Overview

Anguillara Sabazia is a popular lake side town, 45 minutes north of Rome on the shores of Lake Bracciano, Human settlements here dates back to the Neolithic period (5500 BC). The town was built by the Romans and takes its name from an ancient Roman villa called “Angularia” due to the right angle shape of the coast where it was built on a triangular promontory which stretches out into the lake.

This town, like the others around the lake has a 'Lungo Lago' cycling and walking path which on Saturdays or Sundays depending on the time of year, becomes a market where the locals go to buy locally made products.

Since the town is so close to Rome, many Romans come here to enjoy an 'apperativo', cocktail or lakeside lunch or dinner to escape the city. Numerous restaurants and bars look out on the crystal clear 'Lake Bracciano,' which is a transparent volcanic lake, which also offers nice swimming opportunities.

There are many reasons to come and explore Anguillar and Lake Bracciano, although the town also has an interesting history
linked for centuries to the family of the “Anguillaras”. The family remained until 1488, and afterwards the property passed form hand to hand until the long ownership of Orsini family, then the Grillo family in 1693 and then to the Dukes Doria D’Angri Eboli in 1872.

In the recent past Angullara is a fast-growing town and a popular touristic destination, not only for the weekend but also for long stay tourism (both in summer season and for cultural and natural itineraries during the rest of the year).

We recommend visiting the town during the morning, late afternoons or evenings, for in the middle of the afternoon many places can be closed during the time of year, although the town always offers some nice walking opportunities anytime of day!

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement.

They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]

In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists.

I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n ... [Read More]

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They k ... [Read More]
