Stunning views and relaxation - but do take note!
This standout experience staying here is the view. The views from this villa are stunning, it’s placement on the mountains south of Sperlonga is just perfect, you really couldn’t ask for more. We stayed here in July 2022 as a family of 5, including a toddler.
The house is very roomy and split over levels so we had plenty of space. The house is not modern and trendy, but it has character and well equipped. The pool is a real treat and a lovely way to cool off on a hot day - it’s a salt water pool, but there is even an outdoor shower to freshen up and plenty of loungers. My sons loved playing and swimming in it, whilst myself and mother-in-law enjoyed relaxing in the whirlpool section at the top.
The house is at the end of a private road and is very rural - a word of advice is to stay on the paved tracks and listen to the hosts directions! Google maps nearly had us driving very abruptly down a mountain, so take care!
Due to the position and layout of the house, this place would not suit the elderly or anyone who may struggle with stairs or heights.
The nearest beach is a 15 minute drive down the mountain, although you can see them from the lookout point next to the house. Our favourite beach was Bazzuna closest to the house. For a short drive further up the coast, we also really enjoyed Terracina.
The only downside of this house is the mosquitos! It is in the countryside, so be prepared for LOTS of mosquitos and ants about. I ended up having to wear jungle strength repellent but even then got attacked. Put me off being outside although my eldest sons still braved it alongside some citronella incense sticks to play some table tennis, table football and darts on the top deck.
I’m summary, we could have easily stayed longer and all very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of a Italy. Just bring the mosquito spray and stay off the gravel roads! :)
