Monte Compatri, a charming medieval village located in the province of Rome, is a hidden gem in the heart of the Castelli Romani Park. Surrounded by lush nature and overlooking rolling hills, this charming town is all gathered around its small historic center.
This picturesque location has much to offer visitors, but its real treasure is the ancient Monastery of San Silvestro, a hermitage that inspires quiet and spirituality. This sacred place has been a retreat point for monks seeking prayer and contemplation for centuries.
The historic center of Monte Compatri is divided into five distinct districts, each with its own unique personality and charm. Along the narrow stone streets one can admire historic houses dating back to the medieval period, many of which have old cellars dug into the tuff below. These cellars are testaments to the village’s wine and food tradition and now house renowned local wine producers.
