Villa Penelope is a 2-star hotel in the heart of San Felice Circeo, on the southern coast of Lazio, just 40 metres from the free beach and a short walk from the restaurants in the town centre. The property has a solarium terrace and a second terrace with tables and chairs offering a lovely view over the Mediterranean Sea, ideal for the Italian breakfast served buffet-style every morning.
The rooms, all air-conditioned and furnished in a modern style, come with a private bathroom with colourful fittings, minibar and satellite flat-screen TV; some overlook the garden, others the sea, with a private balcony in the most requested room types. The bed layout is flexible, with double or twin-bed solutions depending on the room chosen.
The location, rated 9.3 by guests, is one of the property’s strong points: 40 metres from the bus stop for the beaches and historic centre, with a shuttle service available to Rome and to Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. A convenient address for those who want to explore the Circeo promontory without giving up connections to the capital.
Villa Penelope offers four types of double rooms, all air-conditioned, with private bathroom, minibar and satellite flat-screen TV, designed for short stays near the sea. The Standard Double Room overlooks the inner garden and has its own patio, while the Superior, of the same size, faces the sea with renovated furnishings.
The Double Room with Balcony and Sea View is the most scenic accommodation, with a private balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, ideal for those seeking a direct sea view from the room. The Economy Double Room, the simplest in the range, instead offers the choice between a double bed or two single beds, making it the most suitable solution for those travelling on a limited budget or who prefer separate beds.
The Standard Double Room opens onto a private patio with a garden view, in a quieter position compared to the sea-facing rooms. Air-conditioned, it comes with a minibar, satellite flat-screen TV and private bathroom with colourful shower box.
Compared to the Standard, the Superior Double Room offers more recent furnishings and an open sea view, while keeping the same size. It comes with a minibar, LCD satellite TV and private bathroom.
This is the only room type with a private balcony overlooking the Mediterranean directly, ideal for those who want to enjoy the sea view without leaving the room. Air-conditioned, with minibar and satellite flat-screen TV.
The Economy Double Room is the simplest solution in the property, without a particular view, but with the advantage of being able to choose between a double bed or two single beds. It has air conditioning, minibar and private bathroom with bidet and hairdryer.
Villa Penelope offers guests a solarium terrace and a second panoramic terrace, as well as a garden and a common lounge with TV area for relaxing. The shuttle service connects the property to central Rome and to Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, while daily housekeeping and an in-room safe ensure a practical stay.
Dining options include a bar and an in-room minibar, useful for those who prefer not to go out for a snack. The rooms, air-conditioned and non-smoking, are also designed for families, with family solutions available on request. Those looking for relaxation can also book a massage, while nature lovers can set off on an excursion in the promontory area, just steps from the property.
Villa Penelope is located in the heart of San Felice Circeo, the town that gives its name to the famous Circeo promontory, between the historic centre and the seafront. The free beach is just 40 metres away, while within about a hundred metres there are several restaurants, including Zero Nodi, Lievito Mare and La Veranda, all around 50-100 metres from the hotel: a lively area especially during the summer months, when the town fills with tourists and residents.
For those getting around without a car, the bus stop for the beaches and the town centre is 40 metres away, with connections to other locations along the Pontine coast. Circeo National Park, one of the oldest coastal parks in Italy, can be reached in a few minutes, about 2.6 km from the property. Those arriving by train can use La Fiora station, 14 km away, while Rome Ciampino Airport is about 74 km away, with a shuttle service from the property available on request for transfers to Rome and to Fiumicino and Ciampino airports.
Activities vary with the season: in summer, the crystal-clear sea and the beaches of the promontory, including Torre Paola beach about 5 km away, are the main draw, along with boat excursions to the Pontine Islands. In the cooler months, Circeo National Park offers trails through Mediterranean scrub and wetlands, while history lovers can visit the Temple of Jupiter Anxur in Terracina, about 15 km away, with a view over the gulf.
