with every step you take. It certainly gave me a feeling of serenity. We weren't able to get into the hotel restaurant, but we had a fabulous dinner at La Locanda Sul Lago our first night. Our server was amazing as well. She didn't speak much english, but she appreciated my attempt at speaking Italian and was delightful! Dinner at Cuore Nero our second night was fabulous as well. We took a day trip to Sulmona and Rocca Calascio (we had a rental car). So much in this area to see and do if you want to get away from the tourist crowds and just enjoy old Italy. There were a couple tour groups that came through the town, which was annoying, but once they left there was peace. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how fantastico the people and the service were at Sextantio. Anything we needed, any questions we had, taken care of right away. The gentleman at the front desk was so very helpful and kind. The porters were wonderful and careful with our bags. Value is subjective, our stay was worth every penny to us. Would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful place for a getaway. Amazing location, the town is a gem, and a very cool and comfortable accommodation. The room is so medieval and so comfortable at the same time, it’s amazing. The bed was confortable, the view form the town or the suite (depending on which one you will be staying) was spectacular. The staff at abbetagio were very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was amazing, with local specialties and other nice stuff. Lots of tracking or just drives or walks to do around. Plenty of dining options. We had hard times leaving the place.
