Area Campagna

The area where the B&B Sole Mio is located is a true treasure trove of history, nature, and culture. Situated on Colle Barberetti in Velletri, it lies at the southern edge of the Castelli Romani and just a few kilometers from the Agro Pontino. This region captivates with its diverse landscapes, nestled between gentle volcanic hills and the expanse of the plain, amidst the tranquility of forests and the echoes of ancient civilizations.

The Castelli Romani provides an exceptional historical and environmental backdrop. The lakes of Nemi and Castel Gandolfo, formed within the crater of the Vulcano Laziale, are enchanting sites that were once dedicated to the worship of Diana and Juno Sospita. Trails such as the Via Sacra lead to Monte Cavo, an ancient site of Latin rituals, while Monte Tuscolo preserves the remains of a Hellenistic theater along with breathtaking views of Rome. Further along, Monte Artemisio shelters the ruins of Castel D’Ariano, enveloped in greenery.

Numerous villages are worth visiting for their architecture and timeless atmosphere. Artena, with its cobblestone streets accessible only on foot or by mule, Norba and Cori with their majestic cyclopean walls, as well as Segni, Giulianello, and the charming Sermoneta with the Caetani Castle. The gardens of Ninfa, regarded as some of the most beautiful in the world, provide a romantic experience among medieval ruins and lush vegetation. Each town houses museums, abbeys, frescoed churches, traditions, and remnants of a past that intertwines with daily life.

Culinarily, the region is renowned for its wine production, especially the DOC Colli Lanuvini and Cesanese del Piglio, along with a cuisine that highlights local ingredients. Homemade bread, seasonal vegetables, porchetta, cheeses, and extra virgin olive oil reflect a vibrant and genuine agrarian culture.

For sports and outdoor enthusiasts, there are endless opportunities: nature walks, scenic cycling paths, canoeing on the lakes, paragliding, swimming, horseback riding, or ultralight flying. Spiritual paths like the southern branch of the Via Francigena also traverse these areas, carrying centuries of pilgrimages and journeys of discovery.

Within a few kilometers, one can explore noble palaces and historic villas designed by Renaissance and Baroque architects, such as those of the Barberini, Colonna, Aldobrandini, and Odescalchi families, many of which are often open to the public for exhibitions, visits, and cultural events.

The proximity to Rome, reachable in under an hour, enhances this destination's appeal, allowing for a blend of days immersed in nature and local history with visits to the capital and its unparalleled artistic heritage.

Colle Barberetti and its surroundings are the ideal place for those looking to reconnect with a slower pace of life, authenticity, and a deep connection to the memory of the land. It is a destination that surprises, enchants, and invites return visits.
