San Felice Circeo - Do like the Romans do! [STREET VIEW]

Do like the Romans do and take a break at San Felice Circeo! Many Romans have property in San Felice as it is about one and a half hours drive south from Rome, convenient and beautiful. On the cliff of San Felice, which is a national park, there are several splendid view points, both towards south overlooking the bay leading to Terracina and towards north – over the Sabaudia lagoon.

To tell the truth, there is slight feeling that the lovely coast town of San Felice Circeo is a bit beyond its prime. Breathing in the atmosphere, it felt as if 25 years ago it must have been associated with status, with glam and it definitely still has a good spirit to it, but it also feels a bit tired. The antique part of the city uphill offers a calm lovely atmosphere and good food.

San Felice is a bit in between two worlds, as we experienced it when we explored the coastal area driving south from Rome. Apart from the impressive lagoon of Sabaudia, in our personal opinion - between Rome and San Felix Circeo there is not much along the coast side worthwhile in terms of beauty.

Big parts in-between are former marshlands turned into rural areas somewhat 80-90 years ago, with little to offer in sight visiting and architecture. Here I have to make a major exception for Giardino di Ninfa (The Gardens of Ninfa), which is beautiful as a fairytale! 🦋 It’s about 20 minute’s drive inland from Latina.

From San Felice southward starts a journey to much older places, several of them ancient, like Terracina, from where we have a little teaser, until we can make a proper vlog on it 😊
