ItalianoWelcome to Villa Accetta
Villa Accetta is an aristocratic home of great charm on the Gulf of Gaeta. The villa offers visitors a peaceful escape with its lush gardens, its airy apartments and broad terraces overlooking the sea. Built on Roman foundations, the property sits above the fresh-water spring called Artacia Fons that flows into the sea. Homer, Dante, Virgil and Ovid all wrote about this spring, where Ulysses and his crew found drinkable water after months at sea.
You can find your own respite from the chaotic modern world, sheltered above the waters of Artacia Fons ... here at Villa Accetta.
They went, and kept the wheel’s
smooth-beaten road
Which to the city drew the mountain wood;
When lo! they met, beside a crystal spring,
The daughter of Antiphates the king;
She to Artacia’s silver streams came down;
(Artacia’s streams alone supply the town)
- Homer, The Odyssey
Villa Accetta sits at the edge of the picturesque town of Gaeta, with its ancient Roman ruins, medieval city and castle, ancient churches and shops, bars, trattoria, restaurants, pizzeria and gelateria. All the apartments have views across the Gulf to the old city of Gaeta. The villa is the ideal place to spend a serene, peaceful holiday, within day-trip distance of Rome or Naples, but with none of the noise and chaos of the cities.
The Apartments
The villa, which has been owned by the Accetta family for generations, has four fully furnished apartments with beautifully appointed bathrooms, ranging from a studio that sleeps two to a two-bedroom spacious apartment with a full terrace that sleeps up to six. Each apartment is available to rent separately, or the whole villa, which sleeps up to 18, is available for family or corporate groups who wish to spend a holiday together with the luxury of individual residences. This makes Villa Accetta an ideal and sophisticated venue for intimate holidays, family reunions, celebrations and group vacations. Parking is adjacent to the property.
The Sea
Each apartment has a stunning sea view. Steps lead from the large, panoramic terraces down to the seashore and the villa's private beach with sun chairs and umbrellas.
