Fumone: Olimpus of Ciociaria, is set at 800 m over sea level. From here it dominates the entire Valle del Sacco, in the north-centre of the Province of Frosinone.
It is 80 Km from Rome, 130 from Naples and only 15 km from the famous thermal place of Fiuggi.
Its very ancient origins, the castle, the tragic story of Celestino V and the wonderful landscape, make it one of the most interesting and suggestive place in Lazio.
The majestic city walls, set to defend the unassailable castle, enclose an extraordinary medieval village, which has preserved its identity, remaining perfectly untouched throughout the centuries.
The porticos, the arches, the staircases, the alleys, the smell of ancient tastes and particular corners, create such an atmosphere that brings the visitor back to the ancient time. Therefore, Fumone is a place where guests can relax, experiencing sensations and emotions which recall a world and a life of ancient times.
