We stayed at the house with our children (two girls, 12yo and 14yo and a baby). The owners were very friendly from the beginning to the end, offered help and gave us food from the garden. They live in another house on the same ground which is protected by large fences and a large gate. They were present when we needed them and left us alone when we preferred to be on our own.

The house is very cosy with three terraces to all directions. You can see the sea from one terrace and the mountains on the other side. The garden is maintained with love - a lot of different plants from olive trees to cactuses grow there. At the end of October, we were happe to have two days warm enough to use the great pool. The pool is not only a little tank but a real brick built swimming pool with a deeper side and a shallow side for kids.

The house has a living room with a chimney and a veranda (with a bed) and two bed rooms. There are three bath rooms with toilets and showers. We went to a local supermarket regularly and cooked dinner in the house several times. The cooking basics like pepper, sugar, salt and oil were present as was the most important kitchenware. The WIFI was working well.

The area around the house is beautiful. We went hiking and climbing, met wild horses on the mountains around Formia and went swimming in the sea. It is also possible to reach Rome and Naples in a good hour by train. Formia has a lot of restaurants over the whole price range and we successfully tried some of them.

We will come back!
