LENOLA
A nice little town up in the mountains near Fondi. A centre for ecological agriculture. Nice view over the valley.
If you look from the east coast of Terracina towards the south you cannot miss Sperlonga, impalpable and snow–white, sitting on a promontory overlooking the sea.
The Romans were the first to discover this marvellous spot, attracted by its beauty and pleasant climate. Those who built splendid pompous villas was the famous Emperor Tiberius.
You must visit the Archaeological Museum in the impressive villa with its large cave, where you can see marble statues and mosaics honouring the exploits of Odysseus, an emblem of rare artistic expression.
A visit to the historic centre at the top of the town is obligatory, where you can wander through the side-streets , along the many stairways and past the characteristic shops where you can buy lovely souvenirs of your holiday by the sea.
Why not stop for a rest and eat a well-earned ice-cream at one of the famous bars in the “piazzetta” and then continue wandering up and down through the alley ways to discover the wonderful views of the bay and immortalise them with a photograph.
The time has come to leave this enchanted rock, but not before deviating by car along the panoramic road towards Itri , entirely dug out from the rock with a sheer drop to the sea.
The explosion of colours, sounds and perfumes of nature will leave their imprint on your mind and heart forever as a reminder of these hours spent in Sperlonga.

The magnificent monastery of Saint Benedectine high up on a mountain above the city of Cassino. A very beautiful view over the area. Has been destroyed several times, but has always been rebuilt. The last time after world war II when the monastery was heavily bombed by the allies.
(Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone, Ventotene and San Stefano). Very popular because of the lovely nature and crystal clear water. As beautiful as Capri, but not that many tourists. Very good for scubadiving. Daily connection with boat from Terracina to Ponza, the biggest island.
