Ciao,
We have been living in Italy for more than 3 years now.
The place we chose to call our new home is ITRI - a sweet little town, nestling in the foothills of the Aurunci Mountains, an ancient staging post along the Roman Via Appia.
Our Home is a farmhouse or casale on the outskirts of Itri and is set amidst the greenery of our own olive groves, in a quiet, unspoilt valley with mountains views, and a glimpse of the sea. Each morning, when I wake up I have to pinch myself to check that I am not still dreaming. We are indeed so very fortunate to live here.
I am passionate about this region of SOUTH LAZIO, it is so rich in natural beauty, history and culture and is noted for its temperate climate, and rainless summers.
It is blessed with the best of both worlds :
The beautiful coastline of the Riviera Di Ulisse, and Gulf of Gaeta
with its numerous golden sandy beaches, rocky coves, hidden caves and sheltered harbours,
and the pretty seaside resorts of Sperlonga, Gaeta, Formia and Terracina.
Yet close by are the dramatic mountains of the Aurunci Regional Park, the Ausoni Mountains, the Lepini Mountains and further inland Le Mainarde Mountains,
with their verdant hillsides, olive groves, lakes and protected nature reserves.
This is “Real Italy” !!!
I would like to share my knowledge of this beautiful region with you.
