A lovely place overlooking Lake Bolsena with a private swimming pool !

This is not a holiday home for tourists but a guest house for friends! We were totally overwhelmed by the park-like gardens and the love that has been put into the details when refurbishing and setting up this location. The town of Bolsena is only about 1.5 km away, but, as the location is up the hill, too far to walk (unless you want to exercise). What you get in return is an absolute gorgeous view in a quite area where one can slow down and relax. We really liked sitting on our little terrace in the evening after dinner and enjoyed the view over the lake onto the surrounding landscape. Laurence and Aldo are absolutely lovely people. They, or Mario (the gardener) will always be available when you need them but will not disturb your privacy in any way. We definitely will come back!

We loved every minute of our 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.

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?

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.

The location is breathtaking, the people are lovely and very kind! It was fantastic..

Ladies, Gentlemen, This place is extraordinary. Imagine roughly 300 olive trees and amidst them a well designed and flowered park of roughly 1ha. Your house is in the centre of all this. The lawn would suit Wimbledon at its best. The owners are outstanding in discretion, helpfulness and make a serious effort to make one's stay a delight. Now to the amenities: It's perfect for two. Since this is a rather vast property, the daily presence of the gardener Mario is quite securing. One complaint here is that you can't do great cooking. To be honest, there's no need for it. Bolsena has a large palette of shops (I highly recommend pasta Fresca and the butcher at the end of the road, the Coop shop has a good selection of cheese, local vines and ham). Sitting at the terrace for breakfast and dinner offers you a daily splendor viewing the lake. Nuff said: go get it! Oh, I forgot: the pool and the shadowed space on it are sheer comfort on hot afternoons.

Have it all: Cute house , wonderfull view & lovely wimming pool We were very surprised to have this beautifull house near to the lake of Bolsena. The owners treated us as real guests when we arrived, very friendly. After that we had this lovely place all by ourselves for a whole week. It’s perfect to relax, swim, prepare a bbq, and to visit the region and places like Orvieto. We already want to come back!

Incredibly beautifully decorated house with impeccably well kept gardens. A must see/stay for Italy friends. Two things one needs to know: the garden is shared with the owners and the kitchen is ideal only for small dishes - not for someone who likes cooking extensively.

Lets keep this holiday home our little secret! Because it’s just perfect! We will surely be visiting again.
