Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita

An experience to remember! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and instantly felt at ease. The staff were absolutely wonderful — friendly, thoughtful, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The room was charming: spotless, tastefully decorated, and full of little touches that made it extra special. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and the location was perfect — close to everything, yet quiet and tucked away. I’m definitely planning to come back. It’s one of those rare places that makes you feel good the second you walk through the door.

An absolute dream of a hotel – I couldn’t recommend it more highly! The rooms are full of charm, beautifully preserved in their original style, with incredibly comfortable beds. The best part? Coming back in the evening to the soft glow of candlelight in the room – it’s magical and so welcoming. The service was outstanding – incredibly friendly and attentive. And the breakfast? Truly one of the best hotel breakfast experiences I’ve ever had. There’s a wide variety, everything is fresh and absolutely delicious. This was such a special stay – I would love to come back anytime. Highly, highly recommended!
