The Details

Perched atop the Aurunci mountains and nestled within an ancient olive grove, Due Pini offers a slice of Italian paradise with sweeping sea views that stretch out like an endless azure blanket. This understated architectural gem, designed by Cherubino Gambardella, combines concrete, marble and warm wood to create a space that is sleek and deeply relaxing – ideal for a family or group of friends seeking a serene getaway. Every detail has been considered to blend effortlessly with the surrounding landscape, including solar panels and rainwater collection systems that feed the pool and showers, reflecting a thoughtful, sustainable approach to modern living.

Step outside and the house truly comes alive. A large terrace wraps around the property, leading to an inviting infinity pool with a sun-drenched deck and two outdoor showers. It’s the perfect place to soak up the sun, watch the sparkling sea stretch to the horizon, or let the children roam freely across the terrace while you unwind with a drink in hand. For quieter moments, the inner courtyard offers a serene retreat among blossoming lemon trees, while the surrounding olive grove produces its own olive oil each year – a living reminder of the region’s timeless beauty and traditions.

Inside, the open-plan lounge and kitchen exude a refined, modern elegance. Clean lines and sleek finishes create a calm, uncluttered environment, while large windows frame the breathtaking views and let natural light pour in. It’s a space designed for shared moments, whether you’re preparing a feast in the kitchen, relaxing on the sofas or gathering around the table for a leisurely Italian meal.

Sleeping arrangements are perfectly suited to families. The master bedroom upstairs boasts two large balconies overlooking the sea and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Adjacent is a small children’s bedroom, doubling as a dressing room – ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on little ones. On the ground floor, the guest bedroom sits close to the pool and can be configured as a twin or double, while a playful bunk-bed room nearby serves as a cosy den for children. A second bathroom on this level ensures everyone has space and privacy. In total, the house comfortably accommodates eight guests, with two larger bedrooms for adults and two smaller, fun-filled bedrooms for children.

Whether you’re floating in the infinity pool, exploring the olive groves or simply watching the sun drift over the Mediterranean, Due Pini is a retreat that combines design, comfort and the natural splendour of Italy.

If you wish to venture out and explore, then there is lots to see and do nearby. Golden sands and crystal-clear waters at Sperlonga and Gaeta are just a short drive away, ideal for swimming, sunbathing or trying your hand at watersports. Rolling hills and scenic trails invite exploration, whether on foot or by bike, offering panoramic views that stretch across the coastline.

When evening falls, the region’s culinary treasures await: from the family-run charm of Bellavista in Itri, to fresh seafood at Come Il Mare in Gaeta or the intimate local flavours of Zi’Anna in Formia, each meal becomes an occasion in itself, perfectly rounding out a day of sun, sea and adventure.
