italy experts - need help w/ name of town

Someone (a Naples native)recently told me about a town on the coast not too far (2hrs max?) from Naples that was similar to Positano - cliff side, coastal town - but a lot of the buildings were made of white marble. I thought it began with an S and ended in Longa or Longo but can't find anything searching the internet. I don't know if he was giving me the Italian name or the Americanized name, though he often referred to other Italian towns by their true Italian name...
Can anyone help?

Actually, it is Sperlonga and is a great place to stay the first or last nite for flights from FCO---about 2 hours south on the coast--near Gaeta.
