    Description

    Hi, I'm Maria Donatella and I live in my beautiful house on the hill of Itri, just steps from the most beautiful beaches of the Riviera di Ulisse, from Gaeta to Formia and Sperlonga. It's an ideal place for those who appreciate peace and quiet, yet within a 1 km radius you can easily reach the historic city center, with its beautiful medieval castle. I love the tranquility and location of this house, as well as the magnificent view of the Gaeta sea and the islands of Ischia, Procida, and Capri, and on clear days you can even see Mount Vesuvius. The entire property is surrounded by a beautiful olive grove. I live with my daughter Susanna, my beloved Luna, a sweet 10-year-old mixed-breed dog, and Blu, our curious and playful 2-year-old Chartreux cat.

    Ciao sono Maria Donatella e vivo nella mia bella casa sulla collina di Itri, a pochi passi dalle piu' belle spiagge della Riviera di Ulisse, da Gaeta a Formia e Sperlonga. Un luogo ideale per chi apprezza la quiete e la pace, ma nel raggio di 1 km si arriva facilmente nel centro storico cittadino, con il suo bellissimo castello medioevale.
    Di questa casa amo la tranquillità e la posizione e la vista magnifica sul mare di Gaeta e sulle isole di Ischia, Procida e Capri e nelle giornate belle si riesce a vedere anche il Vesuvio. Tutta la proprietà è circondata da un bellissimo uliveto.
    Vivono con me mia figlia Susanna, la mia adorata Luna, cagnolina meticcia di 10 anni dal carattere dolcissimo e Blu la gattina certosina di 2 anni, curiosa e giocherellona
