The Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita is a hotel located in Southern Italy. Swedish entrepreneur Daniele Kihlgren remodeled the ancient cave which was once a space used by the area's farmers.
Although this breathtaking grotto fell apart over the years, Kihlgren ensured that the rubble was reassembled by returning each stone to its proper position.
The accommodations offered by Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita provide a mixture of old and new elements. Although fully equipped with beds and baths, Kihlgren avoided the incorporation of any type of modern technology that would interfere with the serene, primordial environment. The only updates that were permitted were those that would remain invisible for lodgers. Regardless, the amenities meet the needs of today's traveller.
