GAETA

Gaeta, south of Rome, is built on a peninsula jutting into the gulf of the Mediterranean Sea. 

Our Villa located on the top of the steep and rocky Monte Orlando, overlooks the old town of Gaeta and is surrounded by the sea.  It is a short walk for visiting the medieval town, the port, and Mount Orlando with the impressive funeral tomb of the Roman general Lucio Munazio Planco (1st Century B.C.)

Accommodations and Facilities

Everyone stays at the Villa, surrounded by a Mediterranean garden full of aromatic bushes, lemon, lime and hibiscus trees. Private bedrooms with baths face the ocean.  There is an enormous living room, several smaller sitting rooms and a full size kitchen with a balcony overlooking the old town and sea for dining in the evening.

Christina, our cook, using fresh organic vegetables from the Villa’s garden, lovingly prepares and serves breakfast and a delicious lunch al fresco each day.  In the evening, students may choose to walk into town for a light meal, pizza or gelato and on other occasions one or more in the group will prepare supper for all who are interested. 

There are many places on the grounds of the Villa where one can paint, find solitude and enjoy the beauty of the immediate surroundings, the town in the distance and the sea.
