Bilocale in Via del Laghetto 1

The town sits on the Colli Albani (Alban Hills), a volcanic hill range southeast of Rome. Within about 15 km are the volcanic crater lakes Lago Albano (Lake Albano) and Lago di Nemi (Lake Nemi). The cluster lies inside the Parco Regionale dei Castelli Romani (Regional Park of the Castelli Romani). There are no local ski lifts in the Alban Hills; Apennine ski areas require a longer drive. Nearest towns of size within the same hill area include Frascati (noted for its historic villas, wine production and a railway link to Rome), Albano Laziale (services and a rail station) and Castel Gandolfo (the papal summer residence and lakeshore). The area is known for viticulture and wine production; Marino holds an annual Sagra dell'Uva (grape festival). Local transport links include regional rail and road connections toward Rome and Roma–Ciampino airport.
