Dear guests, thank you very much for your review. You are perfect guests and it was a great pleasure to help you plan some visits during your holidays in Formia. Above all, I am happy that you felt our Casetta as your home. I hope you will come back to be our guests again, also because you still have to visit Naples!
This cottage is an absolute gem!! Anna is a wonderful host and her house is beautiful! Decorated beautifully and very clean and comfortable! Our stay was too short! Walking distance to the beach and to a small market and a few restaurants.

Davvero grazie a te e alla tua famiglia, Cheryl. Per noi è sempre una grande soddisfazione quando i nostri ospiti riescono a sentirsi “a casa” anche in un posto che è migliaia di chilometri lontano dalla loro casa. Hai ragione, il vostro soggiorno è stato breve ma spero che la prossima volta dedicherete più tempo alle vostre vacanze a “Mare Dentro”!
Our stay in the Casetta was so relaxing.. Anna Maria is a great host and she ran us all the information we needed to have a pleasant stay for 10 days.
Our compliments for the cleanness, garden and your whole accommodation. Its all well taken care of.
Thank you !
And an abbracciato da Antonio

Beautiful property, charming host
The property has been beautifully designed and decorated, we found it quite delightful, private and really comfortable.
We really enjoyed meeting Anna Maria who is a charming host and gave us much good advice and information about the area. Her parents are in a separate property nearby and are really lovely people who, whilst repecting the privacy of the guests, were anxious to help with any problems or enquiries they may have.
We loved the beach clubs and really enjoyed the well cared for sand and perfect sea. It was a great holiday.

Anything I could say about Val and Mike wouldn't be enough.
A charming couple but - most importantly - great people with a deep humanity, I would have spend hours listening to the story of their lives and their journeys. My parents and I remember them with great affection and it was an immense pleasure to have the opportunity to meet people like Val and Mike. I really loved having them as my guests at "Mare Dentro". They not only treated my place like their own, but Mike "the engineer" even helped me by given me some very good advice about my outdoor shower! Wherever their journeys will take them... it will be a great pleasure to host such friendly people.
Val, Mike, thank you so much for being my guests.
My brother and I stayed in this wonderful villa on the outskirts of Formia, using it as a base from which to visit the various sites my father experienced during his time in Italy with the British Army in WW2. The villa is very much a home, tastefully furnished with all the amenities you could expect. Anna and her mother were very welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Anna provided great recommendations for eating locally and places to visit. I would happily recommend.

We were very happy to meet Toby and Tim and to welcome them to our property, not only because they are perfect guests, attentive to the rules of the house, sociable and cooperative, but above all because the reason for their stay in Italy was unique and moving as well. Theirs was a “journey of memory” through the places where their father fought during the Second World War. It’s impossible not to be proud to have met special people like them.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful life experience with us!
Das Haus ist absolut fantaschtisch und sehr gemütlich. Es ist alles da, was man benötigt, einfach auspacken und der Urlaub kann beginnen. Anna Maria ist die perfekte Gastgeberin und hat uns viele wertvolle Tips für den Aufenthalt gegeben. Es war ein sehr freundlicher Empfang und wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.

Cari Marion e Michael, grazie di cuore per le vostre parole. Mi rende molto felice sapere che le vostre vacanze in Italia ed il vostro soggiorno a “Mare Dentro” vi abbiano lasciato dei bei ricordi.
Ci tengo in modo particolare a farvi i complimenti per l’attenzione verso la nostra Casetta e la pulizia, avete lasciato “Mare Dentro” in condizioni perfette. Siete degli ottimi ospiti! Grazie ancora per averci scelti.
Wir hatten zwei wundervolle Wochen.Man wird von der Familie herzlich empfangen und betritt man das Areal ist man überwältigt. Hier ist jeder Bereich mit Liebe eingerichtet worden.Die große "Casseta" ist völlig ausreichend für eine Familie mit zwei Kindern. Beinhaltet eine Küche, die mit allem ausgestattet ist, was man braucht. Weiterhin gibt es zwei Schlafzimmer mit jeweils einem Bad und einen großen Wohn-/ Esszimmer. Die vorhandenen Klimaanlagen sind gerade an wärmeren Sommertagen eine große Hilfe. Unser absolutes Highlight war die Außendusche. Wir haben nur dort geduscht. So hat man keinen Sand ins Haus getragen und auch eine Abkühlung ist immer möglich. Unser Auto konnten wir direkt vor der Tür parken. Zum freien Strand von Gianola gingen wir so gemütliche 15 Minuten.Zum kostenpflichtigen Strand sind es ca. 8 Gehminuten.Wir haben nicht nur 14 tolle Nächte dort verbracht, sondern auch eine Familie kennengelernt, die wir direkt ins Herz geschlossen haben. Anna Maria, Nonna Pina und ihre Familie, die unmittelbar nebenan wohnen sind herzliche und liebevolle Menschen. Sie helfen in jeglichen Situationen und stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Italiener sind ja bekannt für ihre Herzlichkeit gegenüber Kinder und so auch diese Menschen, die unsere zwei Mädchen mit Eis begrüßten und auch immer zuvorkommend waren. Alles in allem, kommen wir nächstes Jahr wieder und wir können die kleine Casseta nur empfehlen. Wenn man hier bucht, ist ein toller Urlaub garantiert.
We zijn hier eerder geweest!Geweldige Casetta van alle gemakken voorzien. Mooie, goed onderhouden tuin, twee slaapkamers (met airco, evenals een airco in de woonkamer) met elk een badkamer. Fijne keuken met genoeg pannen/borden. Nonna Pina woont ernaast en is er voor je als je iets nodig hebt of wilt vragen, net zoals Anna Maria! Niets is ze teveel! Het was niet ons eerste verblijf, maar zeker ook niet ons laatste verblijf hier.
Varcato il cancello siamo stati catapultati in un'altro mondo. Una casa stupenda in ogni minimo dettaglio. A breve distanza dal mare, per chi ama la tranquillità e la pace. Ringrazio Anna Maria e la sua adorabile mamma, la signora Pina

Carissimi Barbara, Marcello, Carlotta e Simone, oltre che ringraziarvi per le vostre parole perché ci fanno capire che i nostri ospiti si sentono “a casa”, il mio grazie più sentito va alle vostre affettuose attenzioni verso Nonna Pina. Tutti noi speriamo tanto di rivedervi!
Wir hatten zwei schöne Wochen in Anna Marias Ferienhaus. Dank der Klimaanlage und der tollen Außendusche waren auch die sommerlichen Temperaturen gut zu ertragen. Besonders gut war auch die Lage zum Sandstrand. In zehn Minuten war man zu Fuß dort. Also perfekt mit Kind. Anna Maria war bei allen Fragen immer für uns da und wir haben uns sehr über einige Ausflugstipps gefreut. Dankeschön für zwei tolle Wochen

Grazie di cuore per le vostre parole, sapere che abbiamo contribuito a rendere piacevoli le vostre vacanze in Italia ci rende felici. Siamo felici che abbiate apprezzato la nostra doccia esterna e il fresco degli spazi interni, infatti siete stati nostri ospiti in una delle estati più calde in assoluto!
Vi ringrazio molto per la cura che avete dedicato alla nostra “Casetta”, siete degli ospiti che raccomanderei ad ogni host.
Der Empfang von Anna Maria war sehr Herzlich. Alles wurde einem gezeigt und erklärt.
Das Haus ist super, alles sehr gepflegt und individuell eingerichtet. Betten top. Zimmer auf Wunsch klimatisiert und 2 Bäder vorhanden. Überall sind auch Fest installierte Stechmückenrahmen montiert.
Die sehr schöne Aussenanlage mit ihren zahlreichen Sitz und Chill Gelegenheiten - einfach nur zum Wohlfühlen. Die Kids konnten sicher, da kommplett umzäunt, sicher ums Haus springen.
Restaurants, kleiner Supermarkt und das Meer mit kostenlosem Abschnitt sind auch in 7-10min zu Fuß zu erreichen. Größere Geschäfte 5-10min mit dem Auto.
Alles im allem ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt. Sehr zu Empfehlen...

Carissima famiglia Mauro, vi ringrazio di cuore per le vostre parole.
Sapere che “Mare Dentro” ha contribuito a farvi rilassare, a rendere speciali le vacanze a voi e ai vostri bambini ci rende felici.
Vi ringrazio per il comportamento sempre rispettoso e per le belle chiacchierate, mi è sembrato di conoscervi da tanto tempo.
Un abbraccio a tutti voi.
Anna Maria
Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohlgefühlt!
Grazie Anna Maria, du bist eine tolle Gastgeberin.
Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit viel Platz, herrlicher Garten mit Außendusche und alles mit viel Liebe zum Detail.
Eine Auto ist allerdings fast ein MUSS, denn Strände und Supermärkte sind weiter weg, besonders wenn man nicht nur an den ca 800 m entfernten Strand möchte. Es gibt einige tolle Strände, aber zu Fuß eben nicht erreichbar.

Meine lieben Gäste, es war eine Freude und ein Glück, eine so aufmerksame und gesellige Familie wie die Ihre zu Gast zu haben. Sie haben sich um unser Haus gekümmert, als ob es Ihr eigenes wäre.
Es stimmt, in einer Gegend wie der unseren, die nicht nur viele Strände hat (einer davon liegt in der Nähe unseres Hauses), sondern auch viele andere landschaftliche Attraktionen zu bieten hat, ist es wichtig, ein Auto zu haben. Die Reisenden werden Ihren Rat zu schätzen wissen.
Genießen Sie Ihren Aufenthalt in Neapel und nochmals vielen Dank für Ihren Aufenthalt bei uns.
Ps. Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Sie sind sachkundige und super organisierte Reisende!
Wij gezin met twee volwassen kinderen verbleven 10 dagen. Gastvrouw Anna Maria is een zeer lieve, zorgzame en altijd bereikbare gastvrouw. Het huis is prachtig ingericht, zeer schoon, zeer compleet en drie airco's. De tuin is een plaatje met ruime loungeset, eettafel en ligbedden. Zelden zo'n mooi huis gezien vlak bij het strand. Omgeving is volgens de kinderen een beetje saai. Strand alleen Italiaande toeristen.

A huge Grazie! to my lovely Dutch guests! A family with a great passion for Italy and especially for good food. It was a pleasure spending some time with you and exchange our mutual gastronomic knowledge. La Casetta and I will not forget you! Ps. Good luck for your "Arancello", Martin!
Una vacanza spettacolare abbiamo fatto pochi giorni ma la casa è favolosa e l'ospitalità eccezionale ti accolgono come se fossi della famiglia. Poi con la Nonna Pina tutto è ancora più splendido accogliete e sempre disponibile un amore di Nonna la posizione è perfetta per stare in tranquillità al fresco e in pace in un giardino favoloso e super attrezzato per tutte le esigenze. AnnaMaria poi è sempre a disposizione per qualsiasi esigenza e molto disponibile anche nel consigliare per i vari lidi e pizzerie ristoranti ecc... È stata la miglior vacanza che noi abbiamo fatto.

Cara Marika, grazie di cuore per l’entusiasmo delle tue parole.
Non può che farci un immenso piacere sapere che vi siate sentiti a casa nella nostra Casetta, è il complimento più bello e gratificante.
Spero davvero riusciate ad essere di nuovo nostri ospiti.
Nonna Pina ed io ne saremmo davvero molto felici!
La casetta, così definita dalla proprietaria, è un piccolo angolo di paradiso in stile tipico marinaro vicino al litorale e al promontorio della Gianola. Annamaria è una persona gentile, cordiale e molto ospitale. La location è perfetta e dotata di tutti i confort compreso un delizioso giardino vivibile e con meravigliosi alberi di frutta e piante varie. L'ospitalità della padrona di casa e della sua famiglia è eccezionale, casa molto indicata per famiglia composta da 4 persone o due coppie di amici. Due camere, due bagni, cucina attrezzatissima, ampia zona living, giardino enorme e posto auto. Merita una valutazione da 5 stelle.

Caro Manlio, non posso che rispondere con un GRAZIE a “5stelle” alle parole affettuose che ci avevate dedicato. Vi siamo grati per il rispetto che avete riservato a “Mare Dentro” e soprattutto per le coccole a Lola. Siamo stati davvero fortunati ad ospitare persone cordiali e accoglienti come voi. Mi piace pensare che ci sarà una prossima volta, quindi… arrivederci!
We had a wonderful stay dispute the awful torrential storms we had during the first 5 days of our stay. Signoria Pina made sure we were fine and treated us with wonderful homemade delicious delights.
We will definitely be staying there when we visit the area. House very functional and clean. You will enjoy your stay.
Wat een mooi vakantiehuis! Privacy, rust en alles in de buurt. Werkelijk alles is aanwezig en als het er niet is, dan is Anna bereikbaar en zij of nonna Pina staan klaar. Nonna Pina met verse tomaten en basilicum, zodat je gelijk een lekkere saus kunt maken.
Wij gaan zeker nog een keer terug!
Grazie Anna en Nonna Pina! Arrivederci!
Come anticipato dal titolo arrivare nella proprietà e respirare una aria decisamente casalinga è stata immediata e piacevole sensazione. Cordialità e continua attenzione per l'ospite hanno reso il soggiorno davvero ottimale. La casa è ben divisa e attrezzata al meglio. Davvero una super esperienza.

Grazie a voi, Luisa e Maurizio, per essere entrati nella stessa lunghezza “d’onda” di “Mare Dentro”. Siete stati ospiti discreti ed attenti con i quali abbiamo scoperto di avere belle affinità, quindi “accoglierci” a vicenda è stato quasi inevitabile. I ricordi che ci avete lasciato accompagneranno tutti noi per molto tempo. Messaggio in codice: sono sicura che i Pesci Metafisici nuoteranno molto volentieri a “Mare Dentro”!
