Sermoneta

Sermoneta is a charming medieval walled hill village, south and inland from Rome.

To get in, it will be necessary to take a car, whether it is your own car, a rental, or a taxi from Latina Scalo (the train station for the city of Latina ).

Everything in town is walkable.

There is a castle at the top of the hill. Otherwise, it's not so much that there are specific sights as that the entire town is picturesque, pleasant, and relaxing, and there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

Visit the Caetani castle at the top of the hill and explore the medieval alleyways. The Cistercian Valvisciolo Abbey is a short drive or walk from town.

The center of town is the Piazza del Popolo. Sit outside at a trattoria there, and have some lunch, drink, and chat. Stay healthy During the summertime, area farmers burn the chaff, and the smoke wafts over the town. This is not a source of contagion, but make sure to bring allergy remedies if you are sensitive.

Cafés on Piazza del Popolo serve coffee, wine, and refreshments with views of the surrounding countryside.

Hotels, guesthouses, and bed-and-breakfast establishments offer accommodation. Advance booking is recommended during peak season.

Small shops in the old town sell local crafts and produce. The weekly market offers regional food items. For more extensive shopping, nearby Latina is the best option.

The nearest city is Latina , but you will probably prefer to go north from there to Rome , or south toward Naples . This article is issued from Wikivoyage .
