Just 30 minutes from the Simon Hotel Aprilia lies an oasis of tranquility and pristine beauty: the Tor Caldara Nature Reserve , located along the Anzio coast. It's the perfect place for those who want to discover the authentic nature of the Lazio coast and enjoy a rejuvenating experience amidst Mediterranean scents, ancient watchtowers, and breathtaking sea views.
The magic of the reserve
The Tor Caldara Nature Reserve extends over 40 hectares and encompasses a variety of unique environments: sand dunes, holm oak forests, Mediterranean scrub, and sulfur springs. Here, time seems to slow down, and every trail offers glimpses of rare beauty and moments of profound connection with nature.
Walking along the nature trails, you can admire protected flora and fauna species, such as wild orchids, turtles, foxes, and numerous migratory birds. An ideal experience for couples, families, and lovers of easy trekking.
History and legend
The symbol of the reserve is the evocative Caldara Tower , a 16th-century watchtower built to defend the coast from Saracen raids. Even today, it dominates the coastal landscape, a silent witness to centuries of history and legends linked to the sea and local fishermen.
Between sea and nature
After a walk through the reserve, you can reach the nearby Tor Caldara beach , one of the most characteristic on the Anzio coast. Its cliffs and clear seabed are ideal for a refreshing swim or simply relaxing while listening to the sound of the waves.
For the more sporty, you can combine the visit with a kayaking or snorkeling excursion in the crystal-clear waters of the area.
