Via dei Castagni, 61, Lariano

The cluster is on the Alban Hills, with the wooded slopes of the Colli Albani immediately around it. Lake Nemi and Lake Albano are within this area, both volcanic crater lakes in the same hill group. Much of the surrounding landscape falls inside the Parco Regionale dei Castelli Romani. Rocca di Papa, Genzano di Roma, Nemi and Albano Laziale are the nearest larger historic centres, with old town fabric, services and the usual Castelli Romani food-and-wine economy. Nemi is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for chestnut woods, volcanic terrain and the Castelli Romani hill towns.
