Casale Poggio degli Ulivi

I absolutely LOVED staying at Casale Poggi degli Ulivi. The house was adorable and the pool was extraordinary. I especially loved the star gazing at night…it was wonderfully romantic and relaxing. The beds were comfy, the grounds were lush and the hosts were lovely. Definitely stay here! I’m coming back!

The villa is very well located in the mountains but close enough to the coast. Formia is very pretty and we particularly liked Sperlonga with its little alleyways and shops and Geata. Our party learned to windsurf on the beachfront. The villa is lovely. It’s roomy with high ceilings. It’s superbly equipped. We didn’t need anything. There are lots of places to sit in sun and shade and the pool is beautiful. The hosts looked after a flower filled garden and were helpful without being intrusive. I would thoroughly recommend. We wish we’d booked two weeks.

We had a lovely stay, Diego was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, and was very responsive. The villa is set in the beautiful mountains a mile or so outside of Formia with an amazing view of the sea and over to Gaeta.I would recommend asking Diego for a pin location to the property because our car sat nav couldn’t find it!

My wife and I just spent the month of September at Casale Poggio degli Ulivi and this place was something special. There are so many great things to say about staying here, the location is perfect, the villa is perfect with everything that you might need. The hosts are fabulous, eager to help and provide information to make your stay even more enjoyable. We will be back and we will recommend this listing to everyone we know. Rick & Penny Sabatini

We had a wonderful stay at Diego’s vacation home. The house is set in a beautiful well kept garden. The interior of the house is furnished and decorated very tastefully in a Mediterranean country style. His parents were so nice to give us fresh salad and tomatoes from their garden. Such a sweet gesture. Diego provides a list of recommended restaurants and shops which we wouldn’t have found otherwise and really enjoyed. There are some older cats on the property which are also very sweet and we enjoyed their company on the terrace. Overall we would stay there again. It was great.

we were 3 couples and wanted to aspend 2 Weeks in a nice, quiet but luxury environment. Diego and his parents gave us an excellent and friendly start, the house and the surroundings like te pool were perfectly maintained and very clean so that we could feel in holidays shorty after arrival. The location is perfect for short trips, as we visited Rome, Pompeji,, Amalfi and Naples (all within an1 1/2 hour trip) and we also had some beatiful days at the sea in luxury beaches with very clear and warm water. Also in the surrounding we were surprised by some excellent restaurants, Diego advised us. Diego: thank you a lot and greetings to your parents. Surely we meet agai

A lovely, lovely house - very comfortable, full of character and charm. The location was absolutely stunning looking over towards the village of Maranola, and the magnificent mountains behind - all to be viewed from a little piece of paradise. Not only was the house and pool an ideal retreat for relaxing but it was a great base for exploring and visiting Pompeii, Rome etc. Diego and his parents were ideal hosts - always attentive to any queries and helpful advise for travelling ....and the home grown tomatoes and figs were delicious. Very many thanks

Lovely property with pool. You need a car as very quiet and peaceful although not far from Formia. The owner was very helpful and helped us book a great day out to Ponza. Very helpful with information re supermarkets and places to eat and get gelato! Rome was about 90 minutes by train. Great service from Formia. There were great beaches about 30 minutes towards Rome but really didn’t need them as the pool was just gorgeous.

We loved the property and its setting. Peaceful with stunning views and very comfortable. The pool was great. Diego was so helpful and we loved Luigi's home grown tomatoes! A fantastic week - could have stayed for another.

We have been travelling to Italy for 25 years and have stayed all over in all kinds of accommodation. This year we booked Casale Poggio degli Ulivi through Vrbo situated near Formia in the Latina region. The house is spacious and first impressions are imposing, set in a semi tropical garden with mountains to the east and the mediterranean to the west. The host, Diego is helpful and genial. He had to meet us on the road as the Vrbo app could not locate the property. However, we would note the following: 1. Although the water quality of the pool is excellent and the size big enough for our party of four, it is not at all child friendly as it is cut into the rock and has no flat area around it. At one end there is a drop from the edge of the pool to the ground of aout 2 mtrs. 2. Despite having a deep veranda on three sides, by early afternoon, the shade had disappeared. 3. There is only space for two sun beds by the pool for a house that sleeps six, and no shade. 4. The only seating provided outdoors is for dining, there are no recliners and so it became uncomfortable to sit and read, and the only way to take an afternoon nap is to retreat indoors, as the locals do. 5. The surrounding area lacks the charm of Tuscany or Le Marche although Formia is near by and has several good restaurants.
