Overview

Enjoy your private trip from Rome with your English speaking driver to the heart of the Agro Falisco where the scenery offered by the Treja Valley, in particular in the point where the village of Calcata stands, is considered one of the most enchanting Lazio landscapes. Here, on a spur stretched out into the void, stands the small medieval village which kidnaps the viewer and projects them into an indefinite era, where the suggestions inspired by nature are added those of a Middle Ages magical and arcane. The historic center of Bracciano is one of the most renowned and popular villages in Lazio. The beauty of the place due to both the presence of the mighty Orsini-Odescalchi Castle and the nearby lake, offer the visitor a wide range of tourist itineraries. Routes, which will allow him to discover one of the most suggestive areas of the region. A stop for lunch is included during the day ( fees at your own expense )

What you will do

Il Borgo di Calcata
The origins of Calcata, whose very toponym remains an etymological enigma, are lost in the mists of time. Certainly inhabited during the prehistoric era, the area became an important outpost of the Faliscan civilization in pre-Roman times. A civilization that is culturally similar but not comparable to that of the Etruscan one and perhaps even more ancient.
1 h
Bracciano
The peculiar characteristic of the village consists of the houses built entirely with the local lava stone. A pleasant scenario, therefore, which must not be misleading. At night, in fact, the castle (made even more spectacular by a masterful artistic lighting) takes on a dark and dark aspect that brings it to mind as the perfect scenario of that whimsical and revolutionary era, yes, but also frivolous and violent that was the sixteenth century .
30 min
Castello Odescalchi Di Bracciano
It was built in the fifteenth century by the Orsini family, in a place where in the past there were the remains of a medieval fortress. The Bracciano Castle, whose name derives from the family that owned it since 1696, preserves splendid frescoes and period furniture inside, and for this reason it is considered one of the most elegant fortified historical residences in Italy. The suggestive village of Bracciano, which extends around the manor, creates a fascinating and romantic environment at the same time.
