General
Lake Bolsena is the largest of Italy’s volcanic lakes boasting a 40 kilometre circumference. It is surrounded by a ring of fertile hills, black sandy beaches, backed by trees, and is dotted with characterful fish restaurants. It is a land of muted sounds and vast panoramas.
At the top of one of these green hills is La Montagnola, an English-owned house that has been completely renovated.
The house has two floors and is divided into two separate accommodations: the upper floor for the owners, and the lower floor, with private pathway leading to an independent entrance, is for our clients. The focus of the house is of course the lake and fabulous views of it abound from almost every window (all of which have insect screens), but especially from the glorious pool (with furnished gazebo) and the shaded outside area. And for those you have children, there's also an outdoor childrens play area.
Location
The nearest town for shops and essentials such as banks, and chemists, is Gradoli five kilometres away. But within a twenty minutes drive are the lakeside villages/towns of Bolsena and Capodimonte, this last one being the most picturesque of the lakeside villages, set on a promontory with an octagonal 16th century castle looking out over the lake’s two small islands. Orvieto and the A1 autostrada, leading to Rome or Florence, are about
45 minutes away. Unmade driveway leads across fields to electric gates, after which ample parking. Shared swimming pool measures 14m x 7m and 1.2m deep. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and the house’s interior is modern but homely. Furnished outside area with gas barbecue leads to main entrance.
