The sumptuous Villa Lante lies just a few kilometers west of Viterbo in northern Lazio – about 80 kilometers north of Rome. The villa lies at the foot of the Cimini mountains, perched atop the medieval village of Bagnaia – founded in 963 A.D. and long known as a place of rest and refuge, and especially as a summer residence for bishops.

Bagnaia can be reached on the historic Roma – Viterbo railway, which makes a memorable entrance into the village, crossing a deep valley only to burough under the Villa Lante before reaching Bagnaia station.

Villa Lante is open every day except Monday from 8:30 to 5:30 and admission costs just 2 Euros per person. The villa closes one hour earlier from November through February.

Enjoy your journey!
