Unique Excursions and Experiences
The Castelli Romani are special and unique because they combine natural beauty, rich history, noble traditions, and authentic food and wine culture, all just a short distance from Rome. They sit on the Alban Hills, the remains of ancient volcanic activity. This gives the area two beautiful volcanic lakes: Lago di Albano and Lago di Nemi.
Many towns originated from medieval castles built by powerful Roman families.

Castelli Romani towns are known for their food, especially: Porchetta di Ariccia (herb-stuffed roast pork), Coppiette (spiced dried pork strips), wild strawberries from Nemi, and traditional Roman pasta dishes served in informal countryside eateries

The area includes Alba Longa, the legendary city of Romulus and Remus’s ancestors. Ruins of Roman villas, amphitheaters, and roads are still visible.
The area played a role in Roman, Papal, and feudal history, acting as a spiritual and strategic hub.
