Island Ventotene
Ventotene Island is the remnant of an ancient prehistoric volcano.
Less than two miles long is rich in history and ancient ruins, and a sea of the most beautiful and exclusive Mediterranean.
The Roman period has left the most significant tracks, including the large residential complex "Villa Giulia", luxurious residence of the daughter of Emperor Augustus exiled to the island of Ventotene punishment for his disorderly conduct, you can admire the "Roman harbor" carved into volcanic rock, a real masterpiece of Roman port, that port is still the safest island. Do not miss the murenaio, peaches, salt cellars, the necropolis of Calabattaglia and museum where you can find the wonders of the archaeological richness of Ventotene.
The sea, the waters deep and rich fauna provide a permanent habitat for the reproduction of many species of fish and for the transit of schools of cetaceans such as dolphins, whales and sperm whales. The location and uniqueness of the island allows thousands of migratory birds to choose it as a resting place during a flight from South Africa to northern Europe. These characteristics have led Ventotene were inserted between the terrestrial and marine parks established in 1999 by the Ministry of Environment. Ventotene has three fully equipped beaches, called Calarossano, Grand Parade and Calanave that are within walking distance. In Punta Arch, within walking distance from the hotel has been recently established an Ornithological Observatory studying the passage of the 'Mediterranean birds and are found hundreds of different species of birds, including white storks and cranes.
A little more than a nautical mile from Ventotene is the island of St. Stephen the imposing of the penitentiary built in 1700 by architect Francesco Carpi who designed a model life sentence on behalf of King Ferdinand IV of Naples and used until 1965 when it was abandoned.
The island of St. Stephen is uninhabited, is the destination of excursions and tours and has only small landing. The grounds are a paradise for divers, you can see walls covered with red gorgonian embellished with delicate interweaving of "roses" of the sea, taking size rarely found
