Luxury Holidays Lazio
Lazio is a magical region, and not only because the eternal city of Rome lies within its bounds. It is a magical land that will continue to delight lovers of art, the countryside, lakes, the sea and mountains. It seems hard to imagine a more colourful setting, a place where great civilisations have met and merged. Being the homeland first of the Etruscans, then the Romans, Lazio is an ancient land where traces of its past can be found in every corner of its varied and multi-coloured stunning landscapes. History, archaeology, architecture and art all merge in harmony in the ancient regions of Sabina and Ciociaria, in the castles, lakes and the Apennine hills that characterise the whole area.
The region’s parks and nature reserves also bear testimony to the importance of protecting the local environment, already fortunate in being blessed with splendid lakes and the beaches and rolling cliffs of the Tyrrhenian Sea coastline.
The eternal city has even managed to conquer time, to tame and adapt it, and thereby keep alive the unforgettable atmosphere of the Italian “La Dolce vita”.
