If you’re looking for a romantic or mini getaway, something a little more adventurous with great food and wine, then Olevano Romano is the place for you.
The Town
The Village has retained an almost intact medieval appearance with most of the houses and buildings dating from between the 14th and 15th Centuries. The town became fashionable as an artist’s retreat in the 16th and 17th century attracting many artists from Germany, France, Britain and Russia. Today the town still houses the villas of the German Arts Academy used for visiting students and there is also an active Danish Community for Artists in the summer.

TESTIMONIALS
Elena and Valerio were lovely and we enjoyed our time with them both (Valerio on the last day). Brenton enjoyed the experience in a little town as he hasn’t experienced that before. We even rode donkeys in Elena’s town up the steep roads…that was hilarious! I was ordering some coffee in a bar in town and the guy smirked cheekily as I was practising my limited Italian…then when he gave us the coffee, in perfect English he asked if it was too hot! I had a laugh with him about my accent as I’m sure that didn’t help!

Spent the past 3 days in a beautiful Italian town called Olevano Romano (thanks, Romina Izzo )
the real Italy… Only one complaint….. Steps, and steps oh and then hills and steps……
they have to use mules to get some of the building materials out of certain areas. The town is lovely and trying my hand at some Italian.
I love the language…
