Santo Stefano di Sessanio sits in the Abruzzo mountains at 1,250 metres, cobbled streets and 13th-century stone buildings barely changed in centuries. Sextantio's albergo diffuso approach scatters rooms through the historic village itself: frescoed walls, hand-carved fireplaces, and beds from local chestnut. No TVs, no carpets, no minibar. Just an extraordinary historic atmosphere and complete mountain quiet.

Because this isn't optional. Take time out of sightseeing to sip and nibble the spread laid on by Sextantio. Centerba, anyone?
