Surroundings and excursions:

You can call it Tuscia or Viterbese, Alto Lazio or Etruria: names that all refer to the same land, one of the most intact, fascinating, and lesser-known corners of our Italy, just 70 km from Rome. The hills, sometimes gentle and sometimes steep, run up to and beyond Lake Bolsena (the largest volcanic lake in Italy) and Lake Vico, to climb the mountains, into the green heart of the woods, and then descend among the gentle hills of the Maremma to reach the silvery sea of Tarquinia and Montalto.

Until recently, its fame was almost exclusively linked to its thermal waters (Bullicame and Terme dei Papi) or the magnificent Renaissance villas of Bagnaia, Caprarola, and Bomarzo; but in reality, each of the municipalities and perched villages offers the beauties of an ancient civilization and a rich environmental and cultural heritage.

Viterbo, a wonderful gem of the Middle Ages and an ancient City of the Popes, gathers in its alleys and then opens up in the splendor of its squares, among churches, fountains, noble palaces, and still preserves the traces of a flourishing past. A journey, in this mysterious land, that offers endless opportunities for excursions in a rich, vast, and heterogeneous environment.
