Grand Hotel Helios

Grand Hotel Helios is a 4-star hotel in Tarquinia Lido, just 5 minutes from the sea, featuring an outdoor pool and direct access to a private beach set within a pine forest.

The property is designed for those looking for a seaside holiday without giving up the services of a higher-category hotel: the rooms, all air-conditioned and equipped with a balcony, flat-screen TV and private bathroom, are divided between economy and standard options and room types with direct beach access, suitable for couples, families and small groups thanks to the availability of triple and family rooms.

Guests have two dining options available: the main restaurant Helios, serving meals both indoors and outdoors, and Lupo di Mare, overlooking the pool, with Italian cuisine and seafood specialties. A garden with sun loungers and umbrellas, bicycle rental and a 24-hour front desk round out the offering. The hotel is located about 3 km from Tarquinia station and a 10-minute drive from the historic centre, in a location that travelling couples have rated particularly highly.

Room types

The rooms at Grand Hotel Helios share a common set of features including air conditioning, balcony, flat-screen TV and private bathroom, and all cover around 18 square metres.

Location & what to see

Grand Hotel Helios is located in Tarquinia Lido, the seaside hamlet of Tarquinia overlooking the Tyrrhenian coast, in a residential area surrounded by a pine forest and just a 5-minute walk from the sea. The neighbourhood is quiet and family-friendly, with restaurants and everyday amenities clustered within a few hundred metres of the property.

50 metres from the hotel are the restaurants Napul’È and Lupo di Mare, while the Carpe Diem ice cream parlour is about 100 metres away and Bar Corsaro is 500 metres away: everything needed for daily meals is reachable on foot. Voltone Beach is 2.3 km away, Tarquinia railway station is about 2.8 km away, and the city’s historic centre can be reached in a 10-minute drive. For those arriving by air, Rome Fiumicino Airport is about 60 km away, an hour’s drive along the coast.

The area is well suited to a classic seaside holiday, with the hotel’s private beach as a fixed point during the summer months, but it also offers cultural options for those wanting to vary their stay: Tarquinia’s historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Etruscan necropolises, is just a few minutes’ drive away, as are the trails and parks of the hinterland about 15-16 km away, such as Il Bosco Incantato and Parco Uliveto, suitable for walks off-season or on cooler days away from the beach.
