Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel  

Perched on the Gulf of Gaeta in the Arcella area of Gaeta, this seaside hotel is connected to the convention center and a short walk from Spiaggia di Vindicio, Maremoto Windsurf Center, Serapo Beach and the Port of Formia. Family-friendly and well placed for both business and coastal escapes, with shuttle options to the beach, shopping and ferry terminal (surcharge).

Set inside a lovingly restored complex of historic buildings and a 60,000 m² Mediterranean park, the hotel blends ancient Roman ruins and neo‑classic villas with modern comforts. Rooms sit across several wings — The Villa, The Convento, the Sisters' Residence and the Orange Residence — some with parquet floors or two-level suites and many offering panoramic views over the Gulf of Gaeta. Expect restored frescoes, Roman cryptoporticus echoes and chic period touches paired with air conditioning, minibars and satellite TVs.

Two outdoor pools—one Olympic-sized and a shallow pool with hydro-massage seating—sit beside a solarium and pool bar where breakfasts, buffet lunches and summer cocktails are served. The on-site spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. Other perks include complimentary wireless internet, concierge and wedding services, bicycle rentals, a diving club, library, private parking and shuttle services (surcharge). Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and relax in park-like gardens that surround the pool plaza.

A 24-hour business center and express check-in support meetings and events, with historic meeting rooms such as Sala Goethe (seating ~70) and smaller board spaces. Limo/town car service, airport and ferry shuttles (surcharge) and reliable complimentary Wi‑Fi keep business travel running smoothly.

On-site restaurant, bar/lounge and a coffee shop/café cover relaxed and formal dining needs. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM. The pool bar comes alive in summer with live piano evenings and cocktails, and the hotel can host banquet-style meals for weddings and events.
