One of the most beautiful villages in Italy lies right in the middle between the two big towns and only 120 kilometers from each.
Just a day trip from Rome or Naples.
It is very easy to make a little detour along the coast, slow down for a while, make a food and wine experience or take a baking class, visit local farms, enjoy breathtaking views and a crystal clear sea.
Venice, Florence, Rome (here’s a very good guide in Rome), Naples are italian big amazing cities, full of wonderful things to do and see. But life as a tourist in Italy can be really exhausting!
That’s why you should include a little break on your trip.
Plan your day trip from Rome!
You can visit Sperlonga all year round. Every season has its own charme: the village lives solitary winters and busy summers.
Summer can be very hot, as well as in Rome, but you can always cool down in the sea, in the shadow of a cork forest, or in the vineyards. In July and August, actually, when italians have their holidays, Sperlonga is really crowded. This is however the perfect season to enjoy beach and sea activities.
Winter is never so cold. Sometimes happens that you wear a t-shirt even in December or January if the midday sun is shining. During this season there’s little tourism in Sperlonga and parkings are free. You would definitely appreciate the silence of the white alleys over the blue sea and enjoy all the beauty of a winter seaside tiny village without any trouble.
The best time to visit Sperlonga however is the mid-season.
With good chance you’ll find good weather and nice temperatures, even go to the beach from april till november. And no crowd!
Sperlonga is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. You can visit the old town, the villa of the Emperor Tiberius and enjoy a swim in a wonderful sea. Likewise the Costiera Amalfitana it has both mountains and sea, it’s rich in history and old local traditions.
But don’t miss tastings: there’s a very high local quality food and wines.
The best thing you could do is to plan a trip to Sperlonga and book a tour with a local guide.
You can choose among our tours here or ask for a tailor made tour: among farms, wineries, mozzarella cheese, sausages, wines, olive oil, fish and more.

We extremely enjoyed a toured Monti Cecubi in Itri viewing the winery and learning fascinating local history. Our guide Irene, Sarah and Pietro were wonderful. We had a... read more family of five and several others were in our group. We started the morning off with a lovely hike through the trails near the winery and learned of the local olive trees, birds and cork trees. The sights were stunning of the surrounding area of Itri, Formia, and Gaeta in the distance. We visited the vineyard area and learned how the grape vines grow and are planted along side other plants for nutrients. We visited the inside of the winery and learned how the grapes were pressed and turned into wine. My boys thought the giant wine barrels and bottling machine where really cool! The day was complete when we were able to sit at a gorgeous lava stone table overlooking the vineyard and enjoyed a delicious meal which included fresh local grilled meat, vegetables, potatoes and YES... THE AMAZING Cecubi Wine. There are several different varieties of the wine and our guide was very knowledgeable about how each one was made and which foods to pair it with. You are able to purchase bottles of wine there on sight and we made sure to take advantage of this opportunity. We had the lovely surprise of enjoying local chocolates handmade in Itri brought in to be paired with our dessert wine. I highly recommend this specific tour and this tour group. They have several other tours in the area and we are already planning to sign up and tour with them again. The combination of history, nature, delicious food, wine and the professionalism and kindness of your guide make for a FANTASTIC DAY! I can't wait to book another outing. If you are curious this tour can be customized for the enjoyment of larger groups, small groups, couples, and families with children of all ages. We were completely impressed and delighted. …
