ACCOMMODATIONS
Settled in the 11th Century as a fortified hilltop village, Santo Stefano di Sessanio is naturally compact and walkable. All lodging in the village is conveniently located just a short stroll from the weekend’s main gatherings, planned activities, and shuttles to and from the ceremony and airport.
The area offers a charming collection of independent inns and B&Bs, many with views of the surrounding Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. A few of our favorites are featured below.
Our wedding coordinator, Marco Buzzi, is available to answer questions and help you select and book accommodations. (Tel/Whatsapp +39 345 300 8101; Email: sales.sstefano@sextantio.it)
If you make your own booking (not through Marco), please let us know where you will be staying.
