Private Day Trip to the Gardens of Ninfa and Sermoneta with Personal Guide & Driver

Escape Rome for a day of enchantment with Eva Polino or one of her expert team members, who will serve as your private guide and driver. You’ll be picked up directly from your accommodation in Rome — or, on request, from anywhere in Lazio, Umbria, or Tuscany — and taken on a serene, culturally rich journey to two of the region’s most magical destinations: the Gardens of Ninfa and the medieval hilltown of Sermoneta.

Available exclusively on weekends from April to October, this private tour is fully customized and includes luxury transportation, skip-the-line tickets, and the storytelling of a certified art and history guide.

Your experience begins in Sermoneta, a jewel of medieval architecture nestled on a limestone ridge. As you wander through its narrow alleys, admire the noble Caetani Castle and panoramic views stretching toward the Pontine plains. Learn about the powerful families, popes, and artists who once shaped its history, and enjoy a relaxed coffee or light lunch in a traditional café or trattoria in the old town.

In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the Gardens of Ninfa, often hailed as the most romantic garden in the world. Grown over the ruins of an abandoned medieval village and nurtured into a botanical paradise, Ninfa is now a protected oasis of rare plants, flowering trees, and crystal-clear streams. As you stroll through this dreamlike landscape, your guide will unveil the garden’s fascinating story — a tale of love, loss, and rebirth, now recognized as a UNESCO-listed natural monument.

Perfect for couples, garden lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking tranquility, this private day trip offers a rare chance to discover one of Italy’s most elusive and breathtaking experiences, far from the tourist crowds.
