Off the tourist trail in Italy – visit Casperia

Forget the stress of everyday life and unwind in tranquil Casperia. This tiny village is nestled in the stunning Sabine hills, Italy. Escape from the 21st century, with pedestrianized streets and castle like, medieval architecture.

You won’t find hypermarkets or convenience stores in this region of Italy. Food is organic and seasonal, foraged from the surrounding hills or farmed from the local fields. The cuisine is delicious and fresh. Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and wild streams, it’s no wonder that the isolated village is long standing home to popular yoga retreats.

Fully embrace the off-the-beaten track experience. Take walks, do yoga and return home refreshed, rejuvenated (and with a slightly expanded waist line). Switch off your technology and stress fuelled mind, knowing that you’re just a 1hr drive from the buzz and excitement of the city of Rome.

With the Vatican, Coliseum and trevi fountain just 60 minutes away, many people make villages like Casperia their base, visiting Rome during the day time. Returning in the evening allows relaxation without the overcrowded conditions found in prime tourist locations. Unarguably, the city of Rome has so much to offer.a, eat fantastic food and return home refreshed, rejuvenated (and with a slightly expanded waist line). Switch off your technology and stress fuelled mind, knowing that you’re just a 1hr drive from the buzz and excitement of the city of Rome.
