History

The Ring Hostel is located in a large house in the historic centre of Forio that was originally a 16th Century Monastery used by Saint Francis Monks (Frati Francescani).

The entrance and some of the older rooms feature the typical Ischian curved ceilings used in the architecture of the period.

The house was bought by the Colella family some 100 years ago and is the home where Papa Salatore and his four brothers and sisters were raised. After marrying Tina, they then raised their three sons: Gisueppe, Amerigo and Lorenzo in the family home.

Fifteen years ago, the family hosted a religious group and realised the need for a budget hostel. From this the Ring Hostel was created.
