Access

Parco della Caffarella is located in the southern part of Rome, between the Via Appia Antica and Via Latina. I recommend parking on the Via Appia and entering through the main gate of the Caffarella. Public Transport: metro Line A, station Furio Camillo (1). From there it is a 2 km walk to the pond.
