If you are looking for the ideal spot to experience an Italian home away from home, this is the place. Our holiday included 10 people from Colorado, USA. The grounds were immaculately maintained by the resident caretaker, appropriately named Santa. Both he and the owner (Paola) made certain we had everything we needed, including rental bikes to get to the beach, kayaks for lake excursions and firewood for evening barbecues. Every bedroom has a modern private bath with linens. The top bedroom upstairs has three twin beds that are perfect for elementary age children/teens. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary items we needed to feed our crew.
The national park of Circeo is an ideal place for hiking, boating, fishing and relaxing on the beach. The nearby town of Circeo has charming restaurants and great shopping. Sabaudia is the perfect small town for groceries, wine and other daily needs. We were within a half hour drive of the train (Priverno Fossanova) for day trips to Rome and an hour drive from the small "Roman Riviera" towns of Gaeta, Formia and Sperlonga. You will need a car, especially for trips to Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Sorrento. If you go, this is what you will need to ask for: extra towels and linens because the weather is humid; bike rentals (ask the owner) and boat rentals and local tours (Giovanni at WaterlifeSaubadia@gmail.com).
If you are looking for the type of vacation that gives you a taste of real life in Italy (not the tourist version), don't hesitate to book this home for a group holiday, small wedding or milestone event.
