Leaving the Eternal City behind, enjoy the serene beauty of the Lazio countryside, with rolling hills, vineyards, cultivated fields, and picturesque medieval villages perfect for memorable photos.
Arrive at the enchanting hilltop village of Civita di Bagnoregio, founded over 2,500 years ago by the Etruscans and accessible only by a striking 300-meter pedestrian bridge. Discover artisan shops, stone houses, the Church of San Donato, the Bishop’s Palace, and a historic mill, all wrapped in a timeless atmosphere. During Christmas, the village hosts a magical living Nativity that brings ancient traditions beautifully to life.

Continue your journey to the captivating Etruscan city of Orvieto, where history unfolds across centuries in a breathtaking natural setting atop a volcanic tuff cliff. Flourishing between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, the city became an important artistic and commercial center whose legacy still shapes its timeless charm.
Beneath the streets lies a hidden underground world of tunnels, wells, and ancient cellars carved into the rock, adding mystery and fascination to every visit. This remarkable harmony between nature and architecture is beautifully expressed in the city’s historic wells and monuments. The highlight is the magnificent Orvieto Cathedral, one of Italy’s greatest medieval masterpieces, adorned with mosaics, sculptures, and artistic treasures created over nearly three centuries.
