Lake Sabaudia, within the National Park of Circeo and flowing directly into the sea, is a place where the expression, “immersed in nature” has a profound significance. Here the main attraction is Nature itself which once you arrive slowly takes over. San Francesco charming Hotel is situated on the shore: a whitemodern building whose imaginary appearance is that of a ship ready to set sail to the winds, but that, in reality, is anchored to the calm of the large garden facing the lake and where, moving in the wind, are only the numerous drapes framing the façade. From the privileged views of the hotel, the protagonist is the lake itself, with the numerous villas appearing alongthe shores, while right in front of the San Francesco hotel is the small but evocative Sanctuary of the XII century, S. Maria of the Sorresca. The story goes that this is the actual spot where fishermen had placed the statue of the Mother and Child “fished” from the lake, where now, the little church (almost entirely rebuilt) shows few traces of ancian medieval character. A touringboat offers visitors the possibility of taking a cruise along the curved borders of the lake. This is an experience to savour at The San Francesco, located only 500 meters from a private beach and sea, just over an hour from Rome and an hour and a half from the jet boats to Ponza Island from S. Felice Circeo.

The San Francesco is a historic hotel in Sabaudia, the garden is very beautiful and well-kept, the reception area is too crowded. The staff are kind and professional. Unfortunately the only flaw is the room. Very small and old bathroom, rusty towel warmer. A coat of white paint does little to hide a room with old and slightly shabby furniture. The general feeling is that the hotel now needs a renovation that is perhaps a little too late.

Three days in a group at this hotel. Really great reception, great helpfulness of the staff. Structure in a position of excellence and well cared for. Very good dinner, tasty and well prepared dishes with obvious quality raw materials. Wonderful park where you can enjoy an aperitif is a real treat. Two sore notes only, charge water in the minibar given the cost of the rooms, charge a Cocacola for dinner to those who have not drunk the wine included in the menu. Small things that any smaller and less expensive structure would have taken better care of (as in fact has always happened to me).

very nice and relaxing hotel I was impressed with this hotel. Clean, beautiful, panoramic and with details that warm the heart. A pearl on the shores of Lake Paola. One step away from the sea, which can also be reached on foot. Very helpful staff

4-star hotel from 230€ per night, in the bathroom a sad bathtub with a dangling wire to take a shower, all very uncomfortable and dangerous. Breakfast with many products but all without description. Structure not adequate to 4 stars!

Bad, service below expectations, obvious mistakes by the management. Except for the very nice waiters. Used to 5-star service, I rate this 1 star. I'll never set foot there again. Nothing has been done to recover an embarrassing situation

Spacious and clean rooms. A little dated, I would replace the old bathtub with a modern shower. Wonderful garden, good location also considering the shuttle to the nearby beach. Excellent breakfast

Amazing place to stay on a calm village, nice views and gentile people. The hotel is beautiful, they have rooms to attend some work meetings, and the garden is perfect to do afterwork. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner were tasty! Thanks for these good days!

The hotel is near beach (but requires a car to safely reach it) and at a lake. Note that a dirt road pocketed with holes leads to the hotel, it can be hard to find.

Initially it was a very restful environment, with excellent care by the staff. Promised excursions were however not available (later it became clear these excursions could never have been provided: the respective locations were closed in the period they were planned for). Poor downgraded local alternatives were given as only option.

After a walk on the beach we entered the hotel and immediately got yelled at because of the sand we brought in by the owneres, who apparently thought it was normal for such a hotel to yell at their guests instead of respectfully solving a situation. Normal conversation did not seem possible and threats of calling the police and throwing us out on New Years eve were made, utterly destroying the relaxation beforehand by .

In all my years I have never ever been treated so poorly at any hotel, let alone one of this purported comfort class. And this from the owner and her management staff!
It is a pity, the general staff was very cordial and made us feel at home a lot. Still the unacceptable behaviour of the management overshadows this all.
Hence my advice: avoid this hotel

Very nice location overlooking the lake, 400 m away from the beach.
Hotel just opened (april 2007), everything is new and clean.
Rooms vary in size and view (ours was not so big, but we saw others much bigger). Nice furniture.
Wonderful garden, very well furnished, ideal for relaxing and reading.
Restaurant: overall decent quality, but definitely not 4 star service (slow, at dinner it took them more than an hour to serve us a plate of pasta and a steak. Furthermore, they asked us whether they could "offer" us an aperitif: we accepted only to find it in the check... At breakfast they run out of clean glasses and plates AND we had to tell them).
Staff: people are very nice and always smiling, but seem a bit inexperienced and not always able to find a solution/answer.
Beach service: the hotel has a deal with a nearby beach club by which its guests have admission and transportation to and from it. The price of this is included in the price of the room.

Overall a nice experience, not 4 stars.
