With something for all ages, this itinerary includes engaging outdoor activities and wine with a view.
Make your way
Begin your Monti Prenestini adventure by harvesting your own food at La Manderà Agriturismo outside of Rocca di Cave. Each season brings its own activities, whether digging potatoes in the summer or harvesting asparagus in the spring. Stop and talk to the heritage breed donkeys on the way back to lunch, where you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
In the afternoon, head up to Monte Guadagnolo for horseback riding on windswept mountain trails at the Agromnia Montagna Cavalli Ranch.
Learn more about the forest and grassland you rode through at the Museo Naturalistico in Capranica Prenestina, featuring brand new dioramas that illustrate the ecology of each habitat type in the region.
For younger kids, head to Castel San Pietro Romano’s panoramic playground, where parents can enjoy the view while their children play.
Just down the hill is the Trattoria del Giardino Panoramico di Dantimi Lucia, a family-run restaurant that has something for every member of the family.
