Although we had been to Italy several times, we had never visited the area south of Rome…Lazio. We were expecting the coastline to be beautiful, but were totally taken by surprise when we saw the mountain ranges that form the hinterland in this region. As we travelled along the SS7, the Via Appia, we wound our way among the foothills, and were able to glimpse the higher mass of the mountains beyond.
Tre Cancelle was much more than we could have hoped for: a lovely apartment and a warm welcome from Paul and Louise, our very considerate hosts, for whom nothing was too much trouble!
The area around Itri is full of such unexpected delights. The town itself is lively and bustling, has all the practical shops one might need, and boasts a dramatic castle perched on a rocky cliff.
We loved the road that leads from Itri towards the coastal resort of Sperlonga, and the views that you are rewarded with as you reach this little town. In Autumn, Sperlonga was sleepy, but still bathed in sunshine and boasting a long, unspoilt, sandy beach that enticed us into its warm waters. We returned many times, and often had the beach almost to ourselves.
Being located halfway between Rome and Naples, staying at Tre Cancelle allowed us to visit both, and to enjoy some the many historical treasures they have to offer. Herculaneum was amazing, and I had to be dragged away! Rome was awesome; the Colosseum and the Forum immersed us in its past, and we’ll just have to return to see more.
Nearer to ‘home’, we enjoyed discovering Cassino with its panoramic views and wartime connections, eating freshly-cooked fish at the harbourside in Terracina, and taking an evening stroll around the port of Gaeta.
Thank you, Tre Cancelle, for a memorable holiday and an introduction to a beautiful part of Italy!
