"This is the perfect flat...

"This is the perfect flat for a couple looking for a romantic holiday or just a break from their busy lifestyle. The owners are very hospital and go out of their way to accommodate and help you. The flat is in close vicinity of shops and restaurants and the lake is only a short distance by bike."

Ideally located near all facilities

We throughly enjoyed our week holiday in this house built into the walls of the medieval town of Bolsena. Every thing was close at hand including more restaurants than we could eat in, a small supermarket, and other shops within a stonethrow. The bed was comfortable and an open log fire warmed us as we were out of season. It did not have wifi but it was no problem as you can piggyback on any of the restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend it to any couple looking to explore this interesting part of Italy. The only downside is that I would not recommend it to anyone not good on their feet as the stairs are steep, shiny wood and open at one side but that should be no problem for anyone wanting to go to old, fortified hilltop towns.

A perfect stay

Do you want something different? something cozy? Something unexpected? Something absolutely lovely? Me and my two daughters stayed for a week in this accommodation. The place is absolutely lovely. It felt like the owner just left and you step into a cozy house with all kind of cure furniture and decoration. That might be a little weird at the beginning, but if you embrace it your feel home really quick. The location is absolutely fantastic. In the middle of Bolsena. Supermarket next door, a nice square with an espresso bar for your morning coffee and the lovely medieval town of Bolsena as your backyard. And the walk to the lake is easy an beautiful as well. The hostess communicates really well. The minute I had booked she sent me all the details for my stay including recommendations for places to eat and drink. Also during my stay, she kindly informed if all went well. It was such nice week at a lovely location. Such a location that make you wanting to stay and live in Italy forever.

Appartement bien situé

L'appartement est très bien situé, mais forte odeur d'humidité les jours de pluie. Arrivée et départ autonomes.Le ménage avait été fait, mais pas de place pour nos affaires dans la salle de bains ni dans la chambre. La propriétaire nous a conseillé de mettre nos vêtements sur les cintres qu'elle avait laissé libres ... c'est pas facile pour les sous-vêtements ...Elle nous a conseillé d'entreposer des affaires dans la deuxième chambre (très petite), mais si nous louons 2 chambres, c'est parce que l'on souhaite profiter des 2 chambres.Pas de place dans les placards de cuisine non plus pour ranger nos provisions.Je recommande pour la position dans Bolsena, mais uniquement pour cela.

Una nicchia nel medioevo tra lago e arte

La casa in una viuzza del centro storico sotto il castrllo di Bolsena a due passi dai servizi e dal lago, è accogliente e silenziosa, in una posizione privilegiata per conoscere il circondario. Un terrazzo quadrato riparato da piante, è una gradevole risorsa che il profumo di uva fragola proveniente dal vicino pergolato arricchisce. Il carattere molto personale della casa con i molti oggetti e suppellettili raccolti fa pagare, con vantaggio a nostro avviso, un piccolo tributo allo spazio funzionale dell'appartamento, che piccolo non è, in tre persone si sta molto comodamente. In agosto bella rievocazione in costume di un episodio storico del XIV secolo. Lonscarso affollamento e la vicinanza di centri d'interesse come Orvieto ,Pitigliano e la bellezza del lago vulcanico piu grande d'Europa ,che offre molteplici scorci dal circondario, permette una vacanza inconsueta dai molti diversi stimoli.

la casa è accogliente, in posizione perfetta in centro a Bolsena, con tutti i servizi a portata di mano. l'accuratezza con cui i proprietari curano ogni particolare, indica amore. Casa fresca e pulita, con tutti i comfort, in più ho potuto coltivare la mia passione, la lettura, grazie a una libreria ben fornita.

Wundervolle Zeit in Bolsena

Wir haben sehr kurzfristig für 12 Tage eine Unterkunft gesucht und sehr viel Glück gehabt. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Obwohl unsere Vermieterin Adele nicht vor Ort war war alles gut organisiert und kein Problem. Wir wurden von einer sehr netten Nachricht begrüßt inklusive vielen nützlichen Tipps von Adele wo man gut Essen kann oder das Auto parken. Haben eine sehr schöne Zeit in Bolsena und Umgebung verbracht. Grazie Adele!

Wohnen zuhause

Nachdem man sich daran gewöhnt hat dass es sich um eine ursprünglich bewohnte Wohnung handelt, mit grossen Mengen an Dingen die halt so rumstehen, ist es sehr schön. Ausreichend Adapter für die diversen Geräte sind vorhanden. Alles funktioniert gut. Die Lage ist mitten im Dorf mit den entsprechenden Geräuschen die so etwas macht. Die Ausstattung ist gediegen italienisch. Was erwartet man anderes? Es war schön in Bolsena. Was für ein schönes Stück Erde.

Sehr schöne Wohnung, ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht!

Perfekte, zentrale Lage in einer kleinen Gasse neben einem Supermarkt und in der Nähe zu sehr guten Restaurants. Es steht außerdem ein Parkplatz zur Verfügung. Insbesondere die große Terasse hat mich überzeugt. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Haushälterin, die uns bei der Ankunft in Empfang genommen hat und kein einziges Wort Englisch konnte, weshalb es zu Verständigungsproblemen kam und und unsere Fragen zur Wohnung unbeantwortet blieben. Ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert :)

War ein wundenschöner Urlaub. Es lohnt sich wieder nach Bolsena zu reisen.

Es waren wunderschöne 14 Tage in Bolsena. Wer das direkte Stadtleben von Bolsena kennerlernen möchte, sollte diese Unterkunft buchen. Sie ist liebevoll und mit vielen Details eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Altstadt bittet viele Möglichkeiten z.B. zum erkunden der Stadt, leckeres Essen und man kann sehr schöne gemütliche Abende verbringen. Wir danken Adele für die schöne Zeit.

a very comfortable familiar place where you feel like home

We spent 12 days in Bolsena and the apartment was very nice, there is everything (!) you need. Also Adele was flexible with our dates as we wanted spontaneously to stay 2 days longer. And we had a detailed nstruction by Adele and her husband when we arrived in Bolsena. We came there with a baby, so for us all the decoration was a bit problematic because we had to move everything and didn't have enough space for our own stuff. Anyways, we would recommend this apartment (ad its great fire place), thank you very much!

Molto accogliente sia la struttura in sè sia gli ospiti. Ambiente familiare dotato dei confort necessari per una buona vacanza, comprese una libreria e biciclette. In una posizione centrale rispetto al paese ma anche a poca distanza dalla spiaggia. Delizioso balconcino. La consigliamo a coppie innamorate! :)

Nice apartment in Bolsena

Nice little aparment in the heart of Bolsena, in an authentic old building, with a bathroom, shower and a really nice terrace for breakfast etc. The location of the apartment is really good, there is just everything nearby, a supermarket for supplies as well as a butcher's shop, a fishmonger and even a hairdresser, this can't be better. Negative points in our opinion are the moldy/smoky smell in the basement which we did'nt use anyway, and the fact that there is not much room for personal things, the wardrobe is already stuffed with everything useful and not so useful, and so are the shelves etc. in the bathroom - a bit less decoration would be good here. All in all it was a nice holiday in the apartment and in Bolsena.

Un felicissimo ritorno

Avevamo avuto subito nostalgia di Bolsena, del lago e di questa casa dai muri di pietra nella bella parte antica del paese, in una posizione magnifica, centrale e nel contempo appartata, a pochi passi da tutto (ristoranti, panetteria, norcineria, , supermercato, negozietti, ecc.). Anche il lago (con spiaggia sia libera che attrezzata) è agevolmente raggiungibile, sia a piedi con una breve passeggiata attraverso un viale alberato, sia più rapidamente con le biciclette in dotazione. La casa è fresca e accogliente, arredata con gusto, perfettamente equipaggiata ea di ogni comfort (elettrodomestici grandi e piccoli, biancheria e attrezzatura da cucina in qualità e quantità - i piatti sono davvero carini - materiale informativo utilissimo per orientarsi nei ricchi dintorni, e non ultima una mini biblioteca). Quando non si ha voglia di uscire ci si può godere il fresco sul piccolo terrazzo, anch'esso attreattrezzatissimo (tavolo, barbecue, sdraio) mangiando fuori, la sera anche a lume di candela. Di sotto il salottino con caminetto promette analoghe piacevolezze per la stagione fredda. Tutto è dunque curato nei minimi dettagli per un soggiorno perfetto. E Adele e Massimo sono padroni di casa perfetti: gentilissimi, simpatici e premurosi. Insomma, la libertà della vacanza e il calore di casa. Consigliatissimo a tutti, a tutte le età e in tutte le stagioni.

Beautiful house in Bolsena

A beautiful house with everything in it! Furnished with love. The owners gave us a very warm welcome! The house is perfectly located in the old centre of Bolsena. Cosy cafe's restaurants, shops, cultural highligts (castle, chruch, art galeries etc.) are all arround the corner. The lake, a ten minutes walk, is beautiful and very nice to swim in (the water was warm). We enjoyed a full three weeks in this surrounding and it was wonderful!

Entzückend und zentral

Die Kommunikation lief hervorragend, die Anreise klappte problemlos. Das Haus ist sehr hübsch und reichhaltig individuell eingerichtet. Die Ausstattung ist opulent - von allem, was man im Urlaub braucht, gab es mehr als genug. Alles funktioniert (z.B. Klimaanlage, Dusche), und natürlich war es überall sauber. Zu zweit hatten wir unendlich viel Platz. Die geräumige, schattige Terrasse haben wir viel genutzt. Gleich darunter war unsere Lieblingsbar. Die Lage ist großartig: mitten in der Altstadt, direkt unter der Burg. Alles ist bestens zu Fuß erreichbar (Burg, Restaurants, (Lebensmittel-)Lädchen, Supermarkt, Post, Bus, Marktplatz, Geldautomat...). Die sehr zentrale Lage ist es wert, dass es abends erst etwas später ruhig wird. Für den kurzen Weg zum See gab es zusätzlich Fahrräder. Der See ist nicht überfüllt, aber es gibt einen Hafen und Bars, Tretboote etc. direkt am kleinen Strand. Man kann aber auch nur schwimmen und sich eher im Ort amüsieren, die Wege sind ja nicht weit. Während unseres Aufenthalts gab es mehrere Veranstaltungen im Ort. Es war lebendig, aber nicht zu arg touristisch. Wir hatten immer einen sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Ansprechpartner. Insgesamt hat der Urlaub unsere Erwartungen übertroffen - danke sehr! Wir haben vor, irgendwann wiederzukommen.

Blissful May days in Bolsena!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bolsena where we spent a week in this cosy, two-storey house. The owners, Adele and Massimo, were charming, discreet and very kind to us. They went out of their way to help us settle in, and were extremely helpful. The location, right in the middle of the medieval part of the town, is excellent: food shops, restaurants, the lake itself and places of historic interest, all within walking distance. It's an ideal base for trips to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside and hill towns by car or on a bike. The beds are very comfortable, the bathroom has a shower with plenty of hot water, towels and bath robes, and the kitchen, well-equipped, opens out onto a terrace made for prolonged, lazy breakfasts! All in all, a delightful, relaxing holiday!
