Trilocale in Mentana

The Sabine hills rise around Palombara Sabina, with Monte Gennaro and the Monti Lucretili immediately above the town. The area falls within the Parco Naturale Regionale dei Monti Lucretili. There are mountain roads and trailheads into the Lucretili within a short drive, while the nearest major urban centre is Rome, which provides the full range of services and rail and airport connections. Tivoli is also nearby and has major historic sites, but it sits outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for olive groves and hill country on the edge between the Roman plain and the Sabine uplands.
