Set up in 1988, the Monterano Nature Reserve protects one of the most representative and unspoilt areas of the "Tuscia Romana" between the Tolfa and Sabatini mountains (covered by another protected area).
Wooded hills, volcanic gorges with typical vegetation and rare ferns, meadows and pastures with their typical plants and animals, crossed by a river, the Mignone, designated as one of the Sites of Community Importance representing the natural heritage of the entire European Union as part of the Nature 2000 Network.
The protected area includes the remains of the fascinating "dead city" of Monterano, abandoned in the early nineteenth century, on a spur of tuff between Tolfa mountains and Lake Bracciano. Is no accident that the area has hosted the set for famous films set in the past, of Ben-Hur (1959) with Charlton Heston in the cricket Marquis (1981) with Alberto Sordi.
The "dead" city of Monterano with its stately mansion, aqueduct soaring on audacious arches, splendid lion fountain by Bernini, San Bonaventura monastery and other more humble dwellings often built on earlier Etruscan remains is not just of great historical and archaeological interest, but also highly evocative. Thanks to the Reserve, this extraordinarily rich cultural heritage is currently undergoing conservative restoration to combat the inexorable degradation of time.

Hotel San Giorgio

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect restaurant was fabulous "

Hotel Miraggio

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely setting, close to beach and restaurants, quiet getaway from bustling city. Only downside is difficulty with transport due to work stoppage strikes during our stay causing us to pay a high price for a taxi to get there rather than the bus as we had planned. Early morning bus the next day was running so we were able to get to the airport on time. They do offer a shuttle but it is also expensive and must be reserved in advance."

Palazzo Alibrandi

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this property! Not only do the hosts go out of their way to assist you with everything that you could possibly need during your stay (car service, restaurant recommendation etc), but when unexpected travel delays occurred our hosts made sure we would have access to the property and an easy check in at 3am! Thank you so much - we WILL be back!! "

Villa Delle Palme

10/10 Excellent

"Probably the most amazing hotel, me and my wife I’ve ever been to. We came to this hotel to start off our honeymoon and without our knowledge, upon arriving, they had upgraded our room stock the mini fridge and left a congratulation note! We had to stop in town for a little bit after checkout and they let us leave our luggage there so we didn’t have to track it around the city with us. We are also Americans so we didn’t have the proper outlet to plug into the wall so after going downstairs, they were able to lend us a European adapter for the lenght of our stay! Hands-down 10 out of 10 experience we will return next time we are in Ital!"
