Vicolo Malerba, 11, Capranica

The cluster sits in the Monti Sabatini, a volcanic hill area with broad wooded slopes and tufa ground. Lake Bracciano lies within this radius on the southeast side, and Lake Vico is just beyond it to the northwest. Much of the surrounding countryside is oak and chestnut woodland with farmed clearings, and the area is known for hazelnut cultivation. Sutri is the nearest historic town of note, with an old centre and the Roman amphitheatre cut into the tufa. The Palazzo Giustiniani Odescalchi at Bassano Romano is a local historic landmark.
