Panorama of Sperlonga with the old town and beaches

In short

  • First visit, couples: the old town or lower town, near Levante beach.

  • Budget and quiet: the Salette area, towards Terracina.
  • Sea and nature, by car: the Via Flacca, towards Tiberius's Grotto and Gaeta.

Old town and lower town

The village and the streets below the headland · everything on foot

Staying in the old town means white alleys, sea-view terraces and dinners in the piazza without ever using the car. Levante beach is a few minutes' walk away. The village is pedestrian and full of steps: easy with a backpack, hard work with suitcases. At the foot of the headland, in the lower town, there are larger hotels with parking and pools, close to both the sea and the centre.

  • June and September: warm sea, fewer crowds and more choice. The best time.
  • Off season: many seafront hotels close in winter. Check opening dates.

Practical tips

  • Luggage: the old town is reached on foot, with steps and slopes. Pack light.
  • Beach clubs: many seafront hotels partner with a beach club. Ask whether umbrella and loungers are included.
  • Day trips: boats leave Sperlonga for the coves and Ponza. See also our guide to Sperlonga beaches.
