Restaurant + Bar

Local tradition meets contemporary sensibility.

Aquaromana is Vigna Caio's main dining room, open to both guests and the public from breakfast through dinner. Chef Daniele Diglio draws on seasonal, sustainable ingredients for a menu rooted in local tradition, with a contemporary sensibility, all of it enjoyed with views over Lake Bracciano. Vigna Caio's bar is a natural spot for an aperitivo, with a cocktail list built around Italian classics like the Negroni, Dry Martini, Campari Spritz, and Bellini, all of them prepared with good spirits and a light creative touch. A wine list of over seventy labels spans Italy's key regions, with rare vintages and boutique producers represented alongside guidance from the team on pairings. It's the perfect balance of tradition and quality, with a touch of la dolce vita.
  • Vibe
    The simplicity of the Italian countryside meets world-class hospitality, with a volcanic lake and a castle on the doorstep.
  • Who's it for?
    We love Vigna Caio for couples and honeymooners looking for an authentic Italian experience away from the tourist circuit. The combination of lake views, a hilltop spa, Chef Daniele Diglio's seasonal kitchen, and easy access to Rome makes it a compelling alternative to a city stay, while wellness travelers will greatly enjoy the spa's facilities. Food and wine enthusiasts will appreciate the seventy-label wine list and locally rooted menu at Aquaromana, and nature lovers will love the trails in the surrounding countryside that connect the charming villages. For intimate weddings and private events, the estate's natural beauty and seclusion make it a natural fit.
  • Location
    Vigna Caio sits just forty minutes from Rome, overlooking Lake Bracciano, a volcanic lake ringed by hills and the cobbled streets of the historic town center. Odescalchi Castle, one of the best-preserved in Europe, is open for private tours and events. Nature trails, boat excursions, and local food and wine fill out the days, and Rome is easily reachable for a day trip.
