Have a look at Grand Hotel Le Rocce in Gaeta - certainly not 5 star but very picturesque location on a cove - I think most if not all rooms overlook the sea. I haven't been there for a few years but the food in the hotel was nothing special at the time but there were lots of excellent local restaurants in surrounding villages.
