The Saint Benedict’s little lake and waterfall in Subiaco is a pond along the canyon of the Aniene river near Subiaco, Just half an hour walking from the town centre. It is a great option if you want to be in contact with nature and historic heritage since the little lake is very close to the Subiaco Benedictine monasteries and the Emperor Nero’s Villa Ruins.
The trail is just ten minutes and very easy to walk. It is very close to the Benedictine Monasteries of Subiaco and to the Emperor Nero’s Villa Ruins, so you can visit it all in one day.

W.I.P.
There is a picnic area yet without trees, so totally under the sun.
| When
In summer this place will bliss you out! Watch out: in high season, especially on weekends visitors literally rush it, so better go there on weekdays. It is pretty enjoyable in the first days of spring and the first days of Autumn, but definitely not in winter, too cold!!
| DIFFICULTY
Easy: generally in good condition. For young and elderly. N.B.
In the peak season, the access to the lake is limited: due to the high number of visitors, the narrow spaces and for security reasons, the managing authority can limit the access to the site. If you want to be sure to be allowed to enter and skip the line, book a tour with us!
