Sapore di Mare nel Blu

We had a very spacious room, and a crib is available if requested. It was surprisingly quiet for a place in an apartment block surrounded by other tall buildings. The breakfast was excellent, with vouchers from the property accepted at one of two participating bars or cafés. The B&B itself is charming and well placed, a short walk from Serapo beach and the main shops for essentials. Finding parking was a real struggle since there's no private lot. I do want to mention the garden outside our room: it's a lovely, roomy space, but the cleanliness and upkeep were poor, which is a shame because guests can't really enjoy it. Even so, I'd recommend the place.

The staff were welcoming and kind, and the rooms were clean and pleasant. I wasn't happy about two things: the booking listing says the sea is 200 meters away, but it was actually 450 meters. Also, the affiliated bar where you get breakfast is another 500 meters away, which felt a bit inconvenient.

This is a clean B&B with four separate rooms, about 500 meters from the sea. There's no kitchen, just your own room and bathroom, plus a coffee machine. Check-in is self-service, with everything explained through WhatsApp; at checkout you can leave the keys in the box and go whenever you like. Breakfast isn't included, but you can pay extra for a voucher to get coffee and croissants at a bar. I give the B&B five stars for cleanliness and how easy check-in and checkout are. Gaeta gets one from me because parking is paid everywhere, 24/7, all year round.

The amenities are generally good, including efficient Wi-Fi and excellent breakfasts at Brio Bar. From here it's possible to get to the beaches and city center without a car, though the location feels remote. It's a ground-floor apartment in a building on Via Bologna, and getting in from the street is awkward. The rooms aren't in great shape: cleanliness is poor, the showers are in bad condition, and the air conditioning is noisy. A few modest improvements could bring them back to a good standard. Parking in Gaeta is a nightmare, especially in high season.
