Many thanks to Laurence and Aldo for a wonderful week. Comfortable cottage, stunningly beautiful gardens, great pool, a 20min walk into beautiful Bolsena and good restaurants. We were made to feel incredibly welcome (including by the hospitable gardener Mario) but were given our privacy. The memories of sitting eating lunch on the terrace taking in the breathtaking views will be very long lasting. :) p.s. thoroughly recommend hiring electric bikes for a ride around the lake.

The cottage is absolutely amazing. Great view over the Bolsena Lake. The surroundings are fantastic, quiet and the most well maintained garden we have seen in 25 years renting houses in Italy. The owner of the property, were staying in their own house next to the cottage, but we still had 100 % privacy in our house/pool area. Excellent hosts. We will be back😊

We had a relaxing 2 weeks as the guests of Aldo and Laurence, who were so helpful and informative about the area. The olive oil from their trees, homemade jam and cake made with lemons from the garden, were delicious. Thank you Laurence! The house was perfect for 2 people, with a lovely traditional Italian feel. To wake up to such a beautiful view of the lake across olive groves every morning was wonderful. Mario keeps the extensive gardens in excellent order and was so kind and helpful to us during our stay. The pool was a good size and in beautiful surroundings with opportunities for sun and shade and with more views of the lake. It was hard to tear ourselves away but we did love Bolsena old town which is very pretty. You do really need a car as it is quite a walk to the town. There is however plenty of free parking below and above the castle. There were lots of good restaurants, bars and cafes, with friendly people. Also little shops to buy small presents. Our tiny amount of Italian came in handy as only a little English is spoken. There are lovely little beaches along the lake side, the best are out of town. There are plenty of places to visit, though we didn't do as much as we thought as it was so nice to sit in the garden and read and take in the view. Hopefully we can return and explore further. All in all a very relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.

Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di soggiornare in questa splendida struttura ad agosto 2021 e credo che ci sia poco da aggiungere a quanto lasci già sotto intendere il titolo. La location è semplicemente fantastica, una posizione che permette di godere di un panorama emozionante a qualsiasi ora della giornata. La struttura è curata nel minimo dettaglio sia internamente che nelle aree esterne. Il giardino, sapientemente curato dal simpaticissimo e gentilissimo Mario è uno spettacolo per gli occhi e permette di rilassarsi coccolati dai profumi di erbe aromatiche e dal canto di diverse tipologie di uccelli che si annidano su numerosi alberi da fusto. Che dire poi di Laurence e Aldo, persone splendide di una gentilezza e disponibilità infinita che ci hanno accolto a casa loro a braccia aperte e dal primo momento ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa, Concludendo è stata un esperienza che consiglierei a tutti e che qualora capitasse vorremmo ripetere!

Ein Paradies!
Ein Paradies!
Dies ist wirklich ein Paradies, den die überaus freundlichen, hilfsbereiten und sympathischen Besitzer mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt geschaffen haben. Der Garten ist wunderschön angelegt, er überrascht mit vielen Details wie Sichtachsen, schönen Blumen (herrlich der Lavendel mit den weißen Schmetterlingen oder der duftende Jasmin) und ist top gepflegt. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und absolut sauber, genauso der Pool, der jeden Morgen von einem freundlichen Gärtner gereinigt wird. Alles ist durchdacht und wohl komponiert und wirkt wie ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Überwältigend schön ist der Blick auf den unberührten Bolsena-See von der Terrasse aus (an dem man sich gar nicht sattsehen kann). Der Ort Bolsena ist sehr hübsch, gepflegt und lebhaft mit schönen Restaurants, Bars, netten Geschäften und sehenswerten Kirchen. Es ist herrlich, am See im Schatten zu sitzen und Cappuccino oder einen Aperitivo zu trinken. Es gibt eine schöne Seepromenade (mit vielen Restaurants), einen kleinen Strand und der See ist sehr sauber (da es hier keine Industrie gibt), trotz Pool waren wir jeden Tag auch hier schwimmen. Direkt am See weht auch immer eine frische Brise. Sowieso ist das Klima sehr erträglich gewesen. Wir waren im Juli da – tagsüber war es natürlich heiß, aber abends kühlt es angenehm ab, im Garten oben auf dem Hügel weht immer ein frisches Windchen und man kann sehr erholsam schlafen. Die Kinder haben natürlich vor allem den Pool geliebt und wolten gar nicht mehr raus, für uns Erwachsene war auch die wunderschöne Umgebung definitiv eine Reise wert: Orvieto, Viterbo, Tarquinia, Rom, die vielen Ausgrabungsstätten, die herrliche, unberührte, abwechslungsreiche Landschaft - wir hätten doppelt so lange bleiben und jeden Tag etwas Neues entdecken können in dem Dreieck Lazio, Toscana und Umbrien. Der Bolsena-See ist, welch Glück, vom Massentourismus komplett verschont und war für uns, die wir Italien gut kennen, eine wahre Entdeckung (und ist ein echter Geheimtipp). Wir danken Laurence und Aldo für die so herzliche Aufnahme und den wunderschönen Aufenthalt in diesem kleinen Paradies! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! Wir haben uns wahnsinnig wohl gefühlt

Living in the Park
Living in the Park
Ladies, Gentlemen, This place is extraordinary. Imagine roughly 300 olive trees and amidst them a well designed and flowered park of roughly 1ha. Your house is in the centre of all this. The lawn would suit Wimbledon at its best. The owners are outstanding in discretion, helpfulness and make a serious effort to make one's stay a delight. Now to the amenities: It's perfect for two. Since this is a rather vast property, the daily presence of the gardener Mario is quite securing. One complaint here is that you can't do great cooking. To be honest, there's no need for it. Bolsena has a large palette of shops (I highly recommend "pasta Fresca" and the butcher at the end of the road, the Coop shop has a good selection of cheese, local vines and ham). Sitting at the terrace for breakfast and dinner offers you a daily splendor viewing the lake. Nuff said: go get it! Oh, I forgot: the pool and the shadowed space on it are sheer comfort on hot afternoons.
