Castelli Romani
About the destination
The Castelli Romani crown an extinct volcano south-east of Rome, a patchwork of vineyards, chestnut woods and elegant hill towns overlooking two crater lakes. Frascati pours its famous golden white wine beneath the frescoed halls of Villa Aldobrandini. Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence for centuries, gazes over the deep waters of Lake Albano and now opens its Barberini Gardens to visitors. Ariccia draws pilgrims of porchetta to its rustic fraschette, while Nemi guards its tiny lake and wild-strawberry fame. From Ciampino, this whole world of long lunches and cool air is barely a quarter of an hour away.

When to visit
Seasonal notes & events
Autumn is the season of grape and chestnut harvests, with lively sagre in every village. Spring is glorious around the lakes, and the altitude keeps summers cooler than central Rome. Genzano's June Infiorata, when streets are carpeted in flower petals, is a spectacular local tradition.
