as someone who lives in the Colli -avoid driving at all costs the train will get you from Velletri ( still the old Italy few expats- actually I've never heard of a single one) to Termini within an hour - sounds a lot but it's not far it's just the train goes at the speed of a bus. Albano is also good and if you're renting these towns are on the wrong side of the hill to be expensive i.e we haven't got views of Rome. When we first came out here we stayed 3 years at the coast - grotty but very Italian- pm me if you need more info by the way I agree with English Teacher - Roman drivers take some getting used to but when you understand the way they drived, they're a damn sight better than the Belgians
