Best place to escape the summer heat. Drive time is under 1.5 hours. 'Togo' is the name of a modest hotel right beside the ski lifts. The best restaurant is La Sella del Vento (T-0765 24183). Ask us for other close high places for summer days.

My favorite of the natural volcanic lakes of Lazio. The Western shore is wild and wonderful in winter. Capodimente is a charming little place with fine lake side walks under the Plane trees.

Arts & Culture
One of the finest and oldest abbeys in Europe, yet little known. It was already 300 years old when Charlemagne visited in the year 800. The church is free but to really see the place do the guided tour (fee) in Italian. Just so you start with the guide you can lag behind and enjoy everything.

Around Rieti are 4 wonderful abbeys that figured hugely in the life of Saint Francisco. Edward can give you ideas on which one/s to visit. Walled Rieti itself is also quite lovely with some splendid little restaurants on unexpected side streets.
