An opportunity to leave the metropolis of Rome and immerse yourself in the natural and artistic beauty of the small medieval villages outside Rome known as Castelli Romani. Leaving Rome we drive by the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla and onto the Ancient Appian Way by the Chapel of "Domine Quo Vadis?". This tour then takes you along the ‘Road of the Lakes' through one of the hilly areas of volcanic origin that characterize the outskirts of Rome; the Colli Albani with its many growing villages. One of these villages is Castelgandolfo, on the shores of a volcanic lake, where the Pope has his summer residence. Others include Rocca di Papa and Grottaferrata, known for their culture, sights and gastronomic delicacies, which include the traditional "porchetta". Towards the northerly part of the Colli Albani, we reach Frascati popular with visitors both for its beauty and considerable wine production. Here we stop for a taste of local wine and to absorb the flavour of village life. After a day of taking in all the beautiful villages of the Castelli Romani, our tour guide will return you safe and sound to the vicinity of your hotel.
