Why Trevignano is the right place for a couple's weekend

Looking for a romantic getaway near Rome? Trevignano Romano is one of the best choices: a medieval village on Lake Bracciano, just 30 minutes from the capital, with stone alleys, sunsets over the lake, fish restaurants and a peaceful atmosphere that feels timeless. No traffic, no crowds, just the two of you and the village.

La Casetta del Borgo is a studio with naval-style exposed beams, a bio-fireplace, a double bed and a porthole bathroom. It's inside the historic centre, 50 metres from the lake. Prices from €37/night, 4.87★ on Airbnb.

The perfect weekend in 48 hours

Friday evening

Arrival from Rome in late afternoon. Check-in with Marco or Sofia, a walk to the lake to watch the sunset, dinner featuring lake fish at one of the village's historic restaurants.

Saturday morning

Breakfast at Bar La Vela on the lakefront. Walk through the medieval village, climb to the Clock Tower, visit the Etruscan Museum.

Saturday afternoon

Trip to the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano (15 minutes by car). Back for sunset aperitivo on the Trevignano lakefront.

Saturday evening

Romantic dinner at a restaurant with a lake view. Back to the Casetta: bio-fireplace lit, a glass of wine, the village's evening all to yourselves.

Sunday morning

A slow breakfast, kayak or SUP on the lake (season permitting), lunch at a fish trattoria.

Sunday afternoon

A last walk along the lakefront, check-out by 10:00 — or, even better, a full day at the lake if you book for 3 nights.

The perfect nest for a couple

  • Bio-fireplace for winter evenings.
  • Comfortable double bed and fresh linen on every arrival.
  • Full kitchen if you want to cook an intimate dinner.
  • Fast Wi-Fi and smart TV.
  • Air conditioning for the summer.
  • Bathroom with a porthole, because it's lovely to sleep inside a tiny boat.

Check-in is always in person with Marco and Sofia, as Italian law requires.
