Bolsena was the Etruscan capital and not only has many ancient Etruscan remains, but is also surrounded by outstanding Roman and medieval architecture. A short drive north takes you into Umbria, the green heart of Italy, and through beautiful rolling countryside you arrive at Orvieto with its unique Duomo, perched on a volcanic outcrop. Close by there is also Civita di Bagnoregio the 'Dying City', so-called because of its extraordinary position on top of a crumbling outcrop which can only be reached by a pedestrian bridge which spans a deep gorge providing a view from the top which is unbelievable. Wherever you head near Bolsena you are always going to find authentic Italian cuisine and Bolsena itself has a vast array of restaurants providing dishes prepared with the very best local ingredients. Bolsena is the centre of the local area, and has a thriving market on Tuesday mornings where people flock from the surrounding areas.

Lazy Bolsena

Richard & Anne, Surrey
Review Submitted: July 12, 2008, Date of stay: June, 2008

Great centre for touring (train from Orvieto to Rome and other locations), Bolsena lovely friendly place with lots of good places to eat (try Trattoria, All Antica del Corso reasonable and v. friendly). House easy walk to Bolsena a little harder on way back after meal with wine and grappa! Good as centre for touring and using lake beach, cycling and walking. Better for eating out than self catering; garden across road for sitting in and lazy reading.

Owner's response:

Delighted the holiday was enjoyable and we do hope you will come back and stay with us again. The kitchen is getting a new oven this year, which will make preparing meals easier! Many thanks for these comments.
