Benvenuti / Welcome to
Campodimele
Venturing a little further inland from Itri, there are fertile, verdant valleys with a wonderful patchwork of fields intermittently dotted with traditional old farmhouses.
The picturesque, medieval village of Campodimele is perched high on a hilltop at an altitude of 645 metres, and is encircled by formidable walls, with 12 cylindrical turrets, and ancient houses that form part of the defensive structure.
There is a path, which is known by the locals as “Lover’s Lane” which winds around the town walls, from which there are stunning views of the countryside.
