Scene
Modern tourist hotel with seasonal pool, spa, and nearby beach
The Virgilio Grand's beige-floored lobby has a flat-screen TV, red, blue, and beige sofas, colorful art on the walls, and glass display cases with art pieces. Guests gather in the lobby and out beside the seasonal pool area, where there's also a hot tub, a poolside bar, and a deck with lounge chairs. The hotel caters primarily to leisure travelers, who are drawn to the hotel because of its recreation facilities and nearby beach, but large meeting rooms means that the Virgilio can -- and does -- accommodate business travelers.

A short walk from Old Town Sperlonga and the beach
The Virgilio Grand Hotel is located in Sperlonga, just south of the SR-213 highway.

The ancient villa of Roman emperor Tiberius is a 20-minute walk east of the hotel. The Fondi-Sperlonga train station is a 15-minute drive away and the Naples International Airport is just under two hours away by car.
