Crossed by a 2,000-year history, it appears like the outline of a whale seen from afar, surrounded by sea and dotted with the soft colors of low houses.
Ventotene gives deep emotions, and in every season it offers the ultimate expression of what a Mediterranean island is all about. The silent winters, emphasized by the wind and the sound of the footsteps of its few inhabitants. The spring that suddenly explodes, revealing in the midst of an essential land intense scents and colors, to be experienced with all the senses on the alert. Sunny summers, with the sea as the protagonist above and below, with seabeds among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean accessible even if only for a swim, the few beaches, the fragile reefs constantly changing.
The transition between summer and autumn occurs through the most beautiful festival, that of Santa Candida, the island’s patron saint. The season is mild, after the summer everything recomposes, the still warm days full of memories offer an extension of the season to be exploited to the full.
