The Lago di Bolsena, situated between Florence and Rome, is one of the largest crater lakes in Europe (114km).

With its clear, clean water the lake is ideal for swimming, sailing and surfing.

The breathtaking countryside, friendliness of the people, and many - seemingly unchanged - ancient village, make this a most interesting and enjoyable holiday destination!

Easily reachable is the nature-reserve Monte Rufeno, the picturesque village Torre Alfina and the Middle-Age village Acquapendente.

Other attractions in the surrounding area include:
  • visiting Orvieto, Rome, Siena, Florence etc..
  • exploring the Monsterpark in Bomarzo
  • Civita di Bagnoregio (a romantic ancient village on a cliff, reachable only on foot via a bridge)
  • Villa Lante in Bagnaia (a magnificent Renaissance Castle), the Tarot-Garden of Niki De Saint Phalle
  • the ancient Etruscan Graves and the Museum in Tarquinia
  • a boat-trip to the Bisentina Island on the Bolsena lake, (once the Summer residence of the Pope)

Of a particularly nice attraction are also the hot Springs found in the area, for instance those at Saturnia, or going for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea - a 1 hour drive away.

The area offers an abundance of joy for all nature lovers, including hikers, bike riders and those who enjoy various water sports.
