Leisure time and sports:
In the immediate vicinity (7 kilometres) is Lake Bolsena, a large crater lake, whose very clean waters extend to a depth of 150 metres, offering wonderful swimming conditions, particularly on its western banks. Surfing and sailing are possible with good wind conditions, particularly in the afternoons. Boats can be rented (mostly sailing boats). If you wish, we can provide you with up to 4 mountain bikes at a cost of 30 Euros for each bike per week. Please make your request for the number of bikes that you need at the time of booking. You can go for particularly beautiful walks in the nature reserve of Monte Ruffeno, which can be reached in less than half an hour. And the chestnut and beech woods of 2000-metres high Monte Amiata, which lies mostly in Tuscany, are worth an excursion.
Culture:
All the sightseeing available in the area will leave you no time to get bored! The only problem is choosing between the many Etruscan tombs and the impressive museum in Tarquinia (60 kilometres away), and beautiful towns within a radius of about 50 kilometres, such as Todi, Viterbo and Orvieto, or smaller places like Tuscania, Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano. Please feel free to contact us at any time for further information.
Sea bathing:
Only 80 kilometers away, or a good hour´s drive along an interesting road, and you are on one of Italy´s cleanest beaches. In 2007 'L´ultima spiaggia', that is the last beach in Tuscany before the border with Lazio, was ranked in the highest category (along with only a few other beaches) by a well known environmental protection organisation. Here you can walk for hours along the beach, or enjoy delicous fish meals at a restaurant there (with table service or self service), or in the evenings, drink an aperitif as the sun sets behind Monte Argentario.
