Overview

Escape the chaotic Rome and discover the beauties that the picturesque countryside of the Roman Castles offers you with our VIP private tour.
Located in the south-east of the capital, they are part of a natural park called the Roman Castles. The beauty of the landscapes (volcanic lakes, lush forests, etc.), the goodness of the wine - famous throughout the world - and other culinary delights, make them one of the most irresistible places to spend your holidays in Italy.
Leaving the city of Rome behind, the tour will include the visit of a series of small paradises that climb the hills: Frascati, Grottaferrata, Marino, Castel Gandolfo and Ariccia.
You will enjoy a free pick-up/drop-off service from/to your accommodation by one of our drivers, a luxury car at your disposal throughout the tour, just for you and a gourmet lunch in a typical Castelli Romani restaurant.

    Marino

    Then we move on to Marino, a small wine capital where, during the traditional Grape Festival in October, wine flows from the seventeenth-century Fontana dei Mori. "Le fontane che danno vino" (The Fountains that give wine), as the Roman folk song says, is dedicated to the trip to the Castles on the occasion of the Grape Festival. The city of Marino rests on a vast network of caves, some communicating with each other, which are located about 12 meters below the road surface and develop for tens of kilometres in the subsoil of the Old Town. Their history is ancient: they were dug into the volcanic tuff to obtain building material already in the medieval period. The town of Marino flanks “Via dei Laghi” and is located on the crater occupied by Lake Albano. With a walk through the city, you can visit the Basilica of San Barnaba, at the centre of which stands a decorated nineteenth-century fountain. On the wide Piazza Garibaldi, you can see the small seventeenth-century church of S. Maria delle Grazie and the convent of the Suore domenicane. Built-in the seventeenth century, it incorporates the church of the Madonna del Rosario, with a circular plan and one of the most interesting rococo furnishings in Lazio. Famous is its Ciambella al Mosto, which can be tasted during the grape harvest.
