This little village out of Rome is perfect to spend a Sunday day out or a week-end. Extremely peaceful and home to many artists Calcata will make your stay a lovely one.

There is a lot to see in calcata. Firstly the houses are carved in rocks and is an entertainment to taste the awesome Italian cuisine, definetly worth a visit. However parking is scarce!

Calcata is a small almost ghost-borough in the roman countryside, worth a visit for the amazing view and the small, narrow streets you can walk through. Just few people live there (almost artists) who take care of it. You can't park in but have to leave your car at the new calcata village parking and follow the path "historical walk" to reach the old site. You will take about 1 hour to walk it all and have a chance to have a nice meal in one of the several small restaurants.

I'd seen a few articles about this place, describing it as a charming hill-top village rescued from dereliction by an artistic colony in the seventies but it's frankly not worth even a slight detour. It's grungy, shabby and graffiti strewn. Given it's perfect location, perched high over the valley with spectacular views and the potential of it's old houses and narrow cobbled lanes it could be pleasant without being gentrified. If the residents have artistic sensibilities then why not spruce it up in an interesting way- after all the whole place would fit in Times Square? Although there were several places to eat, none looked at all inviting and in a couple of places the owner/manager hovering in the doorway was actually discouraging. What a contrast to Civita di Bagnoregio - also a village close to having been abandoned - where all the eateries looked worth a try.[see Trip Advisor review] Perhaps Calcata can just about get away with it on a sunny weekend in the summer when nearby Rome disgorges it's millions for country breaks but on a drizzly April day it had only the grim appeal of Alcatraz. It is a mystery how Swimchicksmom took two hours to tour the village unless she was crawling on hands and knees as some kind of penance.

Tried driving to calcata from I pini campsite fiano Romano,had to turn round 6km from calcata back to I pini,due to the bad road surface, I have never seen a road as bad as this in the UK,had to slow down to walking pace in places and I still could not avoid the potholes,if you want to visit calcata I suggest you drive there in a suitable vehicle a 4x4, my car a Toyota avensis tourer with 55 profile tyres is unsuitable for these unrepaired Italian roads.

Despite is kind hard to get there, it worths to visit. The city is preserved how it was in the medieval times and its on a rock! And the views from the corners of the rock are awesome!
To get there we picked a bus from Saxa Rubra in Rome.

The town of Calcata is a gem of a secret medieval town filled with artists and creative types and has quite an interesting past, something to do with an embarrassing relic that disappeared in the late 1970's. This town was destined for destruction in the 1960's when a group of hippies and creative types petitioned the Italian government to save the town, and they got permission to save it, occupy it, and that is how it came to be an Artist's town. In spite of it falling down along some of the perimeter, much of the town is intact today. You can walk along the perimeter walls and see where parts have fallen into the Ravine, don't go to close to the edges. We had the best Espresso ever in this town, as you enter it look to the right for the coffee shop. As we wondered the town we found many Artists stores, and lots of interesting things to look at. This is a very unique place and you won't see many tourists here!

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Rome for 3 or more nights. It was not easy to get to Calcata from the centre of Rome because we were not familiar with the train and metro system. You have to take a metro train to Flaminio and then a train to Saxo Rubra followed by a bus (pullman) to Calcata (platform 2). It take arouns 1hr15 minutes to get there, depending on the bus and trains schedules.

This little ancient town is situated on the top of a cliff, at about 50km away from Rome. It can be reached from the main road which leads to Bracciano Lake. Is an interesting place to visit for a relaxing evening. Stunning view !

This once abandoned ghost town, perched up in the cliffs between valleys is worth the 50km drive from rome. The city itself feels like something out of a movie, with cobbled streets and hidden walkways that lead to individual lookouts to the river a hundred meters below. Inhabited now by many artists and hippies, the town also boasts many restaurants with fantastic views. ( It reminds me of "The Dying City" another town in italy which is worth checking out around an hour and half from rome) There is a fantastic sweets bakery/ cake shop & local produce venders within the towns walls that are worth checking out. Before you head there have a read up on it's history. I look forward yo going back in the summer months.

salve a tutti. Ho trovato questo paradiso su internet perché vorremmo andarci all'immacolata. Arriviamo lì con la macchina e vorrei sapere se in questo periodo dell'anno è consigliabile andarci (parlando anche del freddo), se ci sono strade pericolose da fare con la macchina per arrivarci visto che da poco sia io che il mi ragazzo abbiamo la patente e guidiamo es strade strette, non recintante... penso sia stata chiara.

Scusa se rispondo ora, strada fattibile, raggiunto il luogo con navigatore senza troppi problemi. Consiglio ad oggi di aspettare un paio di mesi per andare, ora poco sole e molto umido. All'inizio del percorso nel bosco abbiamo lasciato il passeggino, si può fare la passeggiata con stivaletti, alcuni punti i bambini vanno per mano. Non consigliato il passeggino all'interno, vicino le cascate. Luci e flora spettacolari! Una bella giornata fuori porta!
Portare macchina fotografica buona, ci sono angoli meravigliosi! Aria pulitissima! Abiti da scampagnata

Il percorso per raggiungere Calcata é percorribile da un disabile in carrozzina elettrica? È il paesino é accessibile?
Written August 22, 2015
Salve,
Con la macchina si può raggiungere comodamente il borgo.
L'unico problema è che il borgo è ztl.
In realtà i non residenti devono lasciare la macchina fuori dal paese e poi entrare a piedi.
In carrozzina non credo sia molto agevole anche perché la pavimentazione è tipo sanpietrino.
Spero di esserle stato utile.
