Description
Depart Rome for a full-day tour along the ancient Via Cassia, passing medieval villages, volcanic terrain, and sites with Etruscan tombs near Viterbo, the “City of the Popes.” Your private pick-up begins the journey through areas around Sutri, featuring a rock-cut amphitheatre older than Rome’s Colosseum. These villages played a significant role in the formation of the Papal State during the Middle Ages.
Next, visit natural thermal springs near Viterbo, historically frequented by Etruscan nobles, Roman consuls, popes, and artists. Here you can relax in outdoor pools surrounded by nature, immersing yourself in a tradition of bathing that spans thousands of years.
After about three hours at the springs, drive approximately 40 minutes to GodarsVillage - Meditation Farm. Set in a peaceful countryside landscape reminiscent of Tuscany or Provence, this small farm welcomes you as guests of an Italian family. Share a multi-course homemade meal prepared with seasonal ingredients from the farm and local producers.
- Courses include antipasti, first and second courses, side dishes, and dessert
- Ingredients come from the farm’s chemical-free gardens and free-ranging hens
- Taste local extra-virgin olive oil, wines, sparkling wines, cheeses, and meats from nearby farms
The experience also features a workshop demonstrating how to make authentic bruschetta and mix a classic Spritz cocktail, accompanied by stories of Italian food traditions.
GodarsVillage offers a cozy atmosphere with a fireplace in colder months or a relaxing garden setting during warmer seasons. At the end of the day, choose between a 40-minute train ride back to Rome (with drop-off at the nearby station) or a private car transfer available for an additional fee.
This small-group tour (2 to 8 guests) is designed for travelers looking to explore beyond Rome, enjoy historic thermal springs, and connect with local culture through food and nature.
