Palombara Sabina
The gateway to the Lucretili mountains, with the sulphur springs of the Sabina underneath.
10 days outthe nearest is a 54 min drive from Rome
Palombara sits where the Sabina hills begin, close enough to Rome to be an easy morning. The Orsini castle stands over the town and the Lucretili park starts immediately behind it — limestone ridges, tracks and the abbey of San Giovanni in Argentella down in the valley.
The hot springs at Cretone are a few minutes away, open-air and warm all year, and the unsurfaced roads through the hills are the reason the off-road people come here.
