Perched on top of a rocky outcrop is the beautiful and breathtaking village of Calcata . With fantastic views of a wooded valley and just thirty miles from the great city of Rome, Calcata makes an ideal day-trip for those looking for a destination off the beaten path.

After Calcata was abandoned in the 1930s, artists and creatives from Italy and around the globe flocked to the hill town and made it their home. They successfully brought the ancient village back to life, restoring ruins and giving it a bohemian atmosphere it didn't have before. The town can be easily explored in a day with incredible views, wonderful architecture, and welcoming locals that make the trip memorable.
