Galatea, which means “with milk-white skin”, is named after the sea nymph described in Greek mythology. The apartment is accessed from the upper garden, which has terraces and various viewpoints and is shared with some of the other apartments.
A small entrance door beside the dome of the adjacent church of San Francesco leads into the apartment, which consists of:
- a very spacious scenic bedroom with a king size bed and a free-standing bath tub at the foot of the bed in an exceptional panoramic vantage point;
- a bathroom with a shower;
- a second double bedroom, the “alcove”, with a special king size bed and a view of the upper garden;
- a second bathroom with a large shower;
- a spacious living area with a fireplace and large windows looking onto the front terrace;
- a separate kitchen area.
All the rooms are air conditioned.
The first double bedroom and the living room both face west onto a large furnished level terrace, from where you could almost touch the sea that bathes the beautiful beach of San Francesco, framed by palm trees. The terrace has a pergola and is perfectly usable all the year round, to admire the beautiful sunsets and the outline of Ventotene Island on the horizon.
The apartment was completely renovated in the autumn of 2015 under the supervision of interior designer Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva. The renovation was aimed at restoring the original structure of the residence from the turn of the last century; where there was a single large room used as a bedroom by the previous English owner, subsequently modified during the restructuring in the 1980s, a single visual space has now been recreated, including the living room and bedroom area, which are separated by a large glazed partition.For the work, wide use was made of modern materials such as resin and special paints, together with traditional materials such as simple hand forged wrought iron and common glass, all used in harmony with items of design furniture.



Rita was our point of contact, very responsive, friendly and helpful!
Highly recommend - 02 Jun 2022


Nous avons pu nous ravitailler facilement dans la petite supérette du quartier à des prix raisonnables.
Nos garderons un souvenir émerveillé de notre séjour à Ischia et à l'Eremo di Montevirgine ! - 21 Apr 2022

Restaurants et plage à proximité.
Seul bémol : vérifier que tout le matériel concernant les enfants est bien présent .
Nous avons dû réclamer le matelas du lit bébé ( résolu rapidement) et manque de chaise haute sur tout le séjour. - 15 Apr 2022









l'appartamento non è vicinissimo a Forio ma il paese è raggiungibile con una comoda passeggiata lungo mare che in circa 20 minuti porta al centro, localini e ristoranti sono comunque nelle vicinanze. Il bellissimo parco botanico di Mortella è invece vicinissimo e sicuramente da visitare. - 30 Oct 2018

You can reach the beach 10 minutes walking downhill. (uphill to go back 🙂 There are good restaurants bars around: Nicola is a really good easy going place from breakfast to dinner. I would also recommend La Sciavica restaurant. - 17 Aug 2018



Abbiamo soggiornato nell’appartamento Galatea e tutto è stato fantastico, Rita ci ha accolti e subito si è prodigata perché il nostro soggiorno fosse il più comodo e rilassante possibile, abbiamo potuto noleggiare uno scooter a ottimi prezzi, ci ha consigliato ristoranti in zona davvero ottimi e ha fatto sì che potessimo restare all’Eremo oltre l’orario di check out e fino al nostro transfer per il porto anch’ esso organizzato da lei! Inoltre, avendole detto che eravamo lì per il compleanno di mia moglie ci ha omaggiati da parte di Giuseppe di una bottiglia di limoncello di Ischia. Non sapremmo cosa altro dire per esaltare tutte le qualità di questo indimenticabile soggiorno, possiamo solo ringraziare il sig. Giuseppe e Rita e iniziare a pensare quando ritornare... grazie ancora - 26 Jun 2018


Il Proprietario Giuseppe e la sua famiglia sono stati molto ospitali e attenti alle ns esigenze. Molto cortese anche il personale.
A pochi metri dal mare ideale per famiglie con bambini. I miei piccoli lo adoravano. Terrazzo molto spazioso dove abbiamo cenato ammirando il bellissimo panorama.
Ho soggiornato in vari comuni di quest'isola molto spesso, ma questo Residence con la sua storia e Sant'Angelo sono uno dei più bei posti da visitare.
Ci ritorneremo senz'altro anche in altri periodi dell'anno. - 16 Oct 2017



There's a stunning view from Galatea of the sea, which you can see as soon as you open the door. The apartment is in a building that you reach through a private Gate & lovely gardens with cactus and pretty flowers.
The apartment is nice with good size bedrooms. And a freestanding bath in the bedroom which is unusual & luxurious.
There's a lovely terrace where you can look at the sea & watch the sun go down.
The only drawback is the kitchen which is tiny. It's difficult to cook in as its so small, and it needs to be a bit better equipped - we cooked on the 2nd night & we couldn't find a few things such as cheese grater, Chopping board, colander, wooden spoon & cafetière. The lady that managed the property was super helpful & helped us book a hire car. We asked for the kitchen equipment that was missing & she bought it the next day.
However the dishwasher was broken so we had to wash up.
There were no recycle bins which was a shame.
The apartment was a good size and the bedroom our daughter slept in was great for a child or a couple - the bed was actually more comfy than our bed which was pretty hard & could do with a mattress topper to make it a bit softer.
we didn't meet the owner but he was helpful before our stay when he Offered to organise a taxi to meet us from our boat.
It was a perfect location, close to beautiful gardens & thermal spas as well as the beach.
There were no pictures or decoration in the flat which made it feel quite monastic, so personally I feel like it could do with a few pictures on the walls, but we enjoyed our stay there apart from the hard bed! It was very clean and a quiet spot, with a stunning view and pretty gardens. - 06 May 2016

The place, the verandas, the view, the location, the hosts...all perfect. We stayed with our two girls (10 & 14) and had relaxing few days enjoying the very close San Francesco beach and restaurants. We only left the area once to try the world famous Poseidon mineral pools. The hosts were fantastic, helpful and accommodating. - 23 Jun 2015

Francesca is responsive and helpful. Someone (Rita) picked us at the port when we arrived and really helped us throughout our stay (for example to rent a car) we could really contact her whenever we wanted.
As Forio is about 25 minutes away by walking, it may be useful to rent a car (it is possible to park it next to the apartment). - 12 Jul 2014
