Sperlonga is a captivating coastal gem located just an hour and a half from Rome, on the way to Naples, where history meets the beauty of the Mediterranean. The atmosphere here is quintessentially southern Italian—relaxed, charming, and inviting, making it the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat by the sea. On this unforgettable day trip, we’ll step back in time to explore the ancient Villa of Tiberius, a magnificent Roman retreat that once served as Emperor Tiberius's private sanctuary. Wander through its historical ruins, soaking in the incredible views of the coast that once inspired the emperor himself. After immersing ourselves in the rich history, we’ll unwind at the exclusive Beach Club Tiberio, just a stone’s throw from the site. Here, you can relax under the sun, bask in the Mediterranean vibes, and savor the ultimate seaside escape. As the day winds down, we’ll witness the breathtaking sunset over the sea, watching the golden light spread across the whitewashed village of Sperlonga.
