in Italy

During the warmer months, residents of Rome often leave the city behind to swim in the volcanic basin of Lake Bracciano or walk through the shaded Renaissance gardens of Villa d'Este. The surrounding Lazio region is defined by these quiet retreats, ranging from papal summer residences in the Castelli Romani to ancient Etruscan burial mounds. Relying on the local regional trains makes it straightforward to reach these hilltop villages and coastal towns in under an hour.
