What to do · Calcata and the Treja Valley
Mazzano Romano is the park's second village, also on tuff, halfway along the route from Monte Gelato to Calcata. Go down the Via del Lavatoio, beside the old washhouse, to the river. The park also suggests a there-and-back route between Mazzano and Calcata, the heart of the valley, shorter than the full route.

Why we like it: Three self-contained cottages with kitchen and patio in an old farmhouse in the Nepi countryside, with a saltwater pool for guests only.
Why we like it: Family-run organic farm in Civita Castellana, about 15 km from Calcata, with rooms in a farmhouse and studios in a villa with a swimming pool.
Why we like it: Guesthouse with a few rooms in a 16th-century palace in the centre of Civita Castellana, with a frescoed hall, an inner garden and a cellar cut into the tufa.
