The Hotel della Fortezza is situated only a few kilometres from the beautiful Bolsena Lake, a striking lake surrounded by picturesque towns which capture the splendor and charm of the Tuscia Laziale.

Bolsena Lake lies in the northern part of Lazio, in the virtual paradise of Tuscia. A landscape that is both incredibly lush and unique, Tuscia is made up of fields, woods, hills and mountains, all which band together to create a territory capable of leaving anyone in awe.

The lake, which takes its name from one of the villages nearby, has volcanic origins that are today reflected in the thin, dark sand that covers its shores. At the centre of Bolsena Lake are two small islands. Both custodians of their own fascinating stories, the island of Bisentina and Martana are definitely worth a visit.

Bolsena Lake is also known as “The Lake You Can Drink From” and is renowned for its extraordinarily clear and crystal waters perfect for swimming or water sports including sport fishing, snorkeling and kite surfing.

The beauty and charm of Bolsena Lake is continued in the interesting and enchanting towns that lie on its shores. All with ancient origins, these towns are each different from the last and include Bolsena, Marta, Capodimonte, Valentano, Montefiascone, Gradoli, Grotte di Castro, San Lorenzo Nuovo and Acquapendente.
