The Ciociaria region is within easy reach of both Rome and Naples and their respective airports. A day's shopping in Rome is a common pastime, while an even shorter drive brings one to the charming beaches south of Rome. Alternatively, drive east and the mountains of the Abruzzo National Park await with horse trekking in the magnificent beech forests and sparkling mountain lakes and rivers where one can swim in the heat of the summer. At the other extreme of temperature, although Alvito itself is reasonably temperate, an hour's drive brings you to the winter ski slopes. Often overlooked, both by tourists and by those foreigners in search of an Italian experience in favour of the more publicised regions of Tuscany and Umbria, the Ciociaria remains largely an unspoilt gem with beautiful scenery and medieval hilltop towns. A holiday in the Ciociaria, in the hilltop towns of Alvito, Arpino, Veroli, Alatri and in the rolling countryside that surrounds them, will afford the visitor a setting where over two thousand years of history combine with an idyllic rural Italian lifestyle, where one can still discover the 'real' Italy and take time out from the busy crowds of the larger tourist cities, while being less than two hours' journey from central Rome, Pompei, the Amalfi coast, Naples and Capri.
