Holiday apartment in Soriano Nel Cimino: Beech Forest, Waterfalls and Art

A holiday apartment in Soriano Nel Cimino is a good choice for a trip that combines nature, culture and unusual details. The Faggeta di Soriano nel Cimino offers opportunities for excursions and extended walks in a natural setting; in 2017, UNESCO declared it a World Natural Heritage Site.

Forest, Water and Trails

At the summit of Monte Cimino, the beech forest extends above 1,000 metres and covers an area of more than 50 hectares. This creates a clear focus on nature when choosing accommodation: you can plan your stay around walks and excursions in an extensive forest landscape.

Parco delle Cascate di Chia has several trails, including the paths to the Cascatelle and the Sentiero dei mulini. Along the watercourse, you can see a succession of small waterfalls and the remains of old mills. The Sentiero di Pier Paolo Pasolini leads through the forest to the Torre di Chia, adding the Torre di Chia destination to the natural experience.

The Monumento Naturale di Corviano has an approximately 5-kilometre circular trail through the archaeological and natural-history area. One special individual discovery is the boulder known as Rupe Tremante: it consists of effusive igneous rock and can be made to swing using a wooden stick as a lever.

Castle, Art and Archaeology

Castello Orsini is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00; the last admission is possible 30 minutes before closing. The complex is surrounded by a continuously rising defensive walkway that runs counter-clockwise. At its highest point, the walkway is interrupted by a battlemented ravelin and a low, likewise battlemented square tower.

The Pinacoteca Palazzo Chigi-Albani is housed in the historic Scuderie di Palazzo Chigi-Albani and displays Alessio Paternesi's work “I Giardini di Piero”. A collection of 24 works was donated to the pinacoteca in Soriano Nel Cimino. This means that, alongside forest trails and watercourses, there is also a specific artistic focus available for planning your trip.

The catacombs of Sant’Eutizio date back to the 4th century AD. They contain pictorial remains, grave goods and a frescoed aedicule tomb depicting the Apostles Peter and Paul. Access to the catacombs is on the right-hand side of the crypt. The Museo Civico Archeologico dell’Agro Cimino preserves numerous materials collected over the years in the catacombs of Sant’Eutizio.
