South Rome Castles
Heading south, just about 20 kilometers from Rome, you’ll discover charming villages regularly listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.” Known as the Castelli Romani, these towns owe their name to ancient medieval and Renaissance castles that crown the surrounding hills.
Our tour offers an enchanting journey through the most fascinating villages of the area:
• Castel Gandolfo, renowned as the Pope’s summer residence, with breathtaking views;
• Nemi, famous for its handmade desserts and delightful wild strawberries;
• Ariccia, known for its impressive bridge and the iconic porchetta, one of Rome’s most beloved culinary specialties.
Beyond the village visits, the experience is enriched by stunning natural landscapes, including Lake Albano and Lake Nemi, and the chance to dine at a traditional Roman fraschetta, where you can savor authentic porchetta and other local delicacies.
You can enjoy this tour comfortably by car, in an elegant Mercedes van, or on a Vespa during sunny spring and summer days for a more dynamic and scenic experience.
