Italy is the country of the "pervasive museum", there is no corner that does not suddenly reveal a few pleasant surprises: it is almost impossible to accurately list all the artistic and natural beauty that surrounds us. Therefore, we are only going to make a few suggestions of some possible destinations for tourism in the Roman province starting from Holiday Home Sant'Oreste on Soratte.

Rome is about an hour away by train which takes you into the city centre at Piazza del Popolo. The eternal city has the greatest concentration of historical and architectural landmarks in the world. The historic centre within the Aurelian walls contains the vestiges of nearly three thousand years of history ...

Vatican City the heart of Christianity, is an independent state located in the centre of the capital. Millions of visitors come from all over the world to listen to the words of the Holy Father Pope Francis and to enjoy the masterpieces in the small city: from the magnificent basilica of St. Peter with Bernini's colonnade to the splendid Sistine Chapel thanks to Michelangelo and the Rooms of Raphael in the Vatican Museums ...

The Mount Soratte Reserve extends to the mountain from which it takes its name and from the top of which you can see as far as the Tyrrhenian Sea. Numerous hiking trails such as those of the retreats testify to the strong religious connotation of the place through the centuries. Mount Soratte is home to the Soratte Bunker, a complex of 4 km of military tunnels dug during World War II and used as a fallout shelter during the Cold War.
