# A night in the Treja valley, an hour from Rome: the river trail, Calcata and an organic farm An hour from Rome by car: on Saturday, the Treja trail to Calcata and a night at an organic farm; on Sunday, a pasta workshop and lunch at the farm. Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lazio/calcata-treja-valley/itineraries/one-night-river-and-farm · Revisado: 2026-11-12 Dónde: Calcata and the Treja Valley The Treja valley can be seen in a day from Rome, but with a night it changes pace: you walk the river trail without watching the clock, have lunch in Calcata, sleep on an organic farm near the valley and on Sunday you put on an apron to make pasta with ancient grains. It is a getaway of countryside, boots and tables, an hour from the city. ## How do you get there from Rome? By car, about an hour along the Cassia bis or the Flaminia. There is no train to the valley and buses are scarce, so you need the car. If you come from Spain, fly to Rome (Fiumicino or Ciampino) and hire a car at the airport. For Saturday's linear route you need two cars or a taxi back to Monte Gelato. ## Where to stay?
