A meticulous restoration project in the Abruzzo mountains has brought new life to this historic small country town.


On the extraordinary experience of what is probably the most sought-after Albergo Diffuso boutique hotel in Italy, Sextantio has restored these medieval buildings in the historic centre of Santo Stefano di Sessanio and - together with Realitalia, in accordance with the Realitalia business model - created some private homes managed by the Albergo Diffuso itself.


Inspired by a profound vision founded in a strong desire to rediscover local origins, every single property will be the result of a diligent and meticulous work of reconstruction to regain the lost character of these homes in a unique labour of true love.

A few images say more than a 1,000 words!

The historical memory of the People of Abruzzo has helped to preserve not only their heritage but also the traditions and culture of the region, exemplified in its culinary art and the authentic furniture with which these homes are furnished.


Each beautifully-restored home will be furnished with local antique and period furniture and artefacts collected during a scrupulous search of historical villages across the Abruzzo countryside.

Complementing this, the home linen has been produced locally using centuries-old techniques that only recently fell into disuse and have now been rediscovered through Sextantio's programme to revive local traditions.


This will contribute to creating the truly special atmosphere you will breath in your own home in Santo Stefano di Sessanio.


What's more, you will also be able to call on the services provided by the Albergo Diffuso - in accordance with the Realitalia business model - to ensure every aspect of your home ownership is as relaxing as possible, including individual home management, letting management and customized services.
