About the place
Where
Perched on Italy’s Gulf of Gaeta in Formia, this historic seafront hotel sits a short drive from the Port of Formia, Ischia ferry and the Diocesan Museum. Expect sweeping Gulf views and direct access to a private beach.
Details
Once Queen Elena of Savoia’s summer residence, the property is a cluster of six restored villas with Venetian-style rooms and vintage original furniture. Each of the 55 air-conditioned rooms is unique, many with balconies or terraces overlooking the sea; the former royal suite still houses period furniture and a wrought-iron chandelier. The vibe blends classic Italian elegance with modern comforts — perfect for family-friendly stays, romantic getaways or heritage-minded travelers.
Amenities
Relax on a private, equipped beach or by the seasonal outdoor/seafront swimming pool and treat yourself at the on-site massage and wellness services. Other perks include concierge and wedding services, a multilingual staff, occasional complimentary guest receptions, free self-parking and airport shuttle service for a surcharge — plus buffet breakfasts to kick off sea-breeze mornings.

The hotel offers a business center, two meeting rooms and a 70 m² (753 ft²) conference space for events. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps meetings and remote work connected.
Dining
Two on-site restaurants serve classic Italian and Mediterranean fare, including the storied Sala degli Specchi and the atmospheric Grotta del Fauno, both celebrated in Italian food guides. A bar/lounge and room service (limited hours) round out dining options, and a daily buffet breakfast is served each morning.
