From Painted Dreams to Ghostly Stones:
A Private Experience through Sant’Angelo, Celleno & Montefiascone
Discover a gentler rhythm of travel on this private day experience through northern Lazio’s most whimsical and haunting corners—where fairy tales come to life, silence speaks through ruins, and every panorama tells a story. This journey is designed for mindful travelers seeking beauty, authenticity, and emotion.
🧚 Sant’Angelo, The Fairy Tale Village
Begin in Sant’Angelo, lovingly known as Il Paese delle Fiabe—a village transformed into a storybook. As you stroll its lanes, you’ll encounter colorful murals and life-size sculptures of beloved characters: Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, and many more. This is not a theme park but a living, breathing village—proof that art and community can renew the soul of a forgotten place.
🏚️ Celleno, the Abandoned Hamlet
Continue to Celleno Vecchio, a ghost town with ivy-covered stones, crumbling walls, and sweeping views over the Tiber Valley. Once thriving, now poetically silent, this village tells a story of resilience and transformation. Your expert guide will reveal its layers—Etruscan roots, medieval rebirth, modern abandonment—and share how artists and dreamers are giving it new life.
🍇 Montefiascone, Wine and Views Over Lake Bolsena
End your journey in Montefiascone, perched above Lake Bolsena, with its volcanic origins and medieval charm. Climb to the Rocca dei Papi, admire the frescoed churches, and taste the town’s legacy in a glass of Est! Est!! Est!!!—a wine as storied as the town itself. A lakeside aperitivo is the perfect slow finale.
🌱 This experience supports local artisans, cultural preservation, and low-impact travel. It’s ideal for those who long for the magical, the forgotten, and the deeply human, all within a day crafted with care and flexibility.
