Castelli Romani
About the destination
The Castelli Romani rise on the slopes of an ancient volcano, their vineyards and chestnut woods dotted with elegant villas and medieval towns. Frascati is synonymous with its golden white wine and the sumptuous Villa Aldobrandini. Castel Gandolfo overlooks the deep-blue Lake Albano and has been the summer refuge of popes for four centuries; its Barberini Gardens are now open to visitors. Ariccia is famed for porchetta, Nemi for wild strawberries and its mysterious lake once home to Caligula's ceremonial ships. It is a landscape of long lunches, cool air and Roman weekend escapes.
About the route
Road, traffic and timing
From Fiumicino (FCO) to the Castelli Romani is about 45 km via the GRA ring road and the consular roads (Appia, Tuscolana or Anagnina) climbing into the Alban Hills. Drive time 60 minutes depending on the town. Minor tolls where the motorway is used are included in the fixed price.
Travel tips
Know before you go

When to visit

Autumn brings the grape and chestnut harvests and lively sagre (food festivals) in every town. Spring is beautiful around the lakes. Summer offers cooler air than central Rome thanks to the altitude. Genzano's Infiorata flower-carpet festival in June is a spectacular local highlight.
