Lake Nemi

Highlight • Lake

Seen from above, Lake Nemi is a small landscape "pearl". Seen from below it is no exception, and one realizes even more of what one of the craters of the ancient Latium Volcano must have been. To visit along the way the Museum of Roman Ships or the temple of Diana. The ascent to Genzano is challenging if you do it from the left side of the lake. Possibility to do the whole tour.

Lovers' Terrace, Nemi

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lovers' Terrace is a must-visit place for anyone arriving in Nemi. The spectacular view extends from the underlying lake to the sea.

The Terrace was inaugurated on 14 February 2015. It takes its name from the mythological loves of the lake valley, in particular those between Diana and Virbio and between Numa Pompilius and the Nymph Egeria.

Going down to the left, you take a path under the main street of Nemi, which leads to a kiosk bar, again with a wonderful view, and goes up on the opposite side.

To the right, instead, begins a pedestrian path or a paved road: both descend to the lake.

Monte Cavo

Highlight • Summit

Mount Cavo, with its 950 meters, is one of the peaks closest to the center of Rome. This peak, of volcanic origin, is in fact part of the Castelli Romani regional park: it can also be easily observed from some panoramic points in Rome. The summit of Monte Cavo is characterized by many antennas: the most beautiful viewpoint is 500 meters before reaching the top.

Tempesta Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

This large fountain is located in one of the main junctions of the trail system of the Colli Albani park. It is a seasonal source so the presence of water is not guaranteed all year round. It is a very suggestive place to immerse yourself in nature, despite being just a few steps from Via dei Laghi.

Nemi

Highlight • Settlement

Located almost in the center of the Alban Hills, at 521 m asl, Nemi is the second smallest municipality in the Castelli Romani area, it is known for the cultivation of strawberries to be enjoyed absolutely with cream in one of the many pastry shops in the village and for the relative festival, which takes place every year on the first Sunday of June. The historic center is located in a panoramic position on the homonymous lake, famous for having been the site of the discovery in 1927-1932 of two Roman celebratory ships of the age of Emperor Caligula, preserved in the Museum of Roman Ships until their destruction in 1944 .
Nemi has been awarded the "orange flag" by the Italian Touring Club for the excellent quality of the welcome and stay of the tourist.

Nemi Village and Lake View

Highlight • Settlement

Overlooking Diana's Mirror 🌙

You can't say you've visited the Castelli Romani without having looked out from the little wall in Nemi. From up here, the lake seems still, nestled among the dense woods that were once sacred to the goddess Diana. It's a view that conveys incredible calm. Stop for a moment, breathe in the fresh air rising from the crater, and enjoy the contrast between the red of the strawberries on the balconies and the dark blue of the water.
