How to move in the area : Apart Zagarolo (located just at walking distance) all the area needs a your own trasnport, your car or private bus. Public buses are available but they need a lot of waiting and a lot of time. Bikes dedicated routes are actually not available, we can not suggest to move with the bike because our local streets are not provided of a dedicated and safe bike route.
