WHEN IN ROME
We know that Rome is a long way to come to our wedding so we have put this section together in case you want to make a holiday out of it too! Borgo Di Tragliata for us is a perfect wedding venue and we are going to have 3 wonderful days there. But beyond our 3 organised days there is so much to see and do in this area. So we have put this together to help you see the best of the area!
Visit Lake Bracciano
For a few chilled out days remain at Borgo after the wedding. Check out Lake Bracciano very close to Borgo di Tragliata. Lake Bracciano is the second largest lake in the region and one of the major lakes of Italy. It has a circular perimeter of approximately 32 km. Three towns border the lake, Bracciano, Anguillara and Trevignano Romano. Bracciano & Anguillara are both only 20 mins away from the Borgo. Taxis can be arranged to these towns directly from Borgo di Tragliata approx. €40.
Bracciano is famous for the main monument its castle, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, one of the most noteworthy examples of Renaissance military architecture in Italy. This castle is famous for hosting the elaborate wedding of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise in 2006!
Anguillara nestles on a small cape on the coast of the Lake Bracciano; its medieval centre and its beach make it a popular destination for tourists. Try out some water sports or enjoy the views from the street cafes.
Visit Rome
Rome (45mins from Borgo) is often described as the most fascinating city in Italy – which makes it probably the most fascinating city in the world! If Rome is the Eternal City, it is also a city with no end of ruins. It's impossible to see all of the temples and monuments from previous empires, try as you might, so begin with the Pantheon, the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica and The Vatican and also check out the beautiful Trevi Fountain and see how far you get.
Not only can you see the amazing sights but check out the fabulous restaurants and the beautiful wine.
Visit the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast has been declared one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites for its undisputed beauty and the uniqueness of its natural landscape. Undisputedly one of the most beautiful coastlines in Italy, with large hanging cliff tops, turquoise blue waters, rugged coastlines, hidden coves and romantic beaches.Steeped in culture and history, these chic and charming towns must be seen to be believed!
For holidays along the Amalfi Coast check out the destinations of Sorrento, Amalfi, Maiori, Positano, Ravello and Scala. The Amalfi Coast can be reached by train from Rome Termini to Naples approx. 1hr and the resorts can be reached by bus, taxi and trains.
Visit Sperlonga
Sperlonga is a beautiful seaside town to the south of Rome, accessible by public transport. Located halfway between Rome and Naples. Whitewashed houses are clustered together on a steep headland, the streets warren-like stairways that bring you to unexpected terraces above the sea. The small coastal town enchants you with its endlessly long sandy beach and its picturesque Old Town, which sits enthroned upon a rock above the sea. Beyond the harbour stretches an exquisite length of beach, with gorgeously clean sand and water. The centro storico with its winding, small terraced alleys is for pedestrians only – fine restaurants, cosy bars and small stores invite you to linger.
To get to Sperlonga, take a train from Termini Station to Fondi-Sperlonga station.
Tour Italy
Italy is a wonderful country, take time to research and see it. Most major cities can be reached from Rome Termini station. This station is approx. 40 minutes drive from Borgo di Tragliata. The Borgo will arrange minibus or taxi to Rome Termini whenever required - just ask!
