More info

Leaving Rome we pass by the ruins of the baths of Caracalla before taking the Ancient Appian Way passing by the Chapel of "Domine Quo Vadis?". This tour takes us along the "Road of the Lakes" passing through one of the hilly areas of volcanic origin which characterize the outskirts of Roma: the Colli Albani where small villages are becoming towns, Castelgandolfo where the pope has his summer residence, Ariccia famous for its large bridge with three arches, Rocca di Papa e Grottaferrata, both noted for their culture and gastronomic delicacies. Towards the northerly part of the Colli Albani, we eventually arrive at Frascati popular with visitors both for its beauty and considerable production of wine. Here we will stop for a taste of local products and to absorb the flavour of village life. Return to, or nearby your Hotel

Additional information
