La Rosa Dei Venti

The perfect island retreat. If you are looking for a peaceful, chilled base to explore Procida, this is for you. The place itself is a collection of little cottages about a 20 minute walk from Marina Grande. Beautiful gardens, lemon trees, views, the lot! We stayed in a cottage which had a double bed, bathroom, kitchenette and all the required amenities. Everything was very simple but very clean. There is a small set of stairs that take you down onto the coast, where you have a private stretch of rock, access into the sea for swimming and great views! ||||I would recommend getting a taxi there just for the first time if you have luggage, because Google Maps took us down a narrow coastal path (which was stunning but not great with wheeled luggage). Gianni was a great host and we would love to stay again. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, simple, island holiday. Thank you Gianni!!

A very quiet shelter among lemontrees, flowers, birdsong and green, green grass-- maybe ten little white houses, only a private path & some 50 steps away from the (wavy&rocky) sea. If you like a sandy beach it's a 30 minute walk. If you like snorkling between rocks in a now deep, now more shallow bit of wild sea it's three minutes. ||Gianni the owner lives on the terrain, he is very friendly, speaks pretty good English and mostly leaves you at peace, although he may organize an occasional big dinner or a tour by boat. He used to run a diving school, but now only organizes trips when he's up to it (or on request). ||The house we had was spacious & beautiful, but (unsurprising, end of july) very hot. After we asked, Gianni brought us some fans, making it much better. The interior & supplies are basic but sufficient; it has a nice little terrace where you can dine. I did remove the bedcovers as they were smelling mouldy (we had perfectlyclean sheets) as well as the odd smelling mattress from the spare bed. After that the children's bedroom still smells somewhat strange, I suspect it' the other mattress. With the fan & having put some bushes of lavender and lemonpeel from the garden it is bearable, doesn't bother our kid. There are a few donkeys in their own yard and a number of cats around, and a lot of stinging flies (not nice! --only thing we knew to do against those was to constantly stay in the wind of the fans).||There is a central terrace with a small tv (the olympics are on), where people bring their own drinks. Close to the terrace there is free wifi-- the people with laptops, tablets and phones gather around there. The atmosphere is overall very relaxed.

I just spent a week here and loved it, and I've been here twice before. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. The collection of charming houses is surrounded by trees and flowers. You can walk down to the sea to swim (it's not a sandy beach but rocky), and early in the morning you may be the only one there. The breakfast buffet includes amazing homemade cakes and jams, but the rooms are equipped with kitchens so you can also cook for yourself. The family that runs the place is warm, helpful, and caring. It is a bit of a walk to the port or to other parts of the island, but it is a lovely walk. You don't have air conditioning or a TV (although a TV has appeared in the breakfast area for important events such as soccer games), but you have WiFi.

An amazing place ran by amazing people! Close to the beach, surrounded by lemon trees and kind donkeys, the bungalows are a real cocoon in a paradisiac island. Giovanni and Rossella are really friendly, open minded and connected to the Nature. They love Procida and its shown by their sight as well as their words. All you need is there: a comfy nest, nature, sun and joyful people. Grazie mille for having me and I amm truly looking forward to seeing you again!!! Stammi benne, Camille <3

We stayed there for a week back in 1999. Beautiful and cozy. Clean and friendly.

Wonderful experience,run by a friedly staff with a private access to the sea. If you need relax this is the place :)
