No visit to Rome is complete without a drive through the charming vine-trellised, palatial hill towns of the Castelli Romani..

Itinerary

Day 1

Our series of countryside tours also include a trip south of Rome though the Castelli Romani, the hillside group of towns beginning along the Appian Way.
Castelgandolfo and Lake Albano: This area's most famous town is Castelgandolfo, home to the pope's plush summer residence 450 meters above Lake Albano :one of two, naturally formed volcanic lakes, dating back tens of millions of years!. At the foot of Lake Albano you can still see ruins of some ancient Roman resort homes built by wealthy patrician class families.From Castelgandolfo's town square you can view the gates to the papal palace and works by Bernini inside the church, San Tommaso di Villanova. Castelgandolfo is home to many wealthy Roman families, as seen in the many luxury estates that dot the rim of the volcanic crater lake. Castelgandolfo's restaurants boast the finest country cuisine of the Castelli Romani.
Other towns well worth visiting in the Castelli Romani: Nemi, Frascati, Grottaferrata, Ariccia. Your driver will make many inspiring suggestions for other hill towns to visit. We highly recommend Frascati and Grottaferratta with their many noble residences, excellent restaurants, wineries and festive spirit. Nemi and Ariccia boast the some of the area's best county cuisine with specialties in cured salame meats, wild vegetables, mushrooms and roast suckling pig. Ariccia ‘s town square and ducal palace were designed by the great Bernini himself, while Nemi projects majestically above the area's second volcanic lake.

Yet strict Italian tourist board regulations prohibit chauffeurs from commenting excessively at official tourist sites outside their vehicles. This is agreement with labour union agreements struck with licensed walking tour guides. They can, of course, speak to you from inside the vehicle anywhere organized tourism is in place.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
