We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Corallo! Elio and his brother are excellent hosts and they really make you feel welcome and special. The room was so good with a little balcony where we enjoyed the stunning sunsets. The location is perfect and you have everything just outside the hotel. The small Alimentari just across the hotel is great and have a lot of good cheese, ham and salami. If you’re looking for a nice family run hotel with the most fantastic atmosphere - look no further. Hotel Corallo is the place for you! Thank you so much for making our stay so nice! Love Helen

A beautiful hotel owned by brothers Elio and Salvatore, who are the perfect hosts, very accomodating, and who made us feel very welcome. High quality decor and well maintained throughout. We had the executive double room with sea view which was very comfortable and the view was amazing. The hotel is very well situated in the old town. Two amazing beaches are accessible if you can manage steep slopes and steps (of which there are many) but the character of the old town and the views are well worth the effort. Breakfasts were very nice - cereals, fresh fruit, croissants, juice, coffee/tea (served by Elio or Salvatore rather than self-service). This is the best 3-star hotel we have ever stayed at. Sperlonga is well positioned for day trips to Gaeta and Terracina. Local buses are excellent value and a great way to explore the local area. We also did the 4.5 hour boat trip along the coast to Gaeta which was excellent value and a personal experience with a max of only 12 passengers.

Great property, a fantastic view balcony. Best central location. Best choice for the price. Extremely clean, nice decor details. Amazing breakfast - enjoyed homemade cakes so much) Pleasant owners, ready to provide any support. Appreciate the welcome! As common practice it would be great to have glasses in the room.

We had a great experience at Hotel Corallo. It is located in the best part of Sperlonga overlooking the ocean and steps from the the small piazza with restaurants and bars. The family who runs the hotel has done so for generations. They are attentive, organized and very helpful. They serve a traditional Italian breakfast with really a good caffe. We started in room 8 but eventually upgraded to 13 when it became available. We wanted a little more space and the views are priceless from the balcony. The hotel is located right at the top of the steps down to the beach. It’s a modest walk but one we did slowly. The calories we expended walking justified daily gelati. They rent towels and have an agreement with a local beach club for preferred umbrella spots and shuttle service.

We have been to Sperlonga many times but only second time in this lovely hotel.
Elio and his staff are very welcoming and so helpful (Elio even helped me sort out my parking fine from earlier in the week on his computer!)
Right in the heart of the old town, it is a wonderful boutique and unpretentious hotel that certainly has the best views in the whole of Sperlonga.
We will be back..

Amazing location in a picturesque little town perched above the sea. The kind family serves a delicious breakfast and takes care of all your needs. The beach is gorgeous and perfect for swimming or just lounging. I return every year.

The room was very clean, the view from the terrace was amazing, 4 pillows on the bed and the bathroom with a beautiful shower. The bathroom products were very fragrant. Breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the sea and plentiful. Thanks to Salvatore and Elio. We will return.

It’s important to note that the Corallo is a family business with brothers Elio and Salvatore helping their mother and all guests with a level of attentiveness that can only be understood by people with a vested interest in the success of their business. Salvatore checked us in and I was sorry I learned precious little Italian and misunderstood his instruction about the beach after he handed me a card stamped with the hotel’s insignia. Suffice it to say I understood later he was merely directing us to the beach, not waiving the price of admission to the unaffiliated businesses operated below for between 20 and 30 Euros a pop. After some confusion with those folks I finally figured out the charge was for an umbrella and chez lounge while our initial plan to merely snag a spot on the sand was absolutely free. Elio introduced himself to us as we returned from our first day at the beach, having called us by name after having recognized us from our passports which is a very flattering approach. In the morning he would typically run the complimentary breakfast, serving freshly brewed cappuccino, fresh fruit, juice, yogurt and pastries made proudly by his uncle. Perhaps he was anticipating a very American pace, but Elio served us extremely fast and even apologized for the fruit being late one morning, though we really hoped it wasn’t on our account. In any case he and his family left nothing to chance in terms of your being completely satisfied and tended to for everything you could possibly want or need to know about the town’s sites.
The rooms themselves are extremely clean and cheerful and appear to have been recently renovated with blue and white tiled floors and immaculate, sparking bathroom fixtures. The bedroom area also included a small fridge/wet bar, desk and chair, and an armoire complete with a safe, though with a small staff (including very friendly cleaning crew who were like part of the family occasionally seen sharing a coffee with the owners) and constant supervision, guests should feel completely at ease leaving their possessions behind for the day. Having to accommodate the sleeping schedule of a two year old son (not to mention our lingering jet lag) we were very grateful for how dark the room could get in the daytime with merely the bathroom and balcony doors closed.
With the hotel perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean on either side (from Tiberius’s grotto to Terracina), there is no such thing as a bad view. In fact, in all of my travels I’ve never had a room with such a spectacular view from the balcony. Although it would have been gastronomical sacrilege to not sample the food at every café in town, I confess then ideal night out for my wife and I was prosciutto, parmesan, bread, and Chianti (all procured daily from a very gracious proprietor of “frutteria alimentari” down the street) which we ate on the balcony that, in addition to the gorgeous view of either coastline, included a bird’s eye view of Sperlonga’s evening diners below and the comings and goings of vacationing families. It was like magic on our last night when most of the people were watching the World Cup in the nearby Piazza dela Liberta and the town experienced a brief power outage. In true Italian fashion, everyone applauded then lit candles or turned on their iPhone flashlights and cast enormous hand puppets on the stucco wall of the restaurant across from us. And when the lights came back on after a few minutes they applauded again.
The town of Sperlonga itself is really an ideal vacationer’s paradise enjoyed mostly by Italians and the occasional Russians (my wife included) not only because of its beaches and grotto, but because of the gorgeous and very sporty walks down literally hundreds of stairs from the cliff to the sea-level parts of town. Going down the Terracina view side of the cliff offered many labyrinthine stair options, but you could never get lost so long as you chose the stairs going down to the town center or up to the Corallo cliffside part of Sperlonga. And considering how older Italian architecture blends harmoniously with the landscape and actually complements the natural beauty, every turn offered a picturesque revelation including, in addition to the various quaint apartments, cafes, and shops along the way, offered a perfect view of the coast through an old Roman archway. Other notable establishments that complete the vacation experience were the Antico Caffè Trani for some of the best Italian ice cream (often served by a Russian émigré), an ideal afternoon reward for making it back up the cliff. And the Corallo itself shares name and real estate with the Ristorante Corallo which is actually run by the most fluent English speaker we encountered, an attentive New York state native who either owned or managed the restaurant. Also, we loved the “Bar il Portico Gastronomia Gelateria” in the Piazza Europa (the sunniest plaza in Sperlonga) for its local seafood and pasta dishes as well as the tasty pizza margarita.
In all we’d recommend the Hotel Corallo to anyone, not only for the service, immaculate rooms and spectacular views, but for the overall perfect vacation experience of Sperlonga itself.

I initially booked this wonderful hotel for four nights based on tripadvisor and other reviews. It was so marvelous that I ended up extending my stay for 5 more days.
When I arrived solo, I was given smallish room 15 which has a beautiful seaview terrace. The next night, I switched to room 13, a junior suite. One room only has two chairs and it's a great reading nook or storage space. The chairs are very comfortable foam which extend into two twin beds if people have children or a larger party.
My boyfriend joined me and we enjoy extra space. Room 13 is a corner room which has a spacious terrace and side small balcony looking onto the other part of the sea, the new town.
Brothers Elio and Salvatore make the stay even more wonderful. They are helpful and pleasant. Housekeeping is excellent. We left iPads and iPhones and things like that in the room and never felt insecure about theft.
The common areas are swept of leaves; plants and flowers everywhere brought by their mother are watered; rooms are all cleaned thoroughly and extra care and maintenance is really taken in this property.
Breakfast is lovely taken outside under a covered area, looking at the sea. Rather than a more typical Italian breakfast buffet, the brothers ask what you want: cheese, prosciutto, yogurt, fresh fruits, fresh cornetto, juices. Delicious espresso and good cappuccino are brought to your table along with what sounds good to you.
The only negative was the bed. I sleep on a memory foam mattress, and I admit that I am quite fussy about a mattress. This one was too firm for me (typical problem in Italy for me) but it also felt a bit firm and "springy." I actually took the foam off the chairs and placed it under the mattress pad and slept great after that.
Getting to Sperlonga requires dedication. Assuming that you're not in a private car, you must take a train from Rome or Naples to Fondi/Sperlonga for about €7. Take the occasional bus from Fondi immediately to the right after you exit the station which will take you to Sperlonga. It is €1.50 and you can buy your ticket on the bus. Tell the driver that you're going to Hotel Corallo which is the highest stop in centro storico. Easy walk from there to the hotel. The driver will point the way.
We went to Pompeii and Napoli one day. Took the last bus, arriving after 10pm. There are no buses at night, so we waited for a taxi (none showed.) if you find yourself in that situation, there is a sign next to the taxi stand with two 24/7 cell numbers of drivers. Rate negotiated was €15 during the day, €25 at night. They arrived maybe 10-15 minutes after I called.
I absolutely fell in love with this town and despite the public transport challenges, highly recommend Sperlonga and Hotel Corallo.

my 13 year old daughter and I stayed there after a very hot and hectic five days in Rome. We got there using public transportation (train then local bus) and it was so easy. the hotel is just lovely - we were exhausted and had a lovely and immaculately clean and modern corner room with TWO balconies. Fireworks over the bay, beautiful beach, wonderful and helpful people at the hotel. Have referred many friends there and when I hopefully go back, this is the only place I'll stay. what a find!!
