Soriano nel Cimino is 45mins from Rome by train, in the centre of Italy. The castle in the middle of the village is stunning as well as the village itself.
We booked this time share exchange wondering what we might be going to and it turned out to be one of the best places we have stayed. This Mansion was built in the 15 Century and was used as a Mansion for a rich noble. It has been converted into 18 units with much of the originals paintings you see on the walls and ceilings restored.
Very night the village square is a buzz with activity nothing really gets going until about 9Pm when they come out to eat and have coffee until the wee hours. Eating out is an experience in itself as every region has it's own speciality! Porcini mushrooms and chestnuts in Soriano besides pizza that is to die for ....not to mention the gelato ( Ice cream).
Some of the beautiful wild flowers ( poppies) growing in the fields all over the country side. It is Spring so lots of flowers everywhere.
Monster Park , believed to be built by some of Micheal Angelo's students in the 15Th Century is the most unusual area of about 50 sculptures.
Ville Lante Gardens is the typical Italian, Renaissance garden....Gorgeous!
