Baia Domizia is for families after a wide sandy beach and a pine-shaded resort about an hour from Naples airport. It is a planned 1960s resort on the Gulf of Gaeta, in the province of Caserta, not on the Sorrento peninsula. It has no major sights, and in winter it is almost deserted.
Baia Domizia was planned and built as a holiday resort from 1963, and it is split between the towns of Sessa Aurunca and Cellole in the province of Caserta. It sits midway along the Gulf of Gaeta, right on Campania's border with Lazio, which here is the Garigliano river. The beach is wide and sandy, formed by eruptions of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano, and a large planted pine forest surrounds the resort. Inside, the roads curve rather than run straight, and getting about on foot works best, since summer parking is scarce in the centre. Our homes here sleep five or six, so they suit a family rather than a big group.
The archaeological area of the ancient Roman city, which you can visit just across the Garigliano river from the resort.
The town on the southwest slope of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano, with a cathedral begun in 1103 and an excavated Roman theatre.
A regional park in Sessa Aurunca, named for the old volcano that made the beach sand and the mouth of the Garigliano.
Fly to Naples. The drive from Naples airport is about 39 miles and takes around an hour. By public transport, get to Napoli Centrale and take the train to Sessa Aurunca-Roccamonfina; allow over two and a half hours from the airport. A car is the easiest way.
Yes, wide and sandy. The sand is volcanic in origin, laid down by the old Roccamonfina volcano, and a planted pine forest runs behind the resort.
It is at its busiest at the end of August. Visitors start arriving from Easter, numbers fall away sharply from September, and in winter the resort is close to a ghost town.
No. It is on the Gulf of Gaeta in the province of Caserta, on Campania's border with Lazio, well away from the Sorrento peninsula. Naples airport is about an hour's drive.
Not in the resort itself, but the Roman city of Minturnae is just across the Garigliano, and Sessa Aurunca has a medieval cathedral and the Real Ferdinando bridge of 1832.
