Many activities take place in and around Lago Trasimeno. It is Italy’s forth-largest lake measuring 22 km across in diameter with 11 individual beaches.
Around the lake one can enjoy water sports, walking, cycling. The area is famous for its wines, olive oils and home made pastas. . Excursions on foot or by bicycle pose other opportunities to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and countryside. There are 8 public bathing sites at Lake Trasimeno. From there one can take the ferry to 2 or 3 islands, go for walks or perhaps follow in the footsteps of St.Francis of Assisi on Isola Maggiore.
Castiglione del Lago is one of the most beautiful medieval towns by the lake. City gates and walls dating back to the middle ages surround the picturesque old town, which includes a piazza, a fountain, and a Castle. There are many restaurants to choose from and the town's exquisite shops have much to offer. There are many smaller shops, selling typical products from the region. There is also a large supermarket and a weekly market, and is well worth a visit. The men typically gather on the piazza and gossip while the women casually shop.
Excursions to Florence, Rome or Perugia are also possible. You may reach these by car, however we suggest a train ride of 1 - 1 ˝ hours, which is safe, comfortable, and stress free. The sea at Maremma is also an excellent day out from here.
In addition to the fascinating history of the region which, according to legend is traceable back to the Etruscans, there are many culinary delights to accompany you during your stay here, for example: Pecorino cheese from Pienza, olive oil from St. Quirico d'Orcia, Brunello of Montalcino and the mushrooms from the forests of the area and much, much more.
