The Fascinating Sextantio Albergo Diffuso Hotel in Italy

In terms of outstanding hotels, Sextantio Albergo Diffuso is definitely among the best! You can find it in the medieval village of S. Stefano di Sessanio, Italy, with a fascinating medieval architecture and an old, fairy tale-like charm. Oriano Associati Architetti was commissioned to refresh the historic building, but they had to do this without altering its amazing original architecture.

The castle is located in a beautiful village which is an excellent example of medieval hill towns in Italy. Unfortunately, the past century has brought many modernization projects that have destroyed the rich architectural heritage of the country. Santo Stefano, however, was a village that was saved from this harsh treatment by the fact that it was deserted when its inhabitants left it to search for work in richer areas of Italy.

The imposing Sextantio Albergo Diffuso hotel is part of a big plan to revive the village without affecting its integrity. Oriano Associati Architetti together with the local authorities have even proposed new laws that prohibit the construction of new buildings in the village. This way the local character of Santo Stefano can be kept intact for every visitor to fully enjoy it. This even includes locally sourced food and many local traditions that can’t wait to be discovered by modern visitors. Doesn’t it all sound charming?
