Bracciano: Odescalchi Castle and the lakeside village

The towers of Odescalchi Castle rise above Bracciano and its lake. Explore historic rooms, frescoes, furnishings and collections of arms in one of Lazio's major Renaissance residences, then walk through the old town to a lake viewpoint. This history-filled outing is about 40 km by road from central Rome.

A private car and driver take you from your Rome accommodation and back. Allow roughly two hours for the castle and views, plus an hour in town. Standard admission requires a ticket; optional guided visits are included on Sundays and public holidays. Private events can change opening times, so check the calendar before travelling.

Admission and lunch are separate from transport. Restaurants in town are independent suggestions; confirm menus and availability directly.
