Castelli Romani and Lake Albano, a Full Day from Rome — You Drive
You leave from a few steps off the Colosseum and, twenty minutes later, you're in another Italy: the ancient Appian Way under your wheels, the vineyards of Frascati, the villas of popes and princes, all of Rome seen from the Tusculum lookout. One electric Méhari all to yourselves, our Castelli Romani roadbook, no one else. You drive.

Our cars are road-homologated and fitted with seat belts, and child seats can be installed: we provide them on request. Just tell us the children's ages and how many when you book.
Gina, Sophia, Claudia or Anita, our four eStorys: tell us which one you would like when you book, at no extra cost, and we will do our best to assign her to you.

Gina
White. Against the ochre walls of Rome she disappears and lets the background speak.
Sophia
Orange. At golden hour she takes the same light as the brickwork and becomes the subject.
Mechanically they are identical — only the colour differs. You can say which one you would like when you book.
Where we meet
We hand the car over on the street with the Colosseum in front of you: check-in and route briefing in fifteen minutes, then you're off.
Frequently asked
Is the experience private?
Yes. The car is yours for the whole day: no groups, no guide on board, no convoy to follow. We give you the route in writing; you set the pace.
Where do we meet?
On Via Labicana in Rome, next to Palazzo Manfredi, a five-minute walk from the Colosseum. Check-in and briefing take about fifteen minutes.
Do I need an International Driving Permit?
If your licence was issued outside the European Union, yes: you need an International Driving Permit or a sworn Italian translation, together with your original licence. The permit must be obtained in your home country before you travel.
What happens if it rains?
You go anyway, in the very car you booked: the full nautical-canvas enclosure with windows keeps the cabin dry. In genuinely bad weather we move your date or refund you in full.
Can I bring children?
Yes. Our cars are road-homologated and fitted with seat belts, and child seats can be installed: we provide them on request. Up to 4 people per car.
Can we change the itinerary?
Yes. The roadbook is a starting point and the car is yours for the whole day. At the briefing we point out the best variations — more lake, more wine, fewer ruins.
Is the wine tasting included?
No, and that is deliberate: we point you to the winery we know and, if you like, reserve a table in your name, but you pay directly on site. It keeps our price honest and leaves you free to choose.
Is the range enough for the whole loop?
The full loop is around 60-70 km and the car is handed over fully charged: the range covers the whole route, there and back, with no charging stops.
