Toffia dates back to 930AD. When you wander around the cobbled streets you see it's amazing history come alive. Nowadays Toffia is the home to just over 1,000 residents and is one of the most active and well kept medieval hilltop villages in the Sabine Hills, near Rome. This video, taken during the Toffia Summer Festival this year, gives you a taste of our beautiful and authentic village.
You stay in the heart of these ancient walls during your 3 and 5 night Italian Cooking Holidays and Culinary Vacations with Convivio Rome.
For our 2018 and 2019 Cooking Holiday dates can be found here.
More information can also be found on our Convivio Rome website.
Enjoy the video.
