Lake Bolsena - Holidays in the Heart of Italy

Welcome to Lake Bolsena, a wonderful holiday location in the heart of Italy.

Everyone has heard of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore, but few know about the beautiful lake and historic region that lies in the heart of Italy, not far from the popular Tuscan and Umbrian tourist spots and it remains one of Italy's best kept secrets.

Located on the borders of Tuscany and Lazio, the lake is formed in the crater of an extinct volcano. The waters are crystal clear and teem with fish, and are ringed with crescents of fine volcanic sandy beaches. The capital of the Lake is Bolsena itself. Once the Etruscan settlement of Volsini and medieval town of miracles, it is famous for its gardens and annual flower festival.

We liked it so much we bought an apartment here with a splendid view of the Lake. It is comfortable and fully equipped for the overseas visitor and would make a superb base for your visit here - see it in the 'Stay at our Apartment' section of this site.
