Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

Daniele Kihlgren, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and budding hotelier, is on a mission to save Italy’s forgotten heritage, one inn at a time. It started with the 16th-century borgo turned luxury resort, the rustic but stylish Sextantio Albergo Diffuso—Kihlgren’s attempt to bring tourism (and money) back to the neglected medieval hamlet in Abruzzo where the inn is located. The 26-room hotel features hand-sewn mattresses filled with hand-carded wool and made up with vintage embroidered linen sheets.
