Arlena Agriturismo
A nice farm-house on the shore of the Lake of Bolsena

Charming apartments with restaurant service, your holiday in a pleasant and relaxing environment that offers an incredible variety of sight-seeing with cultural, gastronomic and wine-tasting excursions in the regions of Latium, Umbria and Tuscany. The farm-house is on the shore of the Lake of Bolsena. Our Farm consists of kiwi, plum and olive orchards. One of these, which covers about 10 hectares (over 22 acres), is centered around an old stone farmhouse dating back to 1850 and its attached rural buildings. The complex has been restructured into eight apartments able to accommodate from 2 to 7 people with a large grassy area in front for relaxing and playing.

The farm's accommodations are composed of 8 individual apartments, all at the ground floor, each with a well-equipped mini-kitchen and dining area, an elegantly appointed bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, and a porch covered with open chestnut beams and terra cotta tiles that offers another table and chairs for outdoor dining. The carefully chosen furnishings, the warmly coloured and welcoming fabrics, the antique furniture and elegant wrought iron finishing together make the Podere Arlena agritourism complex one of superior level that remains respectful of its country style.

Restaurant service and Pizza available only for the farmhouse's guests, served in the big dining room of the ancient hamlet, just next the lodgings.

The surrounding fields, which extend to the edge of the lake, are covered mostly by kiwi orchards. A 150-meter-long path cuts through the orchard and leads you directly to the quiet of the lake.

There you will be welcomed by a stretch of lawn and beach equipped for bathing, where your privacy is assured by the impenetrability of the adjacent reeds. The sandy shore gradually declines into the lake, lending to a shallow area that is well-suited for swimming, even for small children

A splendid "ontano" (alder), a typical lake tree, sinks its roots directly into the shore and acts as a frame for this suggestive corner of the lake. Canoe outings along the reeds will allow you to bird watch the many species found on the lake, while sun worshipers can enjoy laying in the sun on the beach, or directly on the water on one of our "Malibu" floating beds.

Upon request, we can organize informal meals directly on the beach. Homemade jams (kiwi, plum, fig, raspberry, kumquat) and breakfast sweets will cheer your stay.
