Leave behind the crowds of Rome and discover the timeless charm of southern Lazio’s coastline with this private day tour to Sabaudia and San Felice Circeo — two extraordinary destinations nestled between the sea, the forest, and the mountains. Here, nature is still the main character, and the rhythm of life is slow, reflective, and deeply connected to the land and the sea.

Your journey begins in Sabaudia, a town unlike any other in Italy. Built in just 253 days during the 1930s, Sabaudia is a rare example of rationalist architecture in harmony with nature. Wide boulevards, clean geometric lines, and minimalist buildings rise between the Circeo National Park’s lush pine forests and the golden sand dunes that stretch for miles along the Tyrrhenian coast. Enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach, stop for a coffee by the lake, and breathe in the fresh scent of Mediterranean vegetation carried by the wind.

From here, a scenic drive along the sea takes you to San Felice Circeo, a village suspended between land and legend. Perched on the slopes of Mount Circeo, this promontory was once believed to be the home of the sorceress Circe, who bewitched Ulysses in Homer’s Odyssey. The old town is a small gem of whitewashed walls, stone alleys, panoramic terraces, and hidden piazzas where silence invites contemplation. From up here, the view opens to infinity — sea, sky, and light blending in every direction.

In the afternoon, the experience becomes customizable according to your pace and interests. You may choose to:

• Embark on a private boat tour around the Circeo promontory, discovering hidden coves, sea grottoes, and untouched stretches of coast — a peaceful exploration by water, guided by local knowledge.

• Continue to Terracina, a vibrant coastal town with ancient origins. Explore the lively historic center and reach the Temple of Jupiter Anxur, dramatically set on a cliff with panoramic views of the entire gulf.

This day trip is designed to offer a deep connection with one of Italy’s most overlooked and authentic regions. It’s ideal for travelers seeking nature, myth, and slow discovery, far from tourist clichés — an elegant and mindful escape guided with care.
