What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cincinnato offers a charming coastal experience with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood and beautiful sea views. While some find the atmosphere consistently 'reassuring,' others note a historical shift towards a more family-friendly environment with ample sports facilities. The Tor Caldara Nature Reserve is a highlight for nature lovers.
"We've been members for about 30 years. There used to be a lot of restrictions on children and teenagers, to the point that we mothers managed our own afternoon entertainment for our children, who were even forbidden from playing ball or listening to any form of music.
The Saturday dance evenings, held every Saturday evening in July and August, were very enjoyable and well-attended by members, with a simple two- or three-piece orchestra.
Once a season, there was the so-called "Dea Fortuna" evening (I've never understood the reason for this name), with a few performances by some members.
It was a different world than today, where the logic is reversed in favor of young people, with three soccer/volleyball fields on the beach that also saw the participation of kids from outside the club.
In the past, access to CNC services was much more controlled and the atmosphere was decidedly more family-friendly; today, for some, it's "repetitive," for us, "reassuring.""

"Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok
Cincinnato and Tor Caldara, an enchanting area, both the wing and its viewpoint."

"They say the beach is private, but Italian law is clear on this; private beaches don't exist. Furthermore, the lifeguards are aggressive and rude."
