Sabaudia is one of the chicest of Italian beach resorts and arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of beaches in the world. The National Park itself is an extraordinarily beautiful, natural site that has been preserved since 1934, containing the Monte Circeo, 20 km of superb sandy beaches, four lakes and a forest in its 8,500 hectares (18,700 acres). Recognised by UNESCO as a “World Heritage Site”, the park contains 1,237 species of fauna and 250 species of bird, and wild boar, deer and foxes thrive in the forest. It also contains ruins of Emperor Domitian’s Villa and Lucullo’s Spring,The 1,700 foot Monte Circeo is believed to be the site of Circe and her Sirens, described in Homer’s Iliad. A drive to the old town of San Felice Circeo, nearby, and up to the top of the mountain, and to the Punto Rosso area around the southern part of the mountain affords wonderful views. St. Felice Circeo also offers an additional selection of excellent restaurants and beaches to visit and enjoy.
