danhart Says: I must recommend to anyone visiting Lake Bolsena a great guidebook called "Bolsena - Everything You Need to Know" by Fleur Kinson. My wife and I found this book REALLY useful when we visited Bolsena last summer. We found restaurants and even Roman ruins that we would never...
dutchboycalledjan Says: Visit this beautiful medieval town, with its small streets, beautiful cathedral and lovely shops.
fionamcdonald Says: I found a BRILLIANT book which covers every imaginable aspect of Bolsena and the lake - the only comprehensive guide in English I could find anywhere. It gave me all sorts of insider information, suggested walks, and really made me laugh, too! It was called Bolsena...
So small it doesn't have a name.: Small budget campsite
Larinka Says: If you can find this modest campsite amongst the numerous other more signposted sites along the road to Bolsena, you will have more money to spend at the wonderful fish restaurant at the nearby lake edge.There is only a small selection of spaces to camp, with a nearby tap,...
Camping Val di Sole: Shadow in the Valley of the Sun
dutchboycalledjan Says: The camping site has grown bigger without loosing its character: open, family atmosphere, lots of shade - with many olive trees - lovely beach.We've stayed for about a week. The lots are not too large, but when you leave your car outside (which is cheaper) it is large...
La Riserva Montebello: B&B by the lake
iandsmith Says: The rooms were spacious enough with some hanging and storage space but it's clearly a summer destination with the tennis courts and pool prominently placed.The owners have other properties in the area so, if you have a group, they should be able to accommodate you. It's an...
Larinka Says: When walking along the path that circles the lake, you may come across a very unassuming seafood restaurant with tables on a sheltered patio to the right of the entrance. If so, you're lucky enough to have found a fantastic seafood restaurant which I unfortunately never...
dutchboycalledjan Says: We were searching for a pizzeria on our way to Bolsena in Buonconvento, between Siena and Bolsena. We asked a local and he directed us to Mario, were he himself would eat too. It is a small, family restaurant with delicious meals. We had different antipasta and meat courses...
dutchboycalledjan Says: Everywere in Italy the stores on the caming ground are too expensive. Only buy your daily bread, in the morning. Better visit the local shops, or better, visit a market.
iandsmith Says: Gazing out a winter window to the snow-covered boughs is a real novelty for me and I would spend minutes just marvelling at the view. At times I thought how odd it must seem to those accustomed to cold climates whereas I was in my late thirties before I ever saw snow.Thus...
iandsmith Says: Let's face it, wandering around the back streets of Italian towns is the reason half the tourists go there.I couldn't help but contemplate that, just a few kilometers down the road was the second largest church dome in Italy and yet here in Bolsena must be a candidate for...
iandsmith Says: Coming down the hill into Bolsena, you can't avoid seeing the castle on its prominent position overlooking the lake.As castles go it's only average but, if you love castles as I do, you have to pull up and have a look. Unfortunately, it was undergoing some restoration work...
iandsmith Says: I only pulled up to take a snap of the castle at Bolsena but, while wandering around, as is my habit, I noticed these delightful little chimneys poking up next to a small church.
iandsmith Says: Yes, after a hard couple of hours on the court, there's nothing quite like a dip in the pool.
iandsmith Says: Hang on, I'll just be a couple of minutes. Get this court rolled and I'll be right with you. Whose serve is it?
Not good weather for boating, or tennis, or swim..
iandsmith Says: Ah yes, the downside of snowstorms is that you have to get the stuff off your car. I actually limit myself to the windsreen as I get some perverse satisfaction of waiting for clods of the white stuff to be torn by the wind off one's car while travelling along.When your...
iandsmith Says: I wouldn't say the scenery was spectacular in the Amalfi Coast mode, but it certainly was very relaxing and pleasant and life among the olive groves and vineyards is appealing to me.This particular shot was taken in the afternoon as the last rays flashed between a gap in the...

A: Where exactly would you want to rent a bike? I mean in which village? Or I should better ask where you will come from (Rome, Orvieto, etc). Unfortunately the excellent...

I didn't mean to be here. I had sought accommodation elsewhere. Lots of places elsewhere. However, like much of Italy on my second trip, they were closed. Not yet open for the new season. Chiuso. As...
