Leisure/hospitality for sale in Formia, Lazio, Italy

3 km from the centre of Formia, a small town in the province of Latina on the gulf of Gaeta, waterfront hotel with private beach and tennis court for sale.
Founded by the Laconians and important centre for fishing and tourism, the city was highly appreciated by Roman noblemen as a vacation site. Right inside the city, or right nearby, one can see the remains of the old city and the two villas of Mamurra and Maecenas. Even Cicero chose this area of the Gulf to build his own countryside residence and here he died in 43 b.C. While trying to avoid Antonio’s claws.
Strategically important, Formia was chosen during the Empire as a passage point for the Via Appia.
The hotel is just 3 km from the town centre, where all the services are available, 20 minutes from Gaeta and 30 minutes from Sperlonga (one of the most beautiful towns of Italy) where one can admire Tiberius’ villa
