About this property

Between Rome and Siena, charming stone house carefully restored in a magnificent flowery and well-kept garden. The house is situated on a hill which overhangs Lake Bolsena with a breathtaking view. Perfect base to visit Lazio, the South of Tuscany and Umbria. The house has a large living room with an open kitchen, a large double room, a bathroom, a large patio terrace to eat “al fresco” under a pergola shaded by roses and a stone barbecue. The swimming pool, opened from May till September, is fitted with a pool house, shower and deckchairs. The property is peaceful, surrounded by wooden hills and olive trees. The house is within easy walking distance of the village. Bolsena is a charming medieval village with its picturesque narrow streets. On the shores of the lake, typical trattorias invite you to enjoy the dolce vita and to experience local specialities. The place is absolutely peaceful and offers perfect relax and many excursions in the surrounding areas. Do not miss Bolsena’s medieval district, the walk on the ancient mediaeval walls and the Basilica Santa Cristina. Join a boat tour to spot the islands Bisentina and Martana or rent a private boat for a fantastic day on the water. At a short distance, visit the spectacular scenery of Civita di Bagnoregio (the “dying city”) and its rocky creeks, enjoy the Val d’Orcia cultural landscape (listed among UNESCO’s World Heritage) and the fairy-tale Orvieto. We will be delighted to welcome you, to share with you our heaven corner and to help you to discover our beautiful region !

The Perfect Stay

Many thanks to Laurence and Aldo for a wonderful week. Comfortable cottage, stunningly beautiful gardens, great pool, a 20min walk into beautiful Bolsena and good restaurants. We were made to feel incredibly welcome (including by the hospitable gardener Mario) but were given our privacy. The memories of sitting eating lunch on the terrace taking in the breathtaking views will be very long lasting. :) p.s. thoroughly recommend hiring electric bikes for a ride around the lake.

Wonderful stay near Bolsena

We had a relaxing 2 weeks as the guests of Aldo and Laurence, who were so helpful and informative about the area. The olive oil from their trees, homemade jam and cake made with lemons from the garden, were delicious. Thank you Laurence! The house was perfect for 2 people, with a lovely traditional Italian feel. To wake up to such a beautiful view of the lake across olive groves every morning was wonderful. Mario keeps the extensive gardens in excellent order and was so kind and helpful to us during our stay. The pool was a good size and in beautiful surroundings with opportunities for sun and shade and with more views of the lake. It was hard to tear ourselves away but we did love Bolsena old town which is very pretty. You do really need a car as it is quite a walk to the town. There is however plenty of free parking below and above the castle. There were lots of good restaurants, bars and cafes, with friendly people. Also little shops to buy small presents. Our tiny amount of Italian came in handy as only a little English is spoken. There are lovely little beaches along the lake side, the best are out of town. There are plenty of places to visit, though we didn't do as much as we thought as it was so nice to sit in the garden and read and take in the view. Hopefully we can return and explore further. All in all a very relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.

Perfection of peaceful, rural location with spectacular views

Firstly we were warmly welcomed to Aldo & Laurence place then showed around the extensive garden, swimming pool, cottage and the views of Bolsena Lake. Everything felt perfect and immediately comfortable. Bed and pillows gave us a great night sleep every night. There were three very friendly cats which didn't pester too much at all and we enjoyed their company when they were there. The Pool area was superb with good shelter if you wanted it and the Sun shines on the pool virtually all day. If you want to eat at the cottage then there is everything you need for food preparation and utensils etc.. The BBQ is great to use and a good size too. Bolsena Town is just a 2 minute drive down the hill and has plenty of places to eat and drink both inside or out. Basically we ate all meals outside the cottage in the shade of the climbing roses overhead looking at the stunning views of the countryside and the glorious Bolsena Lake. Such tranquility all day every day. Everyone in the small town were friendly and very helpful in translation when required. To be honest, I would love to keep this place secret for my Wife & I but I would gladly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a holiday where they can relax, unwind and re-charge. This is a place where we hope to re-visit in the future......

Second to None😊

The cottage is absolutely amazing. Great view over the Bolsena Lake. The surroundings are fantastic, quiet and the most well maintained garden we have seen in 25 years renting houses in Italy. The owner of the property, were staying in their own house next to the cottage, but we still had 100 % privacy in our house/pool area. Excellent hosts. We will be back😊

Die Erwartungen mehr als übertroffen!

Vom herzlichen Empfang bis zur herzlichen Verabschiedung durch die Eigentümer haben wir jeden Moment genossen. Das Haus ist mit vielen liebevollen Details neu renoviert, der Pool für eine abendliche Schwimmrunde nach einem Ausflug eine Erholung. Der Garten wunderschön gepflegt und blüht in allen Farben. Vor dem Haus zu sitzen und das Panorama auf den See zu genießen ist spektakulär. Das Haus und die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Auf das Wohlfühlen der Gäste wird sehr viel Wert gelegt. Ich würde 10 Punkte vergeben, wenn es möglich wäre 👍 Danke an Laurence, Aldo und Mario für die wunderschöne Zeit 🤗
