Il San Francesco Charming Hotel  

Perched on the shore of Lake Sabaudia inside the Circeo National Park, this white‑modern hotel looks like a ship ready to sail. It’s 500 meters from a private beach and sea access, about 1 hour from Rome and close to the little Sanctuary of S. Maria. Pet‑friendly and family‑friendly, with easy access to lake cruises and jet‑boat departures to Ponza.

The building’s clean lines and flowing drapes meet a large garden that frames sweeping lake views. Inside are 27 individually decorated rooms with memory‑foam beds, minibars and flat‑screen TVs. Bathrooms feature shower/tub combos with rainfall showerheads and bidets. Expect a relaxed, contemporary vibe with local touches and plenty of water views.

Spa facilities include a hot tub, spa tub, Turkish bath and steam room, plus spa treatments and a solarium. Swim in the indoor pool or unwind in the jacuzzi. Active options range from bicycles to rent, a yoga area and a diving club to an on‑site aquapark. There’s a private pier, garden, beach shuttle (surcharge), concierge and 24‑hour front desk.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, a business center and two meeting rooms (plus a conference hall) make it easy to mix work and leisure. Self parking is available onsite.

Da Ludo sul Lago serves Mediterranean cuisine with garden views and alfresco seating. Enjoy drinks at the bar/lounge, buffet breakfast daily (for a fee, 7:30–10:00) and limited‑hours room service for late nights or lazy mornings.
