Location & what to see

Hotel Columbus sul Lago is located in Bolsena, on Viale Nicola Colesanti, just steps from the shore of Lake Bolsena, surrounded by centuries-old plane trees that provide shade and a relaxed atmosphere. The property is beachfront, with direct access to the water, while the life of the small lakeside town unfolds a short distance away among alleys and venues overlooking the lakefront.

For dining outside the hotel, the Del Moro restaurant is just 40 metres away, followed by Da Guido at 150 metres and Il Gabbiano at 200 metres: all easily reachable on foot. The nearest railway station is Montefiascone, about 14 km away, while those arriving by air can use Umbria Airport in Perugia, about 65 km away. Bolsena’s historic centre, with its Monaldeschi fortress, can be reached on foot in just a few minutes from the hotel.

The lake itself is the area’s main attraction: in summer it’s suited to swimming, water sports and boat trips to the Bisentina and Martana islands, while in spring and autumn the shores are perfect for long walks and cycling routes along the perimeter. In the colder months, Bolsena remains an interesting base for excursions into the Tuscia area, among medieval villages, Etruscan necropolises and the nearby Viterbo thermal baths, reachable by car in under an hour.

Del Moro — restaurant just steps from the hotel, convenient for a quick dinner 40 m
