I Castelli Romani

Il Duomo
This amazing cathedral is an incredible work of art and is a breath stealer when you round the corner into Piazza del Doumo. The
townsfolk are very proud of their ornate church and it is immaculately kept. It's the amazing facade of this church that captivates
you. The intricate details in the carvings tell lots of stories that are centuries old. Piazza del Doumo (0763 342 477).

Orvieto
This village is as stunning as its location is amazing. Orvieto is built on a pedestal of volcanic rock. This Umbrian town is located
121 km north of Rome. It gives the impression of a monolithic city when you approach it by car but, once up the hill of rock, you will find it to be a small, charming, cosy village with a killer view! The train is the best way to travel to Orvieto. It takes an hour from Rome and delivers you to the base of the rock. Once there you can travel up to the township on the funicular which allows you a stunning view of the Umbrian landscape.
Orvieto is a delight to walk around as it has a perfect mix of eateries, shopping, churches, squares and hoards of wine shops, all
selling the local brew which is excellent. The food and service here is very good, from the smaller cafés to some very good, classy
restaurants. A highlight of dining here and anywhere in Umbria is the wine, bottle or carafe, cheap or expensive, it doesn't matter as it all tastes incredibly good.

Nearly as stunning as the town built on a rock is the incredible church in the middle of the town on a rock.

Ostia Antica
Rome's ancient harbour is 30 minutes by train from Stazione Ostiense and gives an idea of what a Roman city was once like.

Ostia Lido

Ponza
This beautiful island is located three hours from Rome and is well worth the trip. There are lovely beaches and coves that are ideal for swimming and sunbathing. A great way to take in the delights of the island is to hire a small motorboat. Ponza is an idyllic place to have a few drinks and enjoy some antipasto delights while having a break from the museum and church hopping of Rome.
