Hotel Mongibello doesn’t just look like a film set: for one night each month, it becomes one. Movieland is a chance to sink into a deckchair, sip something chilled and watch a classic movie as the stars come out overhead and the sea hums in the distance. Think garden party meets vintage cinema, with that unmistakable Hotel Mongibello Italian glamour woven through it all.
Arrive salty from the beach, plonk down on one of the plush sunbeds, order your cocktail and let the screen transport you somewhere (else) beautiful. The films change each month, but the mood stays the same: alfresco summer magic, with a cinematic Hotel Mongibello twist. On Thursday June 26, 2025, the screening (in English, with Spanish subtitles) is the 2017 contemporary cinema gem, Call Me By Your Name, directed byLuca Guadagnino and starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer – set in Italy, it’s the perfect flick to connect with your sense of la dolce vita.
