Beautiful experience in this charming medieval village. The rooms are incredible and very authentic and rustic. It’s very easy to imagine how they must have lived centuries ago. The staff are very eager to assist and accommodate any need.

Very unique experience but maybe not for everyone. Very rustic rooms, comfortable bed, spectacular views but not The Ritz. We loved it!

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!

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!

The property was very lovely, and the room was wonderful! They had the wood ready for the fireplace each night. Breakfast was very nice and the staff in the Cantina were lovely. We were there when restaurant wasn't open, so that was a disappointment, and the town was pretty deserted. However, it was so pretty that we would return to the area, and stay here again.

One of the most special hotels we’ve stayed in (and we travel a lot). 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.

This is a truly unique property that gives you the experience of living in the 16th century. (With the essential modern conveniences of course)

This place is simply amazing. 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.

2/10 Poor

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 review

8/10 Very good

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Smakfullt innredde rom i historisk bygning. Gode madrasser. Det hadde vært nyttig med noen flere knagger. Tidenes frokostbuffet! Vi fikk ikke prøvd gourmetrestauranten, men den enklere restauranten som hotellet har var også god.
