Sperlonga
Sperlonga is a beautiful blue-flag beach along the Tyrrhenian coast with crystal clear waters and golden sands. This charming seaside town is more than stunning coastal scenery; it’s also steeped in Roman history.
The Villa of Tiberius was an ancient Roman villa that belonged to Emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 to 37 AD. The villa’s most famous feature is The Grotto of Tiberius. This natural cave was transformed into an elaborate dining area and decorated with impressive sculptures depicting scenes from Homer’s “Odyssey,” which are now displayed in a museum.
While Sperlonga is relatively well-known among Italians and those familiar with the Lazio region, it remains something of a hidden gem for many international tourists. This blend of popularity and seclusion offers a perfect balance: lively enough to provide all the amenities and charm you need, yet tranquil enough to offer a serene escape from the crowds.
Getting to Sperlonga from Rome is a breeze. Hop on a train at Roma Termini, and in about 1-1.5 hours, you’ll arrive at the Fondi-Sperlonga station. From there, a short bus ride will whisk you away to the heart of this coastal paradise.

Capalbio
Capalbio is a hidden treasure in the heart of Tuscany known for its unspoiled natural beauty. Capalbio offers a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist hotspots. The long stretches of sandy beaches and lush Mediterranean vegetation are the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day by the sea.
The medieval village of Capalbio is perched on a hilltop. It has narrow cobblestone streets, ancient stone buildings, and a well-preserved city wall that offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
You can visit the 12th-century Church of San Nicola to admire the Renaissance-era Palazzo Collacchioni or the nearby Tarot Garden, an artistic park filled with colorful sculptures created by renowned artist Niki de Saint Phalle.
Despite its undeniable charm, Capalbio remains a hidden gem, relatively untouched by mass tourism. The town’s off-the-beaten-path nature adds to the appeal, allowing visitors to enjoy an authentic and intimate Tuscan experience.
Reaching Capalbio from Rome is convenient, though it requires a combination of train and bus travel. Going from the Roma Termini to Capalbio station typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you arrive at the station, a short bus or taxi ride will take you to the beach.
