Beautiful views of Formia and Gaeta

We enjoyed our stay at ll Casale. The views are amazing. We enjoyed our time in the pool and bbq ing in the evening. Paola was very helpful and friendly. We used the local shops at Piazza S Erasmo below the villa, the meat from the butcher Macelleria Davide was excellent and ate at Il Tempo Ritrovato in the square. You do need a car, but we did walk down and back to the square and Formia using the steep path outside villa. Ideal place for visiting Pompeii we caught the train there and also the bus to Gaeta. Would highly recommend Il Casale.

Stay in Formia

This was a wonderful spot, up above the town and away from the hustle and bustle of the town but a very short drive to the town got you all the amenities you could need. Also relatively convenient to both Naples and Rome. The host, Paola, was so kind and accommodating and was really concerned about us enjoying our stay.The one thing that could have been better was having A/C in the living area so we didn't have to open doors and let the mosquitoes in, which were always quite hungry. It's for that reason only that I couldn't give the stay 5 stars. Even still, I would book again, but would be better prepared for the mosquitoes. (We don't like using toxic bug sprays so I would have brought some things from home that are non-toxic and effective at keeping the bugs away.)We were there for 12 nights and it was beginning to feel like home. We were so sad to leave! I hope we can come back one day!

Beautiful home

We were a group of 7 adults (30s-60s) spending 2 weeks in Italy. This house is beautiful and the view is everything you see in the pictures posted. Paola was very helpful in helping us arrange transportation from the train station. You definitely need a car to access the home and to get around. This rental provided our group with the all the space we needed.

We made wonderful memories at the Casale. The place is huge with spacious dining, living room and outdoor space and swimming pool. The view is stunning. Close to Formia snd Gaeta beaches, boat tour of the area was beautiful. Restaurants and good pizza places. The kids had super time doing night swims at the pool. We give this place an A+

Oh, the views!

This is one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen. The house is large and comfortable. But the yard with its breathtaking view of the sea is the best. I wanted to spend as much time as I could outside just so I could see that view. The pool is lovely and adds another nice thing to do outside. The kitchen is large with a full sized fridge and stove, as well as an oven and a dishwasher. That made it easy to cook what we bought at the market. Paola checked in on us to answer questions and suggest places to go in the area, so we had good "insider" information for our planning. The drive up and down the hill takes concentration for someone who isn't a local driver, but it's worth it to explore the town of Formia and its beaches. When we wanted a change, we did the same things in the nearby town of Gaeta. The train station is a short drive from the house and it's easy to get a train into Naples for the day. In short, the house is great, the area offers lots to do, and the views are memorable. You'll find lots to like here!

Beautiful, Picturesque, Proper Italian Villa

We had a magnificent stay at Paola's villa, she is a great host and very happy to help you out. What stunning views from the villa over Gaeta and Formia, the pictures dont do it justice. All I can say is book before its booked out and spend your days relaxing with that view!!

Lovely house for a family stay

We stayed in this house late April for 4 nights and had great time. Paola is a wonderful host who made us very welcome and helped us with everything we needed. As we were traveling with our 1,5 year old son she arranged a baby cot and a high chair. The house has a nice small garden facing the ocean and the views are magnificent. The house is quite high up the mountains, though not far from the city center and beach. You could easily walk the distance (approx 2km), but the mountain is steep so consider the walk back home as a training. We didn't take the walk as it would have been to much effort to push the baby carriage up the mountain,. Nevertheless I took a run up the mountain and it was good training.

A palace in the hills of Formia

The photographs of Il Casale do not begin to do justice to the most incredible view and grand palatial feel of the property. It was the perfect base to explore but there was a lot to see locally should you wish to stay put. I loved the cook’s kitchen with its wealth of pots, pans, coffee makers and recipe books. My wife loved the veranda at night with the twinkling lights of the bay and a good book. Thank you Paula and Francesco for your friendship, advice and great linguistic skills! We really hope to see you again.

Erholung pur mit fantastischem Ausblick

Ein wundervoller Ort, um sich zu erholen. Das große, sehr persönlich eingerichtete Haus bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Paola ist eine sehr hilfsbereite und freundliche Gastgeberin, die uns auch immer wieder verwöhnt hat (frischen Büffelmozarella und Wein zur Begrüßung) und Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben hat. Ganz großartig ist der einzigartige Blick auf die Bucht von Gaeta. Herrliche Sandstrände in Formia und Gaeta sind mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen. Wir können die Villa ohne Einschränkung sehr empfehlen!

Fantastisch familiehuis met uitzicht. Genieten op z'n Italiaans!

Ruim en sfeervol ingericht, met grote keuken met alle benodigde apparatuur. Fijne tuin met uitzicht over de baai. Steil pad omhoog, wel echt auto nodig. Paola was erg aardig, gaf goede tips om te gaan doen in de omgeving (Sperlonga, Gaeta, etc).

Ferieboligen er helt unik med masser af sjæl. Udsigten er fantastisk. Strandene er dejlige:-)

Vi kan kun anbefale andre at opleve at bo i dette unikke hus med en fantastisk udsigt. Alt i huset har været ud fra en høj standard. Ligeledes har området været spændende at udforske, ikke mindst har vi haft mulighed for at komme tæt på at se hvordan italienerne lever og oplevet deres kultur, da området ikke er præget af turisme. Bil er en nødvendighed, på grund af husets beliggenhed. Udlejerne har været sød og behjælpsom og har gerne delt ud af tips og gode råd Vi kommer gerne igen:-)

Confort, accueil chaleureux et vue exceptionnelle sur Formia et Gaete

Nous avons passé un beau séjour dans cette maison confortable et très belle. L accueil est chaleureux et Anna Paola est très gentille. A côté des commerces et des sites merveilleux à visiter car cette maison est située entre Rome et Naples. Aussi un bel endroit pour se reposer face à la mer et déguster les spécialités de Formia.
