This Day Trip in Rome's Countryside will take you through scenic landscapes inhabited since ancient Roman times and allow you to stroll through some of the small historic towns such as Castel Gandolfo overlooking Lake Albano and situated about 30 kilometres south-east of Rome, and is best known as the summer residence of the Pope. The origins of the city date back to the 16th Century BC. The Summer residence of the popes, together with the adjacent Barberini Palace, which houses Bernini's masterpieces designed by Carlo Maderno, are the perfect examples of the Italian Baroque and Renaissance. The whole residence is surrounded by the Imperial villa's gardens with an artificial grotto of the crater lakes.
If you fancy, a stop for a wine tasting and a tour of a local winery can be arranged; and you may want to enjoy a taste of the Roman culinary specialties in a typical country trattoria.
