Bottom Line

Located across from the waterfront, Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel is a picturesque property set amid lemon groves, with a terrace that offers sea views, making it a popular spot for wedding receptions. Five historic buildings make up the mid-range hotel, and the 40 guest rooms are basic but homey. The hotel has an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool and a restaurant.

Oyster Hotel Review

Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel

Scene

Historic buildings in Gulf of Gaeta near beach

Five separate buildings with beautiful historic architecture incorporated into modern renovations make up the Villa Irlanda. One building, the Reception, is located on the ruins of a first-century B.C. Roman villa, and another, the Convent, was built in 1930 as a spiritual retreat for novice priests. The grounds are gorgeous with stone drives, lamp posts, and original chunks of architecture framing the sea. The garden has lemon trees, and an arched topiary creates an entrance to the Olympic-size swimming pool. A rooftop terrace offers views of the nearby sea. The bright lobby is spacious and has clusters of blue seating, and a small library of books for guests to peruse.
