The Roman castles are located in the territory of the ancient Lazio Vetus, about 30 km from Rome, they are a series of small villages scattered on a territory of volcanic origin, immersed in the green of hills, woods and lakes; there are fourteen villages rich in history, traditions and popular festivals. The origin of the name of the Roman castles dates back to the fourteenth century, when many inhabitants of Rome took refuge in the castles of Roman feudal families such as: Savelli, Annibaldi, Orsini and Colonna, to escape the economic and political difficulties caused by the Avignon Prison. The Roman castles are located on the hills, in the area of the Alban hills, a short distance from each other; this holiday day will give you the opportunity to visit the main hill towns of Nemi, Ariccia and Castel Gandolfo; in the whole area of the castles, agriculture is the main economic and employment resource, together with the production of excellent and renowned wines.

Roberto was an excellent driver and really great guy! We enjoyed getting to know him and hearing stories about the Casteli region. Unfortunately, we visited Castel Gandolfo on the a religious holiday and the villa and museum were closed, but we really enjoyed Nemi. Ariccia may have been interesting if we could have seen the Baroque museum there.

He took the time to explain the history around each one of them. He knew the vendors of every town and was patient enought to wait for us to see everything and he was always offering to take our pictures. He finished it up recommending the most wonderful restaurant in Castel Gandolfo. It was delicious. Very professional service. We are extremely pleased with this tour. Highly recommend it!!

Highly recommend this tour. Nemi was an interesting little town. But the high point was Castel Gandolfo and the one time Summer residence of the Pope. The audio guide tour was informative and the display of papal vehicles was a highlight. Our guide recommended lunch at Ristorante Pagnanelli where we a an excellent lunch while enjoying the magnificent lake view.
