Il San Francesco Charming Hotel is a 4-star hotel in Sabaudia, on the shores of Lake Paola, surrounded by a park that changes color from spring to autumn. The property is aimed at those seeking a seaside holiday without giving up a well-tended natural setting, just steps from the Circeo coastline.
The rooms follow a colonial style with a predominance of white: they all feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, minibar and centralized air conditioning, while some room types add a balcony or terrace with a lake or garden view. The suites and junior suites, with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, are designed for families or small groups.
Among the amenities are a small wellness area with a room-temperature tub and Turkish bath, the Da Ludo restaurant overlooking the lake and specializing in traditional cuisine, and access to a partner beach club with sun loungers and umbrellas during the summer months. Buffet breakfast, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, starts every day. Private parking is free, while pets are not allowed on the property.
The hotel offers eight room and suite types, all air-conditioned and equipped with private bathroom, TV and minibar, ranging from 14 to 30 square meters. The standard double rooms, more compact, are designed for couples’ stays, while the versions with balcony or lake view add a more scenic outlook over the park or the water. The twin room offers an alternative for those who don’t share a bed.
For those traveling as a family or group, the junior suites and the suite with lake view offer multiple bedrooms, double bathrooms and separate dining areas, with capacity for up to four people.
