This daily excursion is crafted for travelers seeking relaxation, scenic views, good food, and wine. You will explore the charm of two small medieval towns in the Umbria and Lazio regions, with their castles, towers, churches, and palaces, where life moves at a gentle pace. The drive from Rome to these towns and between the villages, passing through lush greenery, is truly charming, calming, and peaceful.
It's an opportunity to savor authentic Italian cold cuts, wine, olive oil, and grilled bread known as "bruschetta"! Upon request, we can also arrange a wine tasting experience to make the day trip even more memorable.

1Civita di Bagnoregio
This charming little town was founded by Etruscans around 2500 years ago on top of a hill formed by “tufah” stone. The area must have been really different in those days. The natural erosion and earthquakes have really changed the town a lot less space on the hilltop than it originally had. In 1695 one of those earthquakes destroyed the sort of natural bridge that linked Civita to the bugger nearby the town of Bagnoregio. The natural erosion hasn't stopped and the sides of the hill keep crumbling down therefore they call Civita “ the dying city”. Civita, like an island, is connected by a narrow walkway to reality and to the surrounding countryside; it takes us away, not so much in distance as in time...

2Orvieto
Founded by the Etruscan around the VII cent. b.C., the city was called VELZNA, but well known by the Romans with the name of Volsinii. It was conquered by the latter in 264 b.c. Risen during the beginning of the middle ages became a free and rich city during the XII and XIII centuries until the catastrophe of the pestilence in 1348. Became part of the Vatican State and was fortified by the Cardinal Albornoz who built the fortress in 1364 and changed little in appearance over the centuries that followed. There are many sites to visit, like the Duomo with its outstanding façade and marvels inside, the Tower of the Moor, from whose top the view is breathtaking, and the undergrounds!
