Starting

Rome is the capital city of Italy. It is also the capital of the Lazio region, the center of the City of Rome, Rome is the country's most populated comune and the third most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The Metropolitan City of Rome, with 4,355,725 residents, is the most populous metropolitan city in Italy.[2] Its metropolitan area is the third-most populous in Italy.[3] Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. Vatican City is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city. Rome is often referred to as the City of Seven Hills due to its geographic location and the "Eternal City".Rome is generally considered the "cradle of Western Christian culture and civilization" and the center of the Catholic Church.

Tour of Calcata

Calcata, in north Lazio, is a bohemian haven whose residents hark back to a more beautiful era. Less than an hour north of Rome lies Calcata, a mediaeval village clinging to a volcanic cliff surging out of the mists of the densely-wooded Treja valley. With its rugged tufa walls and steep pathways, entering this mystical, car-free hamlet is like stepping back in time or falling into a dream where Woodstock meets Hansel and Gretel. Stuff of fairytales Calcata’s story is indeed the stuff of fairytales. Its history dates back almost 3,000 years, and the presence of humans in the area can be traced to prehistoric times. However, in the 1930s, Calcata’s story nearly came to a shuddering halt. Those arriving by car will have to leave their vehicles outside the fortified gates of the 13thcentury Palazzo Baronale, the village’s only access to the outside world. Once inside, it is impossible to withdraw cash from a bank machine or even send a postcard and forget about relying on mobile phones.

Park of the Monsters Tour

The Sacro Bosco ("Sacred Grove"), colloquially called Park of the Monsters (Parco dei Mostri in Italian), also named Garden of Bomarzo, is a Mannerist monumental complex located in Bomarzo, in the province of Viterbo, in northern Lazio. The garden was created during the 16th century. The design is attributed to Pirro Ligorio, and the sculptures to Simone Moschino. Situated in a wooded valley bottom beneath the castle of Orsini, it is populated by grotesque sculptures and small buildings located among the natural vegetation. The park's name stems from the many larger-than-life sculptures, some sculpted in the bedrock, which populate this predominantly barren landscape. It was commissioned by Pier Francesco Orsini, called Vicino, a 16th-century condottiere and patron of the arts, incredibly devoted to his wife Giulia Farnese When Orsini's wife died, he created the gardens to cope with his grief.

Lunch Break

A few kilometers from Viterbo, in the small delightful village of Tuscia, via Teverina in the heart of the historic center of Bomarzo, you will have the opportunity to taste gourmet foods with typical products of the area. A perfect combination of good wine and good food, with particular attention to Tuscia products. Modern atmosphere but with a look to the past, wooden tables, minimal furniture, ceiling with exposed pipes, soft lights, windows overlooking the Tiber valley and then a delightful garden that a breathtaking view, create a fascinating and intoxicating atmosphere together, where you can take a break from the hectic daily life and finally pamper yourself a little. In the team, Chef Francesco Valeri 30 years, has worked with great starred chefs including Paolo Olivieri, Vito Mollica, Lorenzo Iozzia also a Michelin star.

Thermal Bath

Terme Dei Papi establishment is ideal for relaxing in these natural warm waters. It is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious spa facilities: its name alludes to the predilection reserved for these baths by numerous popes, starting with Gregory IX, which gave rise to the papal splendor of these baths in 1235. For this special attention reserved by the popes, the baths of Viterbo are commonly known as “Bagno del Papa” or “Terme Dei Papi.” We can not even mention these famous baths, Dante and Michelangelo, at the historical level. A monumental pool of generous proportions, covering an area of two thousand square meters and filled with hyperthermal waters with extraordinary properties. The water emerges directly from the Bullicame spring at 58 ° C and steams in the pool, jetting towards the spectacular and picturesque stone spouts. Slipping into the water is a unique sensation in the summer and winter when the surrounding park is enshrouded in the steam of its thermal waters.
