ABOUT LAZIO
Lazio has a rich
historic and natural heritage which, together with a mild and sunny
climate for most of the year and a tradition of simple and wholesome
food, makes it one of the most interesting regions of Italy. In addition
to the magnificent city of Rome we advice to visit the nearby lake of
Bracciano, renaissance mansions such as Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, Villa
d'Este in Tivoli without forgetting the Roman ruins of Villa Adriana.
The lake of Bracciano has 3 charming villages, Bracciano with the famous
Odescalchi Castle, Anguillara and Trevignano (all can be reached by
ferry).
On the coast we strongly suggest to visit
the ancient city of Ostia and it's immense archaeological area (unique
in the world). Following the coast in northern direction
there are lively places as Santa
Severa and Santa Marinella or you can visit Cerveteri and Tarquinia
(with the famous Unesco heritage of the Etruscan necropolis).

ABOUT SOUTHERN UMBRIA
In Umbria, a region that has gained a name for being the green heart of
Italy, tourism is growing because of the unfamiliar harmony between
nature, antiquities, historic centres and culture. The quiet of the
countryside, good provisions and an inimitable cuisine are the great
draw.
Southern Umbria
forms an ideal starting point for enjoying the peace of the surrounding
hilly and mountainous landscape and on the other hand making trips to
beautifull towns like Todi, Orvieto, Narni, Spoleto. There are also
numerous charming little villages to visit – many of medieval origin -
as Amelia, Labro, Spello, Norcia, Bevagna, Montefalco. In many towns and
villages you can taste local dishes or buy local wines and olive oil
(generally of excellent quality). Near the
city of Terni you can also visit the Marmore falls (165 meters, one of
the highest of Europe), there is nearby also a
rafting/canoeing/hydrospeed center.
