Id love to hear everyone's favorite overnight day trip from Rome.
I will not have a car, so it would need to be close by train (bus if really worth it). And since its only one night, Id prefer no longer than 2 hours away. I want to get the most out of the day. I'd really love a hilltop town. Quiet, quaint. Just to relax for the day and evening. My husband and I recently went to Orvieto for 2 nights and were in LOVE. This time we will only have one night, thats why it would need to be just as convenient as Orvieto. (with the same atmosphere). Any similar towns close on the train line?
Just thought I'd share my crazy Rome story. My husband and I were just in Italy for 2 weeks (last November). During our 4 night stay in Rome, I broke my foot! Ruined 2 days in Rome, but by the time we got to Orvieto, I was able to "slowly" walk with the orthopedic shoe the hospital gave me. So now we are going back to Rome for a week to make up for all the things we missed. And we also realized that even if we didn't lose those 2 days, 4 days was no where near what was needed to see the city (and ive even been there 2 times prior). So back we go this April for 8 nights. And we feel we can spare one night in a quaint town and still get the full Rome experience.
