Antica Villa Gaeta

Review by hotel critic

During my recent week-long stay, I was truly delighted by how this hotel exceeded my high expectations for a beach vacation. The exceptional attention to detail was evident from the moment we arrived; the reception staff were incredibly welcoming, ensuring a swift check-in as we battled the heat. Our room provided a stunning view of the ocean, where I enjoyed waking up to the soothing sound of waves and the breathtaking colors of sunrise, all complemented by a comfortable bed and modern amenities like free Wi-Fi and a mini-bar. The hotel also impressed me with its commitment to pet-friendly practices, allowing us to bring our cat, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I was particularly thrilled by the inclusive package that provided sunbeds, umbrellas, and access to clean beach showers, all just steps from the private beach. The beach party we attended featured live music and a seafood menu that was both delicious and reasonably priced, perfectly encapsulating the local flavor. Lastly, the proximity to the city center—just a 20-minute walk—allowed us to explore at our leisure while savoring authentic local cuisine along the way. This hotel truly made for one of my best weekends just a two-hour drive from Rome!
