Venture into Rome’s surrounding hillside for a divine day on the papal estate. Begin with a carefully crafted private tour of the Pope’s private apartments in the Apostolic Palace, before perfecting the art of cooking Italian cuisine through a hands-on cooking class using the freshest farm-to-table produce. Making use of the Pope’s very own, organic produce, indulge in a lingering lunch on the papal farm before finishing the day by exploring the meticulously maintained Barberini Gardens (which play host to their very own amphitheater) and Castel Gandolfo’s historic center.

This itinerary gives you the chance to fully soak up the Appian Way’s unique atmosphere as you make the scenic journey down its 2,400-year-old cobblestones.
