WHY GO

The volcanic landscape north of Rome has been carved up by the city's nobility into a chessboard of palaces and estates and is home to a number of picturesque hilltop villages. The medieval fortress village of Calcata, which peers down on a lush valley of junipers, hornbeams and hazelnut trees, was once owned by the aristocratic Massimo family. Today London-based photographer Stefano Massimo has bought up five adjoining houses in the old town and converted them into the Massimo residence, one of the few luxurious retreats available for rent in this area of northern Lazio.
