📚 The Village of Fairy Tales – Sant’Angelo di Roccalvecce, Italy

#mediterraneanvibes 📍 Sant’Angelo di Roccalvecce, Province of Viterbo, Lazio Region, Central Italy — nestled in the hills of Tuscia, north of Rome, near Lake Bolsena Sant’Angelo di Roccalvecce is a village where walls tell stories, and fantasy walks beside you. Known as the “Paese delle Fiabe” (the village of fairy tales), this once-forgotten hamlet has been reborn through art — every house, every corner transformed into vibrant murals inspired by beloved tales from around the world. From Alice in Wonderland to Peter Pan, from Italian folklore to ancient legends, the village feels like a giant open storybook — whimsical, colorful, and quietly enchanting. What makes it even more special is the care behind it: a community project to bring life, color, and magic back into a fading place. Wandering these streets isn’t just for children — it stirs wonder in every soul that still believes in stories. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Visit in spring or early autumn for pleasant weather and fewer crowds • Perfect for families, photographers, artists, and anyone who loves fairytales • Wear comfortable shoes — the village is small but hilly and paved in stone • Don’t rush — each mural has its own details to discover slowly • Combine with a visit to Viterbo or nearby Civita di Bagnoregio #SantAngeloDiRoccalvecce #VillageOfFairyTales #PaeseDelleFiabe #HiddenLazio #MuralsOfItaly #StorybookVillage #SlowTravelItaly #ItalianMagic#travel #localguides #familytrip

Civita di Bagnoregio

Sitting on a plateau of friable volcanic tuff, Civita di Bagnoregio is frequently named “The Dying Town” because of the incessant erosion, so there’s only a handful of citizens here. The view from Bagnoregio is as impressive as you might expect. Photos don’t make justice to this gem, and a visit should be on every serious traveler of Italy. Accessing to the beautiful historic centre is made possibile only by a foot bridge, every other road is just non-existent. Inside the hamlet ou can spot lots of details from its Etruscan past and the while place is very well preserved despite a recent revival in tourism that constantly brings crowds from all over the world, and sometimes this makes local residents a little nervous when their privacy is broken. Tip: Book a night in one of the several bed and breakfasts for a very romantic trip! #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #lazio #travel #civitadibagnoregio #awesomepic
