Castelli Romani

Wine and hill towns

Frascati, Castel Gandolfo and the volcanic lakes.

The Castelli Romani are a cluster of hill towns in the Alban Hills south of Rome, set among volcanic lakes, vineyards, and the woods of the regional park. Frascati is famous for its DOC wine and Tuscolan villas, Castel Gandolfo for the papal palace overlooking Lake Albano, while Ariccia and Nemi offer porchetta, wild strawberries, and lake views. They are the ideal destination for a food, wine, and landscape tour, very convenient to explore by private transfer from town to town.
