WHY GO?
If you've already been to Rome, a weekend in Tuscia is like stepping into another world: slower, quieter, and deeply authentic. Just a couple of hours from the capital, this underrated region between Lazio and Tuscany offers the perfect antidote to crowds and chaos: natural hot springs, medieval charm, ancient Etruscan wonders, and incredibly genuine local culture.
Begin your journey in Tarquinia, where you can walk among UNESCO-listed Etruscan tombs, their vivid wall paintings offering a rare, intimate glimpse into a mysterious civilization that predates Rome itself. For anyone fascinated by ancient cultures and archaeology, this is a treasure trove.
Next we head to, Viterbo, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval towns, where time seems to move differently. Wander the cobbled alleys of San Pellegrino, Europe’s largest intact medieval quarter, and explore the stunning Palazzo dei Papi, once home to 13th-century papal conclaves. The atmosphere is untouched, rich with stories, yet still under the radar of mass tourism.
We cap it off, by heading to Saturnia, where the Cascate del Mulino flows freely, day and night. These warm, turquoise waterfalls are not only completely free to enjoy, but also steeped in history — the same healing waters were used by the Etruscans and Romans thousands of years ago. If you're a lover of thermal baths, this alone is worth the trip.
Between these stops, indulge in seasonal local food, rustic wines, and the warmth of a region that still lives in rhythm with nature and tradition.
So if you're yearning for something authentic, peaceful, and soul-nourishing, this corner of Tuscia is your perfect weekend escape — especially if you’re in love with hot springs, history, and the beauty of places that haven't lost their roots.
