The medieval hill-top town of Gallese is just a few minutes away by car or on foot from the “Agriturismo Giulia di Gallese” . The town is dominated by the Duke’s Castle, designed by Sangallo, and is enclosed within solid high walls, with a myriad of alleys and narrow streets within just waiting to be explored.
The “Agriturismo Giulia di Gallese” is the ideal base for trips to Rome, Viterbo, Umbria, Lake Bolsena and the amazingly unspoilt countryside and sweet old towns in the area, known locally as "Tuscia". A land with Etruscan roots, going way back before the Romans.
Gallese is close to many attractions for the perfect day out. Famous Italian towns such as Assisi and Perugia, Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto, Civita di Bagnoregia, Tuscania and Bracciano. Gardens and areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as Villa Lante in Bagnaia, Lake Bolsena, Tivoli and the famous “Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo”. Sites of archaeogical and historical interest, like Falerii Novi, Viterbo, local towns reflecting the former glory of the Farnese family and the Monaldesche castles. For those of a more energetic nature, you can explore the old Via Francigena, the hills of Umbria and Tuscany or the Cimini mountains. Or you can opt for a relaxing day at the local hot springs in Viterbo at the Terme dei Papi or at the various local lakes or even the sea, just over an hour away.
