Thanks to its particular charm, 2.000 years ago, Ventotene, has been chosen from Emperor Augustus as his summer home. According to Omero it was the Island of the mermaid, nowadays is qualified as the “Pearl of the Tirreno”. It has a surface of 1,237 km2 and is the smallest inhabited island of the Pontian Archipelago. To take care of its full nature and its wilderness is today State Nature Reserve and Marine Protected Area. Surrounded by a crystalline sea that breaks its waves on the tuff walls full of small byes, Ventonene is loved by all visitors. Not really animated from the night life, it is the ideal place to get away from the chaos of the city and to enjoy an holiday made of wellness and relax.
