The Experience

Beyond Rome — Appian Way Escape

Leave behind the crowds of central Rome and travel back in time along one of the oldest roads in the world.

This experience follows a path that Romans have loved for centuries: escaping the busy city in search of fresh air, open landscapes and a slower rhythm of life.

Aboard Nando, our 1979 Fiat 900, you'll journey through the Roman countryside and discover a side of Rome that many visitors never see.

Along the way, we'll explore ancient villas, forgotten mausoleums and archaeological remains scattered across the landscape of the Appian Way — one of the oldest and most fascinating areas of the city.

It is a journey through history, nature and storytelling, revealing a Rome that feels surprisingly peaceful despite being only minutes from the city center.
