★★★★★2 years agoIf you are visiting Rome, this is worth the bus ride. I went three times and felt I had not event scratched the surface. I saw rabbits playing together, many ruins, ripe prickly pears, large grass hoppers and a live jazz band!
Ahmad
★★★★★7 years agoUnbelievable place, wonderful nature tells the history and very attractive architecture. It's full of activities (kids playing area, gym, horses, cheeps, ... ) Very healthy environment I think it is not suitable for those tourists whom stay short period in Rome. Bit you should visit it quickly <three hours trip may be useful> See the photos below and enjoy
