We love Lazio because it lets you build a holiday like a menu. Our tip: pick a campsite for the mood you want, then add day trips as courses. Fancy history with a beach finish? Stay at Camping Club Degli Amici, walk 150 m through the pines and over the wooden bridge to the sand, and spend a morning among the Etruscan tombs of Cerveteri, 45 km from Rome. Want city and pool in one? Camping hu Fabulous Village and Camping Baia Holiday Roma Capitol put you close to Rome, with lagoon pools waiting after a day at the Colosseum. Our other tip is to treat Rome as a morning mission: go early, see the big sights on foot, and keep the afternoon for the pool. Lake Bracciano is our favourite quiet day out, with swimming, canoeing and sailing beneath the castle, and a train link to Rome. Finish any day with supplì and a glass of Castelli Romani wine. It is the easiest way to taste Lazio.
