DINING WITH LOCALS IN THE ROMAN COUNTRYSIDE BY MINIVAN FROM ROME

Just 30 minutes from Rome by minivan lies Zagarolo, where your guide will accompany you to Villa delle Magnolie, a beautiful retreat nestled among the lush countryside between Zagarolo and San Cesareo.

Upon arrival, the welcoming owners will personally greet you and invite you to explore the estate, introducing you to its elegant rooms, charming spaces, and hidden corners while sharing fascinating stories, memories, and anecdotes connected to the property.

The owner is a multi-talented and well-known figure, with an impressive background as a musician, singer, director, composer, culinary journalist, publisher, and cinematography professor. Take a moment to unwind on the terrace with a refreshing aperitif in hand, admiring the breathtaking valley views while enjoying the company and stories of this fascinating artist.

After your leisurely exploration of the villa and its beautiful gardens, it’s time for the highlight of the evening—a delicious dinner inspired by traditional Roman cuisine. Savour beloved local favourites such as Carbonara, Amatriciana, oven-baked Abbacchio with potatoes, and Chicken alla Cacciatora, followed by a refreshing fruit salad or delightful gelato.

Gather around the table and enjoy an evening of laughter, conversation, authentic flavours, and warm hospitality, experiencing what it feels like to live like a Roman for a night in the peaceful surroundings of the countryside.

As the evening draws to a close, leave behind the softly illuminated countryside and make your way back towards Rome. With the delicious flavours of Roman cuisine still lingering, watch the tranquil landscape give way to the glowing city lights as you return for a peaceful and relaxing night’s rest.
