Lake Vico fills a volcanic crater in the Cimini mountains, about 8 km from Caprarola. Since 2008 the nature reserve has protected the whole basin and the mountains around it, 4,109 hectares, with the beech forests of Monte Fogliano and the cone of Monte Venere. It is the place to eat outdoors after the palace: quiet shores, woods and roads with viewpoints over the water. The reserve's headquarters are on the Cassia Cimina, km 12, in Caprarola.
