It nestles on a small cape on the coast of Lake Bracciano; its medieval center and its beach make it a popular destination for tourists.

About 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of the town lies the small, volcanic Lake Martignano, also popular with tourists.

Nearby at Mura di Santo Stefano about 3 km south of Lake Bracciano lie the remarkable remains of a great ancient Roman villa.

Inside the building has a central courtyard with pillars and three floors with cross vaults which have now disappeared.

The Everybody Loves Raymond fifth season two-part episode "Italy" was filmed in Anguillara Sabazia.
