Itineraries

Divine revelations

The beauty of the Italian capital extends far beyond the walls of the city and makes its presence felt throughout the province of Rome. This is no more so than in Tivoli, the history of which has always been linked to water: the water of the river Aniene which traverses the town, but also to the waters of the thermal springs in nearby Bagni di Tivoli. Emperor Hadrian was the first ruler to fall helplessly in love with the town, and it was here, in the twenty years between 118 and 138 A.D,...

Castelli Romani

Leaving the roar of the city traffic behind us, we travel along the ancient Via Appia and Via Tuscolana roads southeast of the Italian capital to reach a series of ancient towns, better known as the Castelli Romani. The "Roman Castles" are comprised of sixteen historic hill towns, immersed in a landscape of lakes and woods which, since the times of the Empire, when the nobility of Rome built some of their most sumptuous out-of-town retreats here, have been admired for their immense...

Lakes, miracles and fairytales

What do the lakes of Bolsena and Bracciano have in common, other than their location in Lazio and their volcanic origin? Firstly there is the size of the lakes (the perimeter of Lake Bolsena measures some 43kms, that of Lake Bracciano 32 kms); secondly, the presence of ancient settlements, built by the Etruscans and, later, by the Ancient Romans; thirdly, the unspoilt nature of a lakeside perfect for trekking; and, finally, water which is both clean enough to drink and ideal for any number...

In Lazio, tracing the Etruscans

Before it was inhabited by the ancient Romans, central Italy, and in particular the regions of Tuscany and Lazio, were populated by the Etruscans: a highly developed civilisation the traces of whose artistic talent and architectural ingenuity can still be seen to this very day, in a number of fascinating archaeological sites. The ancient Etruscan burial grounds are, arguably, the most impressive of all these, and in particular the necropoli of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, both of which awarded...

Circeo and the Pontine islands

Half way between Anzio and Gaeta, Lazio's Circeo is an area in which, over just a few square kilometers, a staggering variety of geological features can be seen: enchanting beaches, steep cliffs, ancient caves, lakes inhabited by numerous bird species, lush woods and unforgettable islands. All protected within the National Park of Circeo. And tracing the coastline, a succession of watch towers, erected so as to defend the area from attack by the Saracen pirates. Our itinerary commences in...

Exploring the Eternal City

A tour of the Eternal City might easily begin with a visit to one of symbols of Italy's capital city, the Colosseum. Also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, this impressive structure was built in the 1st century A.D, by the emperors of the Flavia dynasty. A few meters away, on the Colle Oppio, lies the Domus Aurea, residence of the Emperor Nero and, next to the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, gateway which leads to the Imperial Forum, heart of ancient Rome. From here we proceed to Piazza...
