Dónde: Garden of Ninfa and Sermoneta

On a day trip from Rome, Ninfa and Sermoneta are seen in a hurry: the garden in the morning, the castle in the afternoon and back. With a night inside the village of Sermoneta, Saturday ends in a private spa in a fifteenth-century house and a stroll through the empty stone streets, and Sunday is left for Norba, a truffle lunch facing the castle and, in season, a tasting among vineyards in the Cori countryside.

## How do you get there from Rome?

By car, about an hour and a quarter along the SS148 Pontina towards Latina; the garden has free parking. Without a car, trains from Roma Termini towards Naples via Latina stop at Latina Scalo, and from there you continue by taxi. If you come from Spain, fly to Rome (Fiumicino or Ciampino) and hire a car at the airport.
