The area surrounding Linda’s Retreat is a charming part of Lazio, where nature, history, and traditions exist in perfect harmony. Just a few minutes from the retreat, you can explore the archaeological site of Lucus Feroniae, an ancient Roman center featuring temples, a forum, and the impressive Villa dei Volusii, renowned for its well-preserved mosaics.
Nearby, the Ducal Castle of Orsini, located in the historic village of Fiano Romano, stands out with its Renaissance architecture and currently hosts exhibitions and cultural events. Not far away, the Church of Santo Stefano Protomartire houses valuable sacred artworks, including paintings from the school of Pinturicchio.
This region is ideal for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation: the Nazzano Tevere-Farfa Nature Reserve stretches along the bends of the Tiber River, offering scenic trails, birdwatching opportunities, and peaceful boat rides. Mount Soratte, with its hiking paths and the Hermitage of San Silvestro nestled in the rock, presents breathtaking views and a profound sense of tranquility.
In the vicinity, you can discover authentic villages that remain largely untouched by mass tourism, such as Capena, Nazzano, and Sant’Oreste, each with its own identity, slower pace, and vibrant traditions. Here, you can still partake in local festivals, visit farms, taste local wine and olive oil, or simply enjoy the silence of the countryside.
This corner of Lazio is an ideal destination for those seeking genuine experiences away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by ancient history, authentic flavors, and nature that encourages slowing down and taking a deep breath.
