More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air‑conditioned car into a cobbled piazza where Viterbo’s medieval roofs press close and the air smells faintly of mineral springs. The chauffeur opens a door and the day stretches: thermal pools that steam lazily, a crater lake’s wind that pushes light across the surface, and a finger of tuff rock bearing a village that appears to defy gravity.
