Viterbo will win you over with its medieval quarter of San Pellegrino, one of the best preserved in Europe, made of stone alleys and striking arches. Don’t miss the majestic Palazzo dei Papi, and let yourself be pampered by the renowned thermal waters that have restored body and spirit here for millennia. A walk through Viterbo is a genuine plunge into history.
Staying in Bomarzo lets you enjoy the calm of the Tuscia while being a step away from the Eternal City. In less than an hour you can immerse yourself in the thousand-year history of the Colosseum, admire the magnificence of St Peter’s or throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain. It is the perfect solution for those who want to visit Rome during the day and come back in the evening to the quiet and the cool of our village.
Europe’s largest volcanic lake awaits you with its clear waters (entirely swimmable) and its slow rhythms. You can stroll through the medieval centre of Bolsena, famous for the Eucharistic Miracle, or discover the pearl of the lake: Capodimonte, a picturesque village perched on a small peninsula. It is the ideal place for a lunch of lake fish or a boat trip out to the islands of Bisentina and Martana.
A place unlike any other in the world, suspended on a spur of tuff in the heart of the Valle dei Calanchi. Reachable only across a striking footbridge, Civita has a magical atmosphere, outside of time. Wandering its flower-filled alleys means discovering an enchanted village that defies erosion, with breathtaking views that look painted.
A few minutes from Viterbo, Villa Lante welcomes you with a spectacular interplay of fountains, cascades and geometric gardens. Named “Italy’s most beautiful park” in 2011, this villa enchants for the harmony between architecture and nature. It is the perfect place for a relaxing walk between the murmur of water and the perfection of its box hedge mazes.
Perched on a majestic tuff cliff, Orvieto guards one of Italy’s most precious treasures: its Duomo, with a mosaic façade that shines in the sun. But the city is just as surprising underground: don’t miss the extraordinary Pozzo di San Patrizio, an engineering masterpiece with its double spiral staircase, and the Orvieto Underground tour through ancient caves and tunnels.
