We loved it! ##### Anthony Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a place that everyone should experience at least once! Our room was on the castle grounds and was rustic and authentic…down to the beeswax candles lighting the space. We had one window with shutters that provided absolute darkness when needed and a fresh breeze and sunshine in the mornings. It was like experiencing life in a medieval fortress, with some modern day conveniences. We would highly recommend this place! ##### Kathryn Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matej 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Matej Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna 13 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This property was very unique in that they did a great job preserving the buildings in the time period they were built.

Probably the closest one can get to feeling that their living in the 1400’s (in a good way), one of the most authentic historical properties that I’ve ever visited. Attention to details, in terms of authenticity, was off the charts. Service and staff was amazing as well. Highly recommend, one of the highlights of our 4-week southern Italy tour. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence 2 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a truly unique property that gives you the experience of living in the 16th century.

Unlike any other hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It’s like going back in time. The staff was very professional. Very unique experience. We highly recommend this castle to people looking for a new experience. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 7 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Primitive Moldy, musty dark rooms. Smell of oldness was overpowering and sickening. No screens on tiny old windows allowed mosquitoes to enter, into damp dark rooms. Sparse lighting made it difficult to see. Unfortunately paid an excessive price to experience poverty. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian 27 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We enjoyed this experience - and that is what is it, an experience. It aims to show guests what living there over the centuries would have been like. That said, if you have issues with mobility you must be prepared. Not just for the hotel, but of course the whole town and region. Stairs, cobble stones, scaffolding- a cane is the best one can do for assistance and be prepared with hiking shoes to tackle the streets and myriad stairs. It was slow going for my arthritic hips and the cane helped a lot. It’s beautiful and the hotel is doing a wonderful job. It’s sooo quiet at night and the starry skies are lovely. If you have noisy neighbors, you’ll hear everything- the ancient doors and alleyways don’t muffle any sounds! ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathrine Stabel 24 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Cathrine Stabel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### cristine 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort 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 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b518f14e-0933-40e7-947c-7c79a99df624-1759503393100.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### cristine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camille 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Village magnifique et surprenant.
