Lago di Nemi is absolutely beautiful and its surrounding towns are so charming. I would definitely recommend the trip if you're nearby!
Lovely quaint little hillside town, with many restaurants and small local shops. Quite hilly but well worth it for the views.
A quiet oasis. The museum (Museo delle Navi Romani) of artifacts from the 1st and 2nd century AD was great and amazingly quiet and unknown (Entrance fee 6 euro). Lake Nemi itself (free of charge), which is sacred to the goddess Diana and is called "Diana's Mirror", is placid and quiet. No motor boats, very few access points (it is mostly surrounded by well-guarded private properties). We felt blessed to be there and it was the perfect escape from the intensity of the city of Rome. We did not go to the town, because we were tired of tourist areas, just hiked at the lake itself and contemplated its serenity as a pagan site of goddess worship. The excellent museum had clean bathroom facilities, and we ate a lovely lunch at a little restaurant overlooking the lake (right near the museum).
this extraordinary beautiful lake is closed to a little village which is called Nemi too and expertees in strawberries and blueberries cakes and pies . the lake is blue and looks like a mirror and the little village like a doll house . a place which you must have in your itinerary !
Our son arrived from North America a few days ago with a list of "must do's off the beaten path", so we called Lake Nemi up on the GPS and headed out .... only a short distance from Roma, this tiny town, best known for its Strawberry Festival is a beautiful breath of fresh air. So picturesque and peaceful, this tiny town nestled into the hills provides an absolutely gorgeous view of the of Lake Nemi. We stopped and had a traditional pizza and wine lunch overlooking the lake, capped off with a delicious wild strawberry tart for dessert ... and headed home. Perfect little day trip!
Da Roma abbiamo preso la cotral fino a Genzano e da lì autostop fino a Nemi.A mio parere il più bello e caratteristico dei laghi laziali. Andateci quando c'è la sagra delle fragole... L'atmosfera è unica e la vista mozzafiato :)
Panorama strabiliante in un tramonto dove dove i segmenti del crepuscolo riflettevano nelle calme acque del lago e dove pian piano tutte le luci dei paesetti che lo circondano e che andavano a sostituire i riflessi dei colori del tramonto , uno spettacolo della natura .
It's an interesting stop if you're heading towards Lago Albano. The woods around the town are very pretty and it's nice to be in a small town so close to Rome. The wood strawberries were a big item in a number of the shops, but watch for the variable price (3-5 Euro) for a tiny package.
la storia? ecco da questo lago sono state recuperate 2 navi romane appartanenti all'imperatore caligola ognuna di esse misurava circa 70 mt per 20 mt di larghezza.ma questo lago è anche famoso per l'allevamento del " coregone" un pesce salmonoide di ottimo gusto.
Il lago di Nemi è rimasto incontaminato dal turismo, è ancora un oasi naturale, costeggiata solo da orti e campi.
