Hotel Mezzatorre

Perched on Ventotene’s Piazza Castello, this three-star hotel hugs the sea with direct views of the islet of Santo Stefano. Cala Nave beach is about 50 metres away, and Ventotene Beach, the port and Soccorso Church are all a short stroll. Museo Archeologico, Memoriale Il Giardino della Vita and Parrocchia Santa Candida are within walking distance. Ferries run from Formia year-round and from Naples in summer.

Renovated while keeping its original architecture, the compact three-level property has 20 cosy rooms designed for sea-view living. Room types include Standard (sea-view window), Superior (sea-view balcony) and Comfort (sea-view with private solarium). Rooms come with air conditioning, shower and hairdryer, TV, telephone, minibar and in-room safe. Bright, detail-focused décor, connecting rooms available and small pets welcome.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll through the garden or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. On-site bar and restaurant, parking, laundry, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box keep things easy. Free Wi‑Fi is available in the common areas. Pet-friendly and perfect for relaxed island stays.

A hearty continental breakfast buffet is served from 08:00 to 11:00 to start the day right. The sea-view terrace restaurant offers an à la carte menu of regional and national dishes, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.
