Photo taken from the Palazzo Catalani Garden courtyard.  Castle Orsini is the large building at the top and it is a short walk away.

Palazzo Catalani dates back to the 1600s and it has tremendous views of the Castle Orsini.  View taken from the pool on the third level.  There are also some small gardens to explore Soriana nel Cimino and the Orsini Castle. The street to get up to the Palazzo is a tough walk but very good exercise. Palazzo at Soriano building Walking down the street away...

We later found out that there was a Medieval Festival going on in Soriano nel Cimino.  The drive from Rome only took about an hour and 15 minutes and along the way we spotted castles and old and new villas and vineyards and everything that you would expect on a drive north of Rome.  We drove around for about...
