We had a wonderfully relaxed stay at this lovely house. On arrival we were very fondly greeted by Luciana and her lovely daughter Eleonora who speaks excellent English and were given a full review of the house to ensure that our stay would be problem free. Make no mistake, this is no ordinary rental property, rather, this is very much a family home and this shows in the well furnished and extremely clean, comfortably appointed nature of the house with many personal touches from Luciana (and Eleonora).
It's location is remote and a car is essential. The high position affords fabulous views especially from the bedrooms and the rural area ensures peace and quiet. We breakfasted in outside in the early morning sun and often lunched in the sun too, before a sleepy siesta in the afternoon. The kitchen is relatively new and is very well quipped and enabled us to prepare and cook a great many meals. Sperlonga is about 10 minutes drive and, with the tourist season not yet in full flow (mid-May), we found it to be a wonderfully peaceful place to visit, relaxing strolls along the beach and you can take a coffee or dine out with ease. Not so sure, Sperlonga would be our cup of tea in the busy high season, as the village is small and though the beach is quite long, it is quite narrow, so one can imagine the affect of the thousands who flock here over the summer. But you can easily escape the crowds and enjoy your peace and quiet in this house. Sperlonga is also the nearest place to shop for provisions with a supermarket, good butcher and various stores selling vegetables. One point worth clarifying, the house is not "detached" in the UK meaning of the word. It is semi-detached and shares one party wall connecting it to a matching property next door but no facilities are shared e.g have your own drive, garden etc. The house next door was not occupied for our stay and lent to the peace and quiet.
Having stayed at a great many holiday properties over a great many years, this ranks as the best and is strongly recommended.
