Hotel spread through the medieval houses of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, with fireplaces, loom-woven blankets and mountain furniture; own restaurant.

A hotel spread across a village
Sextantio is not a building: it is medieval houses in Santo Stefano di Sessanio, at more than 1,250 m inside the national park, restored as rooms. The project began to save the village without changing it. It uses only reclaimed material, hides the technology and furnishes the houses with what there was in the mountains of Abruzzo. The interiors are inspired by the photographs the Swiss linguist Paul Scheuermeier took in the region in the 1920s: wool mattresses, blankets woven on looms with natural dyes, floors of baked clay or planks. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Key in 2024 and 2025.
The rooms
There are Classic and Superior rooms, suites and executive suites, each with its own name: the Camera sul Campanile, La Torre, La Stalla, the Casa con la Grotta, with the bathroom carved into the rock. Many have a fireplace and a bathtub in the room itself, and the suites add a sitting room with a fireplace for exclusive use; some, a kitchen. For families there are triples with a separate single bed and the Camera dei bambini, with its own entrance. Don't expect television or hotel decoration: it is part of the idea.
Eating and getting there
The restaurant, Sextantio Cucina, is in a palace in the village, on via Sotto gli Archi, and cooks recipes gathered from the area's elders. You reach the village by car; you park at the entrance and the rest is on foot along stone streets, so travel with manageable luggage. From here you have Rocca Calascio a few kilometres away and Campo Imperatore by climbing via Castel del Monte.
