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.
Zodiaco is a small and very cozy (in a good definition of this word) hotel in the center of Bolsena. It's really close to the Bolsena lake and there are lot of cafes/bars/restaurants around. The room size was good, they have A/C. The breakfast wasn't very reach, but there were options to choose (please, remember they have only 12 rooms) and they provided home-made cakes, croissants, coffee.
They have a small yard, so if you're lucky enough you can park your park there (I was lucky :)).
We were welcomed by friendly staff. The room we booked for 3 persons is a spatious room suitable for a family with two kids. The room is very clean. The location of this hotel is amazing. It is located right in front of lake Bolsena. You can relax in the garden of the hotel and within a few steps you can take a dive into the lake, or in the swimming pool of the hotel. You can have lunch/dinner at this hotel, but also around Bolsena there are many good places to have dinner as well.
We had a very pleasant stay at Casa Rosita, the communication with Eleonora was very easy and the house is situated in a beautiful part of Bolsena. We could reach everything by food and there are many cute bars and restaurants close by.
Also the beach is away in circa 15 minutes walking distance so we can definitely recommend this appartment to everyone who wants to spend a relaxed and nice vacation at Lago di Bolsena and we would love to come back there soon🙂
Stunning palace, full of art, artefacts and history. It was like staying in a world class museum but you had it all to yourselves!
Just amazing.
Wonderful location right in the centre of bolsena, looking out onto a pretty square with cafes and the restaurant with pretty lights below. It felt like we were in a movie!
Staff friendly and helpful. Lake for swimming a ten min walk away and the castle and town above. We loved it.
Not to be missed.
We have had a wonderful stay there. The host was very-very kind, as we have been pilgrims she offered us leg bath for our tired legs, she offered us special towels to be able to swim in the lake and we also have received some sweets for our next day walk. We are very thankful and satisfied.
Great location - easy to get around Bolsena from here - either to the lake or to the castle. Rooms and linens are clean and fresh. Fantastic terrace with view of the lake or of the castle. Head up to the terrace in the evening to watch the sunset with your favorite refreshments.
Wonderful location right on the lakefront Boulevard.
Very good breakfast with friendly and attentive wait staff.
Our room had a terrace overlooking the lake. The terrace was very large and furnished and the highlight of our stay.
It is one of the best places we have stayed in. It is right on the Via Francigena. The entire hotel is beautiful, the room is perfect and the breakfast is wonderful. The owners are so helpful and nice, it is a must stay.
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.
The location is equally convenient to both the lakeshore and the old town. The house itself is very spacious and the kitchen is well-equipped. It was a great stop on the Via Francigena.
