Waterfront location, we booked a room with a balcony, on request staff supplied a bottle of wine so we could sit out and watch the sun go down over the lake. A nice hotel at a reasonable price. Pleasant staff.

A nice medieval small town with much to see and with a very nice, mostly car free town centre. The castle with a local museum, the churches, the ruins of the Roman predecessor town, the lakeside area and harbour are all worth a visit. Extending on both sides of the central sqare, the main street is a pedestrian zone with lots of shops and restaurants. There was even a Ferris wheel at the harbour!
There are public buses (Contral) connecting to Viterbo, Montefiascone and a number of smaller towns, and an early morning connection (Busitalia) to Orvieto. All at bargain prices, tickets can be bought at the kiosk in the town center. Even if it runs early, the bus trip to Orvieto is highly recommendable! It starts from the main square, the others from the bus stop near the post office. Only the connection to Bagnoregio, operated by a local bus contractor, did not work out as the internet schedule was wrong.
There are a number of walking paths in the vicinity - a well marked pilgrim route to Rome goes through Bolsena. We also walked a bit along the lake shore in southern direction; in northern direction, the path ends at the end of the town area.
Boat tours on the Lago di Bolsena are theoretically possible, but there seems to be no organized schedule. In summer, bathing in the lake at the beach should be nice, but at end of April, it was a bit too cold.

an ancient and intersting small typically Italian town.
an ancient and intersting small typically Italian town. Excellent places to eat and drink, friendly people and, of course, a beautiful lake. This is a place to visit for sure. Stay somewhere between 3 and 6 nights to get a proper flavour of the place.Take a walk to the top of the town (steep but worth it) and reward yourself with a glass of wine when you get to the top at one of the many excellent wine bar/delis.
Two restaurants stand out. La Francigena (for its pizza and traditional ham hock called Stinco) and La Tavernetta for its pizza and pasta with fish from the lake. They are inexpensive for the quality of food.
Drive around the lake to see the antique towns of Montefiascone and Capo de Monte. Have a walk along he promenade at Marta. Continue your circuit and have lunch at one of the lakeside restaurants near the ad hoc marina ten minutes west of Bolsena. Its a lovely way to spend a day. At Bolsena there are a number of lakeside bars and restaurants all of which are good value and a great place to unwind. The lake is very safe to swim in. It is very shallow for some distance from shore so is great for children and weak swimmers like me. Very refreshing on a hot day!!

A very charming small italian city with very attractive view of the lake at the sunset. Food in the restaurants is good and value for money is also goo there. The evening life at the square near the lake is live with several nice bars and the seatings really close to the lake so that you can even wash your feet there. Another remarkable cisty Orvietto is also in the short driving distance.

Bolsena is a lakeside small town.
Bolsena is a lakeside small town. We stopped there to relax in mid-October in route to Rome. In the summer I am certain it is bustling with vacationers but there is really nothing to do if you are not boating. The one historic site, the Rocca Fortress, was closed. Dinner in a lakeside restaurant had a lovely sunset view but the food was average.

Lovely old town with great restaurants and quirky shops.
Lovely old town with great restaurants and quirky shops. Nice promenade by the lake. Worth taking a trip round the lake by car and visit to Bagnioreggio a nearby local ancient town accessible only on foot via a bridge over a ravine.

It's one of our favourite towns in Italy.
It's one of our favourite towns in Italy. A tranquil and beautiful place, just perfect. It has an old town centre, a sparkling blue lake with beaches, lots of nice streets to just walk and the most hydrangeas I have ever seen in a single place. Countless facilities to have a good pizza or ice cream let alone beer at the beach.
Meridiiano 12 located on the hill above the lake. it”s distanced from noise of cities. We were along there and enjoyed our privacy and view to the lake. Our apartments had two floors with huge hall on the first floor and small kitchen in the closet. there is a spacious picnic area in front of the house with benches and tables. and there is a place for barbecue but we didn’t have time to use it. Recommending this place for those who love relaxing on the nature. If you need something- the city Bolsena is 8 minutes away by car.
We were happy to find out that in contrast to the information on booking.com, the apartment actually had WiFi in good quality! The location was optimal and quiet, on the alley between the town center and the lakeside. There was a nice table in the garden, although it was a bit too cold at the season to use it. Bolsena itself was really nice, quiet and clean, much to see, with bus connections to several interesting towns in the vicinity - we did not need a car for the stay.
The old building is very well refurbished, decorated, and picturesque. The breakfast was excellent, with a lot of different options, served in a very beautiful room. The staff was very helpful. We arrived there late at night, travelling by car through a very heavy storm, and the owners were waiting for us and guide us until we safely arrived, and park inside the hotel's parking.
location was perfect for both the waterside activities and the picturesque old town.
The swimming pool area was attractive and the hotel was spotlessly clean
the reception staff spoke good English and all the staff we met were friendly
the internal style of the hotel was very traditional which should not put you off as the hotel was well maintained and very clean.
Perfect apartment with fabulous views over the Lake. Gianfranco is an exceptional host. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Excellent supply of dishes and utensils for cooking and plenty of glasses for vino! I have been travelling all over Europe many times and this is one of the very best apartments I have ever stayed in for the price.
We had an exceptional stay at this wonderful Hotel. The Hotel location and grounds are stunning. The Hotel staff and facilities are first class. The food is amazing as is the genuine care and warmth from all staff. And to top it all off, the value for money for this Hotel is brilliant.. Thabk you Hotel Eden for a wonderful holiday xx
This hotel was the perfect place to relax. The hosts were so sweet and greeted us with a cappuccino at check in and gave lots of great restaurant recommendations. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool and the property, with amazing views looking over Lake Bolsena, were the perfect place to unwind.
The structure itself was wonderful, you feel like you are stepping into a part of history. The architecture was very regal and was unique compared to your standard hotel in that respect. The staff were also friendly and the position of the castle is close to everything you need in Bolsena.
We had a room and a separate bathroom, but the (very friendly, very open) owner arranged for privacy so it almost felt like an apartment. We had the use of a terrace which was a great plus. The location is very convenient, both for the old town and the lake.
Loved the proximity to Lago di Bolsena and also to the old town of Bolsena and its amenities - just 5 mins walk to both!
Apartment was quiet and beds & pillows were very comfortable. Shower and newly refurbished bathroom was lovely.
Waterfront location, we booked a room with a balcony, on request staff supplied a bottle of wine so we could sit out and watch the sun go down over the lake. A nice hotel at a reasonable price. Pleasant staff.
Just lovely and very close to the lake and to Bosena attractions but on a residential street that was very quiet. The owner made me the most delicious breakfast! She lived right next door and was helpful.
The swimming pool area is beautiful, there are plenty of loungers and it is a relaxing place to spend time. You have to wear a swimming hat in the pool but the hotel give you these for free.
Perfect central location in very historic palace. Right at the entrance of the castle, in the medieval center, and about 5 minute walk to the lake. Very nice staff.
Lovely location on the lake. Easy walking distance to quaint town of Bolsena. Clean, quiet room with Lakeview balcony. The owners are incredibly helpful.
