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.
