About the property

Sextantio Albergo Diffuso offers unique accommodation in the fortified medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, deep in the Abruzzo hillside, at 1250 metres a.s.l.

This spectacular hilltop village in the Gran Sasso National Park has been perfectly preserved. Rooms and junior suites are scattered in the original, period buildings.

You will find beautiful, simple décor, locally woven linens, 17th-century wooden ceilings, and ancient fireplaces. All this is combined with modern technology, including under-floor heating and remote-controlled lighting.

At the Sextantio Albergo Diffuso, the restaurant serves a great range of local recipes, all made using fresh food grown in the neighbouring fields.

Outside the ancient walls, you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, from climbing and hang-gliding, to hiking and horse-riding. Famous ski slopes are also just a short drive away as are many interesting old towns and villages.

Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.

Santo Stefano di Sessanio is a comune and hill town in the province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy. Located in the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park, in the highest region of the Apennines, this medieval hill town sits adjacent to the high plain of Campo Imperatore. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia.

As you wander through the narrow cobblestone streets, you will be transported back in time to the medieval era. The town is home to a beautiful castle, which dates back to the 16th century. The castle has been restored and turned into a luxurious hotel, where you can experience a taste of the past while enjoying modern amenities.

One of the most notable features of Santo Stefano di Sessanio is the stunning landscape that surrounds the town. The Gran Sasso National Park is just a stone's throw away and offers a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and skiing. The park is home to some of the highest peaks in the Apennine mountain range, including the majestic Corno Grande.
