The La Costa Bed & Breakfast stands on the northern side of the slopes of Montecassino, a pretty dwelling immersed in green Mediterranean brushland: prickly pears, elms, olive trees and agaves. Located only 900 metres from the centre of Cassino, it has two comfortable and tastefully decorated attic bedrooms, with heating.
Doors and frames in chestnut wood. Sheets and towels of natural cotton, washed with ecological detergents; “Linea Mediterranea” bathroom-shower kit made by Fratelli CARLI.
The communal area includes a breakfast room with a cosy sitting room where guests can read books about the history of Cassino (in English, German, French and Italian), and there is a small garden. Continental breakfast with food carefully prepared in accordance with regional laws; biological food on request.
La Costa of Cassino was the scene of the bloodiest battle of the Second World War; thousands of soldiers lost their lives here in the bitter winter of 1943-44.
The place is therefore a true “cradle” of the history of Cassino and its people. There are historic photographs in the house and, after a thorough search at the Istituto Luce (an Italian film and photographic institute) and in the files of the US armed forces, we obtained extraordinary and extremely rare documentation about the battle of Cassino - in colour and in black and white - from the Istituto Luce’s Historical Files.
