Minimum 4 people for this trip please!
25 miles - Medium to easy difficulty.

Meet at Anguillara station (easily reached in 30 minutes from Rome). Perched on a spur above Lake Bracciano, this charming small town has been a fiefdom of both the Anguillara and the Orsini families.

You enter through a 16th-century gate, beyond which awaits a beautiful view of the lake and the ancient seat of the barony. Our ride takes us along the shores and past the village of Bracciano, which retains a Renaissance urban layout.
The Orsini-Odescalchi castle was built in the 15th century: its pentagonal shape and circular towers tell us it is actually an aristocratic residence built atop a pre-existing military structure.
Continuing toward Trevignano, we might stop for a quick swim. The lake, fed by underground tributaries, occupies a former volcanic crater and is perfect for bathers, thanks to very sophisticated civil drainage systems and strict navigation restrictions. The extremely varied aquatic fauna attracts all sorts of predators, including red kites, hawks, coots and sea gulls. Back again in Anguillara, we will relax and enjoy a special lunch based on fresh handmade pasta on a terrace overlooking the lake.

This group of seven totally different islands called the "Seven Sisters" extends between the Tuscan coast and Corsica.

Elba is the largest island and faces the gulf of Follonica just 6 miles off Piombino. It is also the most visited island and the richest in life, villages, natural beauties, historical monuments and tourism.
The other islands are: Giglio a diving paradise lying in front of the Argentario promontory;
nearby Giannutri, with its enchanting coves and suggestive remains of old Roman villas;
Capraia, an island of volcanic origin which is the closest island to Corsica;
Gorgona, a tiny isle which lies in the sea in front of Livorno;
Pianosa, a small, flat island not far from the isle of Elba; and the rocky and ragged isle of Montecristo which lies further south between Elba and the Argentario.
The last three islands have no public access: there are special prisons on Gorgona and Pianosa and therefore they can be visited only with the authorisation of the Italian Ministry of Justice. Montecristo, however, is a natural reserve that can only be visited with a special permit
