Located an hour and a half from Rome by car, you arrive in a quiet little paradise.
Each room, simple, is like a boat cabin with a view of the sea.
The restaurant and breakfast room is like a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and the islands facing it. At lunch it is on a small shaded terrace, overlooking the water, that we feast on extremely good Mediterranean cuisine.
The Pension located at the foot of the lighthouse, on rocks, offers direct access to the sea, and sun beds arranged on as many small terraces created according to the topography of the place.
Here luxury is experience!
A little paradise, managed and animated by a super friendly team, that we would like to keep secret to book it.
This hotel is as hip and glamorous as any of the renamed "currently in" New York hotels. This maybe the influence of hotel's management that brings to the table a cool breeze of surf, sand and sun that we all heavy travelers look forward to when trying to disconnect from everyday's life and escape to paradise.
The food is excellent. The fresh fish was a permanent temptation and i struggled with my choosing everyday as i wanted to try it all!
The ocean unbeatable in beauty. And the views...well, if you are planning a honeymoon or a romantic escapade, this is the place to go....I can tell :)
Thanks for the hospitality and we will be back the moment we have the chance.
We had a standard room which was large and airy with a lawned garden leading out to the rocky steps down to the sea. There was very little between out room and the sea below.
When we booked the hotl Dario joked that we could dive into the sea from the car park and he is right.
The hotel has a chic laid back approach and is staffed by Dario's 'Crew' who went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed for a fabulous stay.
There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas on the rocks leading down to the sea with the most beautiful views towards the island of Ponza.
There is a lovely bar facing out to sea which is staffed by the delightful Francessca who was so cheerful and sweet she was a pleasure to see each day.
The restaurant is a destination for other people in the area and was usually very busy. The atmosphere is romantic with Moroccan lamps and African lanterns. It is open to the sea and the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks was wonderful. The food was outstanding with a great choice of sea food. When reserving our table for dinner the staff always ensured we had a table right by the sea no matter how busy the restaurant was.
On our last night we decided to go to the beautiful hilltop town of San Felice for dinner and asked the reception staff to get us a taxi at a set time.
We were surprised to see that the restaurant manager was waiting to take us with recommendations on where to eat and the hotel owner (Dario) came to collect us when we were ready. Apparently the nearest taxi is 30 Kilometres away and instead of saying that they cheerfully decided to take us.
This hotel is a perfect little retreat and we will definitely be returning.
Best things about the hotel are very Italian ambience, great location, unobstructed sea views virtually from everywhere, great food and great hospitality of the hotel team. Can’t think of many downsides - maybe rooms are a bit basic and hotel charges a fee for using sunbeds and umbrellas, though these are minor and in any case didn’t spoil our vacation.
All in all believe this is a great option for a sea-side vacation in Italy and quite possible we will come back next summer.
We already knew the restaurant, which has the hotel's same unique location (it's just above the hotel, so great sea view) and offers very good food (appetizers, fish, and pizza, too, among its specialties) at a reasonable price, considering the location!
It was our first time at the hotel, we had a very large room which had its best in the large private terrace just above the sea!
Air conditioned was present too, probably a must in the Summer, considering the hotel faces the sea and it's southbound. Comfortable bed and bathroom, everything quite clean. Don't expect a super-luxury resort, which would cost you at least twice the fare you'll find here. You will find something that needs a little refurbishment, too, but consider the whole thing (hotel+restaurant) as a small gem in an amazing location, extremely relaxing and away from the city-like confusion (nevertheless, you can experience nightlife, in Summer, just 10 minutes away - by car - in the nice old village of San Felice).
Just imagine sea, rocks, and right above is your room, and above it, the restaurant! You really don't need anything more.
I personally think that Circeo has nothing less than other better known Italian gems. The only problem is what has been - badly - built nearby, but that' is true for the villages below the "mountain", and does not impact where Il Faro is. There, nature's at its best and Il Faro is just well-placed in the midst of it.
Last but not least, everything’s run by an informal and young staff, very nice and helpful.
In conclusion........... extra-recommended!!!
"All of the rooms look out to sea you can have a terrace or a balcony. No need to upgrade the room the standard is great."Read full review
