Lazio: Vatican City
built 605 days ago
Lazio has always been a playground for Romans. Lakes to the north of the capital help make a cooling retreat from the heat of the city, and beaches in the far south are reasonably clean.

This Piano Nobile apartment in a 17th century palace is in the heart of a tiny ancient village that sits on top of a hill on the Umbria and Lazio border. Restored to all its elegance by the architect/owner this is an ideal base to explore Orvieto and Umbria, Rome and Lazio and southern Tuscany, including the city of Florence.

[T]he city of Rome is of course at the heart of Lazio's identity. From the Forum to the Pantheon, and the Imperial Baths to Vatican City, Rome is unique. Whether it is sipping a cappuccino in a lovely pavement café, or taking in the sights by one of hundreds of beautiful fountains, Rome is a city which invites special memories. Its countless churches, palaces and basilicas are second to none.
