The town by the lake is the perfect retreat if you’re looking for a dip without going to the beach or simply hankering for a stroll or bike ride in a beautiful destination.
It’s not Lake Como, but it’s pretty darn close since Bolsena is the largest volcanic origin lake in Europe.
It’s so big, it has two islands you can visit, one of which has a worse-for-wear convent and church just waiting to be explored.
The ‘sand’ at Bolsena is black, another tieback to its volcanic origin, and with the right license,
you can even fish its depth for the treats that can otherwise be enjoyed in its many amazing seafood lakeside restaurants.
