Things Lauri & Laurens like to do around here:

  • Sunbathe by the lake with a good book. You can pretty much put your towel anywhere around the lake — it’s allowed.

  • Rent a boat. No boat license needed.

  • For the sporty people: go for a run around the lake.

  • Do a bike tour around the lake. Try to stay as close to the lake as possible. A few parts are on asphalt, but most of it is very worth it! It’s about 50 km, but it’s quite heavy, so don’t underestimate it ;-)

    Best to make it a full-day adventure, wit lunch, drink and swimming stops. We usually rent mountain bikes at Angolo Bike Shop in Bolsena. Message them in advance to reserve one.

  • Go for a walk / hike. Put on your walking shoes and go be one with nature for a bit.

  • Visit cute little towns nearby. Our favourites are: — Tuscania, Pitigliano, Sorano, Sovana, Bolsena, Civita di Bagnoregio (very beautiful, but also: a lot of walking — wear proper shoes) and Montefiascone.

  • Visit a slightly bigger city: Viterbo, Orvieto.

  • Take a day trip to Rome About 1.5 hours by car.

  • Take a day trip to Perugia Also about 1.5 hours away.

  • Eat ridiculously well! Honestly, you have to put in serious effort to eat badly in Italy. We usually just check Google reviews. Booking ahead is often a good idea.

  • Have an Aperol on a sunny terrace. This is not optional ;-)

  • Practice the art of dolce far niente - also known as: doing absolutely nothing and calling it a lifestyle. As you should!
