Vitorchiano: the peperino-stone village in the Cimina forest

Vitorchiano is listed among Italy's most beautiful villages. It is built entirely from peperino, the local grey volcanic stone, and sits at the heart of the "Cimina forest", historically a rival of nearby Viterbo.

A compact old town

Narrow lanes, stone arches and small squares make for a quick but dense visit: it pairs well with Bagnaia and Villa Lante in the same afternoon.

The historic core is pedestrian-only: park outside the walls and continue on foot.
