Rome may well be the Cradle of Civilization but in the rush to visit The Eternal City the region surrounding it is often forgotten. Lazio holds a subtle appeal for the more detached or disenchanted modern traveller. Because of its location, many of the noble Romans built amazing villas in the region that surrounds the capital to have somewhere to escape to when the heat became oppressive in August. The pope was no exception and chose the mountains over the seashore. Lazio has become a fascinating region with beautiful Castles, stunning lakes with shoreline restaurants, mountains, ravines, Etruscan ruins, Roman ruins and a large national park. The seemingly unending beaches of Ostia, San Felice, Gaeta, Sabaudia and Tarquinia add the sounds of the surf to a region where every road yields a new surprise and awe inspiring view.

Lazio has long resisted outside influences and even if you don’t have a desire to explore will be entranced at every turn as you discover volcanic springs, the gardens of Tivoli, the geranium festooned whitewashed houses of Itri and Sperlonga, the isolation of Rieti. Just don’t forget to stop once in a while and enjoy the wines of Frascati and the Castelli Romani.

Unlike some regions, Lazio has a restaurant or trattoria on almost every road and in every hamlet. Romans often lake long weekends in the country and dining out is more than just a necessity, it is almost the regional pastime. Shopping in Lazio is easy and there are many outlet shops (we can recommend our favourites once you book!) selling high fashion at reduced prices. We found the shoe shops in Nepi to be almost 30% lower than those in central Rome.
