This is Italy&#8217;s largest volcanic lake. Its 43 kilometre shoreline borders both Umbria and Tuscany. Its main town &#8211; <em>Bolsena<\/em> &#8211; sits at the top of the lake in the north and is well worth a visit, with its slightly retro air. If you are there at the end of June, you&#8217;ll also be able to witness its spectacular hydrangea festival. And from Bolsena, you can enjoy a boat trip to the lake&#8217;s two islands &#8211; <em>Bisentina<\/em> and <em>Martana<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Other towns and villages around the lake well worth a stop include <em>Capodimonte<\/em> (perfect if you want to spend a few hours relaxing by the lake in one of the grassy lakeside parks) and <em>Marta<\/em>, a picturesque old fishing village. And no visit to the lake would be complete without sampling some of the region&#8217;s famous wine. <em>Montefiascone<\/em> is home to one of Lazio&#8217;s best known wines. <em>Est! Est!! Est!!!<\/em> was awarded DOC status in 1966. Sample this wine and find out more about the legend that surrounds the name at the historic <em>Leonardi cellar<\/em> on the outskirts of the town.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, this area is not just famous for its wine. This is a place for avid foodies too. The whole area is called the <em>Tuscia Viterbese<\/em> and it is also famous for its production of olive oil and for its delicious regional cuisine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Incidentally, if you want to easily get to the lake from Rome, we recommend taking the train from central Rome to by train from Rome to Montefiascone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Pompeii<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"636\" class=\"wp-image-12803\" src=\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1148753861.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1148753861.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1148753861-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1148753861-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1148753861-600x382.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Rome is full of some of the Roman Empire&#8217;s most impressive structures &#8211; the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Forum &#8211; and any trip to Rome will certainly give you a fascinating insight into Roman history. But a day trip from Rome to the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum will give you an altogether different take on Roman civilisation. For us, these ruins will provide an even more vivid impression of ancient life. The final flow of lava descended so quickly that it left 2000 people trapped in the city. The city was submerged in 6 metres of ash and pumice stone, protecting what was in it so that visitors now can explore not just its impressive temples and theatres, but the houses of relatively ordinary citizens. One of our favourite remains is the <em>House of the Vettii<\/em> in the <em>Vicolo di Mercurio<\/em>, a house that belonged not to the aristocracy but to two middle aged brothers.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Villa d&#8217;Este and Hadrian&#8217;s Villa in Tivoli<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":12804,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"675\" class=\"wp-image-12804\" src=\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_723632419.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_723632419.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_723632419-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_723632419-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_723632419-600x405.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>One of Rome&#8217;s most famous monuments is the <em>Trevi fountain<\/em>.
