Set up in 1988, the Monterano Nature Reserve protects one of the most representative and unspoilt areas of the "Tuscia Romana" between the Tolfa and Sabatini mountains (covered by another protected area).
Wooded hills, volcanic gorges with typical vegetation and rare ferns, meadows and pastures with their typical plants and animals, crossed by a river, the Mignone, designated as one of the Sites of Community Importance representing the natural heritage of the entire European Union as part of the Nature 2000 Network.
The protected area includes the remains of the fascinating "dead city" of Monterano, abandoned in the early nineteenth century, on a spur of tuff between Tolfa mountains and Lake Bracciano. Is no accident that the area has hosted the set for famous films set in the past, of Ben-Hur (1959) with Charlton Heston in the cricket Marquis (1981) with Alberto Sordi.
The "dead" city of Monterano with its stately mansion, aqueduct soaring on audacious arches, splendid lion fountain by Bernini, San Bonaventura monastery and other more humble dwellings often built on earlier Etruscan remains is not just of great historical and archaeological interest, but also highly evocative. Thanks to the Reserve, this extraordinarily rich cultural heritage is currently undergoing conservative restoration to combat the inexorable degradation of time.

Top Canale Monterano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Traiano

10/10 Excellent

"The room is nice and clean. Shuttle available to the cruise port and back. The staff is excellent with a nice breakfast. Gianni at the front desk was very helpful and wonderful. "

7Bell's House

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here after an overnight flight from the US prior to our cruise boarding the next afternoon. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They kindly arranged a private car from the airport (shout out to Luca for his excellent service). Our room was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect with countless restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and bars within easy walking distance. The walk to our ship is 20 minutes. Highly recommend this lovely place. "

Hotel Miraggio

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extraordinary. Very accommodating and ensured we had the best stay possible. Our room wasn’t fancy however well appointed with a small fridge. Breakfast offering was perfectly fine. They even arranged for car service to the airport. Many of the surrounding restaurants had limited hours because we were there end of season but we were able to arrange for a car to and from town which was a bonus. The walking doable but took about 20 minutes on streets that could be difficult to navigate without some sort of map. "
