Step into a slower, more magical Italy on this curated day trip through the hidden gems of northern Lazio, where hilltop villages, quiet ruins, and volcanic lakes create a landscape suspended in time. Begin in Sant’Angelo, known as Il Paese delle Fiabe, the “Fairy Tale Town,” where colorful murals, playful statues, and painted walls transform the village into a living storybook, delighting both children and adults with scenes of Little Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio, and Hansel and Gretel. Continue to Celleno, an abandoned village perched on a dramatic cliff, where crumbling towers, stone alleyways, and panoramic views evoke a poetic sense of nostalgia; your guide will reveal how the town was reclaimed by nature and is now being rediscovered by artists and visitors seeking authenticity. Conclude the day in Montefiascone, a medieval town overlooking Lake Bolsena, where you can climb the Rocca dei Papi, stroll cobblestone streets, and learn the legend behind the famous white wine Est! with the option to enjoy a wine tasting or lakeside aperitivo to toast a day of history, beauty, and whimsical discovery. Designed for curious travelers, this tour offers the forgotten, the whimsical, and the wonderfully human, all with comfort, care, and the freedom to personalize.

Sant’Angelo Village feels like a fairytale come true. It’s a charming village decorated with beautiful, fairytale-inspired street art that makes every walk a pleasure. The road leading there is stunning and adds to the overall experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Kaspars

A must visit experience, a true art gallery. Magnificent artistry.
Steve

Nice little Italian village with many many fairy tale themed murals painted on buildings. A hill walk, but definitely worth a little detour and hour stop!
Martin

Over 50 amazing street art. We were impressed by the quantity and quality. Everything is like a 500m walk. The topics are mostly fary tales and children stories. Defenetly worth a trip if you are in the area.

Absolutely magical! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sant'Angelo, the fairy tale village (Sant'Angelo di Roccalvecce), is a hidden gem that stepping into feels like walking straight into a storybook. The map guided us flawlessly through the charming, narrow streets, each turn revealing another breathtaking mural of beloved fairy tales. From Alice in Wonderland to Puss in Boots and Don Quixote, the artwork is not only stunningly beautiful but has also breathed new life into this historic village, transforming it into an open-air museum. It's the perfect destination for families, art lovers, or anyone seeking a truly unique and whimsical experience. The village itself is perched in a picturesque part of Italy, offering lovely views and a tranquil atmosphere far from the hustle and bustle. We easily spent hours wandering, taking photos, and simply soaking in the magical ambiance. The initiative to revitalize the village through art is inspiring, and the result is a place that sparks joy and wonder in visitors of all ages. Don't miss the chance to discover this enchanting corner of the world – it's an unforgettable experience!
