Il Girasole

Il Girasole is a 2-star hotel along the via Pontina in Terracina, a few kilometres from the beaches of the Pontine coast and the Circeo National Park. The property is entirely non-smoking and caters to those looking for a practical base to explore the coast and the Lazio hinterland, moving mainly by car given the absence of direct public transport connections.

The rooms, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and desk, range from single to quadruple, suiting solo travellers, couples and small family groups. Several room types feature a balcony and minibar, while the common areas include a restaurant, a bar and a free bicycle rental service, handy for reaching the sea or the historic centre.

Breakfast, served in Italian or à la carte style, opens the day before heading out to visit the sights: the Temple of Jupiter Anxur is about 8 km away, while the Circeo National Park is around fifteen minutes by car. Guest reviews particularly praise the cleanliness, staff and value for money of the property.

Location & what to see

Il Girasole is located along the via Pontina, at the entrance to Terracina, in an area designed for those who move around mainly by car and want the coast within easy reach. The restaurant Il Pirata is just 50 metres away, while a McDonald’s and several other venues are within 400 metres, convenient for meals without having to plan long trips.

The nearest beach, Baia Verde Beach, is about 2.6 km away, followed by Lido La Lanterna at 3 km: both easily reachable using the free bicycles provided by the property. The nearest railway station, La Fiora, is about 5 km away, while Rome Ciampino Airport is 74 km away. Terracina’s historic centre, with the Temple of Jupiter Anxur, can be reached in a few minutes by car, about 5.5 km from the hotel.

Guests staying at Il Girasole also have good reasons to venture towards the Circeo National Park, about 7 km away, an ideal destination for excursions in the Mediterranean scrub in spring and autumn, or for days at the beach in summer along the Pontine coast. In winter the coastline is well suited to long walks, while all year round the Temple of Jupiter Anxur, on Monte Sant’Angelo, offers one of the best-known views in the area over the Gulf of Gaeta.
