Location & what to see

Caieta: la casa nella roccia is located in the historic centre of Gaeta, on Via Sant’Agostino, in a building that literally makes use of the rock on which this part of the town is built. The area retains the typical character of the seafaring town, with narrow alleys, staircases and sudden views over the gulf, just steps from bars and restaurants frequented mainly by those seeking an authentic atmosphere away from the more touristy areas of the coast.

Serapo Beach can be reached in about 2 km, while Vindicio Beach is 2.1 km away; for those arriving by train, Formia Railway Station is 4.8 km away and Itri Railway Station is 5 km away. Naples Capodichino Airport, the most convenient for those arriving by plane, is about 70 km away. In the immediate surroundings there are also several venues, such as the Pablito restaurant 200 metres away and Il Nostromo 350 metres away, convenient for dinner without needing a car.

In summer, the area is well-suited to days at the beach between Serapo and Vindicio, while in the cooler months it’s worth spending time on walks in Monte Orlando Urban Regional Park, 2.5 km away, and visiting the Sanctuary of the Montagna Spaccata, set into the rock a short distance from the centre. The Serapo Garden and historic sites such as the Archbishop’s Palace complete a cultural and natural offering suitable for those who want to alternate between the sea and exploring the area in every season of the year.

Pablito — restaurant just steps from the property, convenient for a casual dinner 200 m
Il Nostromo — venue in the historic centre appreciated for its fresh fish dishes 350 m
Serapo Beach — wide sandy beach among the most popular in the Gulf of Gaeta 2 km
Monte Orlando Urban Regional Park — panoramic green area with trails and views over the gulf 2.5 km
Sanctuary of the Montagna Spaccata — historic sanctuary carved into the rock with sea views 3.2 km
