Our friend Cup lived in Gaeta, Italy with his family during his childhood between (10-14 years old). Upon deciding to return to Gaeta to see where Cup lived, he explored the possibility of spending time with some family friends.

Kiki, a good family friend of Cup’s family, owns amazing apartments on the Mediterranean. We were able to stay at Villa Accetta and enjoy all of the beauty of the Mediterranean view

While in Gaeta, Cup was able to share his childhood with us through various memories. It was amazing to see Gaeta through his eyes. Walking around the house he grew up in, the soccer field he played on, the terraced land with olive trees, the school he met other kids at, the mountain we hiked, the lighthouse, the place his dad got in a car accident, his families favorite restaurant, his first job, and other memories continually flowed from his mind and heart as we explored.

The last time Cup was in Gaeta, he couldn’t drive (well, his dad let him shift sometimes) and now Cup was driving us all around, as though we were test driving our car on the mountain roads. It was beautiful, I experienced some nausea but I blame the roads and the altitude, not Cup’s driving.

Thank you Jacob (Cup) Kobernik for sharing Gaeta with Justin and I. Swimming in the Med, cooking great food together and drinking wine on the balcony. It cound not have been more perfect.

Feel free to contact Kiki, and stay at Villa Accetta. However, unfortunately, Cup doesn’t come with the package deal.
