A 150-meter-long path cuts leads you directly to the quiet of the lake, on foot. You will be welcomed by a stretch of lawn and beach equipped for bathing, where your privacy is assured by the impenetrability of the adjacent reeds, paradise for the black bass spinning. The sandy shore gradually declines into the lake, lending to a shallow area that is well-suited for swimming, even for small children. Longue chairs ,floating beds , changing room and shower free available .A splendid "ontano" (alder), a typical lake tree, sinks its roots directly into the shore and acts as a frame for this suggestive corner of the lake. Canoe outings ( for a fee) along the reeds will allow you to bird watch the many species found on the lake, while sun worshipers can enjoy laying in the sun on the beach, or directly on the water on one of our "Malibu" floating beds.
Fishing is one of the prominent pastimes of Bolsena, and is still practiced by local fishermen who use the triangular boats and asymmetric paddles that are typical of the area. Sport fishermen can enjoy catching the particularly abundant "persico trota" (black bass spinning ), but also "persico reale" (royal perch), , "luccio" (pike), "tinca", "carpa" (carp) ,coregone and "anguilla" (eel).You can also arrive with your bassboat just to the shore of the lake directly in farmhouse . Place fantastic for bellyboat fishing along the adjacent long reeds .
The lake - the largest of volcanic origin in Italy and shiny in every corner - is exceptionally transparent thanks to the fact that large, pollution-generating industries have never settled around it. In fact, the local fishermen still use the water of the lake to cook "Sbroscia", the typical local fish soup.
"Bisentina" island is the pearl of the lake and also of Italy's artistic patrimony. Once a papal summer residence, it was recently returned to the admiring public offering guided.
