Bottom Line

This basic but pleasant property on the Sant’Agostino beach, in the town of Gaeta, offers a fantastically beautiful location directly on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Simple bungalows and a plain but aesthetically charming restaurant sit nestled among olive and palm trees in what, as the hotel's name suggests, constitutes a small village of rooms. The atmosphere is pleasant, but guests have noted that the beach can become crowded on summer weekends, and that while some of the bungalows close to the sand receive the sound of waves at night, those closer to the road receive a constant hum of street traffic.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hotel Villaggio Torre San Vito

Scene

Budget vacationers and families enjoy the simple beach environment and casual, camp-ground feel here.

A relaxed atmosphere pervades the property of Torre San Vito, owing in part to the casual setting of the surrounding beach town of Sant’Agostino. The low-lying buildings of the main building and its adjacent bungalows are laid out in a forested strip along the coastline; the grounds comprise a shady area with a ping-pong table, a few outdoor amusements for children such as slides, and a stretch of grass overlooking the beach with lounge chairs for sunning away from the crowds on the sand. Families in particular flock here to benefit from the direct beach access.

Location

In the beach town of Sant’Agostino, near Gaeta’s downtown area along the southern Roman coast

The property is situated in the small beach subdivision of Sant’Agostino, which is considered part of the town of Gaeta but slightly outside its urban streets; the town of Gaeta is a 10-minute drive to the east, and is located 75 miles from Rome and 50 miles from Naples. Gaeta is accessible by car or bus only, as it does not have a train station. Buses run multiple times daily from the nearest train station in the town of Formia.

Rooms

Basic, individual standalone bungalow rooms with a dorm-like aesthetic

The rooms at Torre San Vito, which are independent buildings scattered throughout the grounds, are far from fancy: institutional pastels and zero wall decor characterize most of them. A wrought-iron headboard appears to be the only attempt at decoration here. But guests overall seem pleased enough with the location, and have given Hotel Villagio good marks for cleanliness, though some have noted that bathrooms are tiny and lack bidets. All bungalows have refrigerators and mounted flat-screen TVs.

Features

A restaurant with a terrace and ocean views that gets mixed reviews; an outdoor solarium

The property has a few simple amenities. The restaurant and bar, furnished inside with dark wood, local stone, and terra-cotta tiles, are set near the water, and incorporate a pleasant stone patio overlooking the sea. The hotel maintains lounge chairs on the sand as well as on a strip of grass overlooking the beach. There is also a small area with a few diversions for children, including a ping-pong table.
