Description
Frascati is the most famous town in the Roman countryside, with its wonderful villas, charming alleys, good food and wine, romantic spots…
In Grottaferrata, the richest and most elegant town of Castelli Romani, you can visit a unique Byzantine-Greek abbey founded in 1004 A.D.
Rocca Priora is the highest hill of Castelli Romani. It’s a forgotten gem unknown to tourists, with its medieval castle, ancient church and breathtaking views (it stands at 768 metres above sea level!)
Enjoy a rare walking tour through the alleys of these splendid towns. It’s not so easy to reach them from Rome by bus without a guide, so this is a very precious opportunity. We can’t wait to take you there by car!
