Tucked away in the heart of an ancient volcanic landscape, the soft surrounds of each room at Parco Dei Sesi keep the sea, hidden gardens, and calm by the pool all within reach. Each room is an ensuite retreat, but we find the real magic is in the shared spaces where our days will flow between the garden and sea, lounging by the pool, and gathering for workshops, shared meals, and excursions.
Rooms are filled on a first-come basis.
— Shared room w. ensuite bathroom — € 2900
— Private room w. ensuite bathroom — € 3900
