Nature tourism, among parks, lakes, and caves

Lazio is a region that, thanks to the diversity of its territory, boasts the presence of lakes, mountain reliefs, beaches, and extensive wooded areas.
 Among our main suggestions are the Simbruini Mountains, guardians of Lazio's largest natural park, which, with an area of over thirty thousand hectares, host diverse fauna and offer the possibility of practicing sports such as rowing, rafting, trekking, cycling, and horse riding. Moving further south, towards Latina, you'll find one of Lazio's most beautiful villages: San Felice Circeo. A small town with many reasons to be visited: from the Circeo promontory, whose shape is linked to numerous legends, to the Circeo National Park, passing through Grotta del Fossellone and the various paths that climb up to the summit of Circeo at six hundred meters above sea level.

Discovering medieval villages

Another type of itinerary we suggest involves discovering the wonderful small medieval villages present in Lazio. Dominating this particular ranking is the Palazzo Farnese of Caprarola, in the province of Viterbo, a lavish Renaissance building with frescoed rooms and gardens that are in no way inferior to other, more famous royal palaces. The Monastery of San Benedetto in Subiaco, a small village in the province of Rome, is another gem of the Lazio territory and is unique in its kind as the ancient Benedictine monastery is nestled in the rock of Monte Taleo and contains within it the first and therefore oldest depiction of Saint Francis of Assisi.
