Arrival on the Island

Nestled at the Po di Goro's estuary in the Parco Naturale del Delta del Po, the Isola dell'Amore is a dynamic sandbar shaped by tides and winds, forming dunes, beaches, and lagoons rich in biodiversity. The Faro di Goro, a 22-meter cylindrical tower built in 1950 to replace an older lantern, stands as the island's sole landmark, guiding navigators while hosting visitors.

The Lighthouse and Its Transformation

Originally a navigational aid, the lighthouse was recently renovated under Italy's Valore Paese initiative for tourism. Today, it houses a restaurant, bar, and five cozy double rooms with private bathrooms, offering year-round stays in this remote, enchanting spot. The structure retains its functional light with an 18-kilometer beam, blending maritime history with hospitality.

Cuisine of the Delta

The restaurant specializes in kilometer-zero seafood, featuring crudo di pesce, risotti with local clams and eel, and fresh catches from the Adriatic. Traditional recipes shine through simple, home-style preparations, served in an elegant indoor sala or outdoor terrace overlooking the delta. Meat and vegetarian options complement the menu, with takeout available for beach picnics.

Nature and Romance

Surrounded by the Riserva Naturale delle Dune e Isole della Sacca di Goro, the island invites barefoot walks along shifting sands, birdwatching in canneti, and sunset gazing that inspired its romantic name. It's a haven for nature lovers, free of paths to preserve its wild essence, perfect for quiet escapes or scenic boat arrivals.

Practical Stays

Five matrimonial rooms provide comfortable lodging amid the tranquility, ideal for overnight immersion. The venue operates daily, welcoming day trippers and romantics alike to explore the Delta's fringes where river meets sea.
