Car Hire in Rieti Dt - Mini guide to Rieti Dt

Perched atop a small hilltop, Rieti commands breathtaking views over the small lakes of Ripasottile and Cantalice. As the original home to the Sabine nation, this region has a rich and colourful history. While many of the town’s ancient monuments have been lost, Reiti has possibly one of the most romantic landscapes of Italy.

The town square, Piazzo San Rufo, is considered by many to be the geographical centre of Italy. Visitors can take in sights including: Rieti’s 800-year-old cathedral, the Palazzo Vescovile (the Bishop’s Palace) and Santa Maria in Vescovio, an 8th century church.

While Rieti offers visitors interesting sights, fine dining and accommodation, many visitors prefer to use the town as a base for exploring the region, including Rome which is only one hour’s drive. Italy’s capital draws visitors in with its rich history, museums and opportunities for shopping.

However, for those preferring to get away from the hustle and bustle, consider a visit to Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Reserve Park, a short drive from Rieti. The Laga mountain range offers wide panoramic views from its snowy summits. Its high woods and deep canyons are home to a range of wildlife including eagles and wolves. Its springs and rivers are home to both shrimp and trout.

No trip to Italy could be complete without a traditional, pampering Roman bath. Nearby Cotilia, home of the pre-Roman Sanctuary at Cotilia, features sacred thermal baths. Flavian emperors, looking for the ultimate in luxury created sumptuous facilities, including magnificent villas. The modern site welcomes visitors with a range of treatments including mud baths and hydro-massage.

To get the most from any trip to Italy, car hire is a must as it allows for independent exploration of this Mediterranean peninsula. Cars can be hired in Rieti from: Piazza Della Repubblica,7.
