Fantastische vakantie gehad met ons gezin, beslist een aanrader.
Zeer vriendelijke, attente en gastvrije eigenaar/eigenaresse. Fijn en laagdrempelig contact, ze geven goede tips over de bezienswaardigheden en eetgelegenheden in de omgeving. Fris en schoon appartement, alles is goed georganiseerd. Lekkere groente en fruit uit eigen tuin gekregen. Prachtig uitzicht op het meer, iedere dag lekker zwemmen in het zwembad. Zeker een aanrader!

Ideale vakantieplek om met 2 gezinnen te verblijven!
Super vriendelijke beheerders die je een onvergetelijke vakantie willen bieden. Groot en schoon zwembad met heerlijke relax mogelijkheden. Prachtig uitzicht vanuit allebei de appartementen op het Bolsenameer. Volledig ingerichte appartementen, o.a. oven, wasmachine, ruime koelkast en vriesvak. Het onderste appartement is zeer ruim en heeft ook nog een vaatwasser. Beide appartementen hebben 2 ruime slaapkamers, geschikt voor 5 volwassenen. Een perfecte uitvalbasis voor talrijke uitstapjes! Vraag hiervoor bij de beheerder. Een super ervaring is het visrestaurant "la capanna del pescatore" aan het Bolsenameer!

Deliciously Divine! But don't tell anyone else!
What an amazing time we had. Not only are the hosts so so lovely and fantastic. The apartment is divine. Set in picturesque setting. The local food and wine is heavenly. As a family we were welcomed into the home of Roberto & Vittoria. And their son Milco aided us, info on travel and places to go. The pool and the gardens are wonderful. Thank you so very much, for such a wonderful time. We hope to be back soon. D&C&I&E xxx

Beautiful, its like coming home. A house filled with love and care.
Really nice house. Beautiful surroundings. Very loving people, the owners Vitoria en Roberto. They lived in the same house. They don't speak Englisch, but with little bith of help, you can communicate. Also their son Milco, he speaks Englisch fluently. Don't asked Vitoria to make her special pizza, because you don't like any other pizza anymore. With the train you are in 1.30 hour in Rome. The market of Viterbo, Ovieto, Milco's secret waterfalls ( if you are nice, maybe he will shared the secret), the lake, the views in the evening, the food, the wine, the family diners, the hugs of Vitoria and Roberto. We are coming back next year. Back to the house of loving care, back to Nonna and Nonno and the rest of the family. Ciao ti amore.

Couldn’t be better
We have stayed in La Guardata on the beginning of May 2013 - 6 adults and 2 kids (3 and 13 years old). This place is perfect for everybody. The welcoming we got from Vittoria and Roberto was very warm and we felt like a part of the family and not just guests. The facilities are very nice and clean; the owners (even though they don’t speak English) very, very helpful. La Guardata is a perfect getaway from the busy cities but also close enough distance to a supermarket, restaurants and beautiful cities. We defiantly recommend dining in Marta (a city on the opposite site of the lake); visiting city Bolsena and a definite must is to see Civita di Bagnoregio – city on top of a hill. You should also visit Antica Cantina Leonardi in Montefiascone they have some excellent wine choice and it is really nice to see the wine cellar ;) We are recommending the La Guardata not just because of the beautiful view and comfortable apartments but also because of the grate atmosphere and the kindness of the hosts. Thank you Roberto, Vittoria and Milco

The best place for your vacation
We spent a beautiful week in this gorgeous villa and appreciated its stunning views. It is common that pictures make everything nicer than in reality is, but you can be sure that not in this case. The pictures are nice, but reality is much nicer. You can just sit, watching the shiny lake and feel the piece of countryside with its deep history and see the happiness and friendliness of people. You can find there everything you need for a perfect holiday – relax at the lake, relax by the sea that is just about 45km, swimming pool and unbelievable history everywhere around you, stone cities you have never see, beautiful countryside, gardens, stunning food and vine… You can visit Rome or Siena or nearby cities Civita di Bagnoregio, Orvieto. Whenever you go, for sure you will find something worth to see . Janka

Séjour inoubliable
Nous avons passés une semaine délicieuse dans un hâvre de paix. Le jardin est de toute beauté et entretenu avec beaucoup de soins par les propriétaires. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine et la vue depuis la terrasse, sous le gazebo ainsi que la possibilité de cueillir les légumes du jardin (tomates, courgettes, concombres, poivrons...). Nos hôtes nous ont conseillé sur les visites et fêtes des environs. Nous sommes arrivés pendant la 54ème fête du vin de Montefiascone. De nombreuses manifestations ont égaillées les journées et les soirées jusqu'au 15 Août. Pour les courses, il y a une supérette à Bolsena, commune voisine, bien pourvue en produits de nécessité et en produits locaux, fromages, jambons,carpacio, poulpes, olives, artichauts à la romaine... Nous recommandons chaudement cette location, qui nous a satisfait en tout point. C'est un lieu simple et charmant, où il fait bon vivre.

Wonderful place with lovely people
Very friendly and lovely hosts. We stayed there as if we are in our family. Very good place well located to visit a lot of beautiful sites in one or 2 hours car. Ok also to go by train to Roma and visit. Lake is 10 mns by car. We've had the most beautiful holidays in family we never had.... Very very nice home and people.

Map
About the neighbourhood
The area around the lake of Bolsena is the perfect place to spend your holidays both in summer and winter. Montefiascone among the towns of the Lake, is the only one who, from a height of 635 meters above sea level, offers a singular panoramic view across the territory of that portion of the province of Viterbo, which is called Alta Tuscia. From the Tower of pilgrim at the fortress of the Popes it can be seen in its entirety, the territory of Southern Etruria formerly inhabited by the mysterious Etruscans. To the north, over the Lake of Bolsena it will be hard not to notice the dark shape of Mount Amiata with its 1738 meters high, and the snow-capped peak during winter and destination for many skiers. In looking to the west, on clear days, especially on sunny afternoons, you can see the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea on the coast of Maremman Tuscany and Lazio, while further south there is the plain leading to the medieval city of Viterbo with overlying Cimini Mountains. The diversity of this region (plains, mountains and hills) made the Tuscia a very interesting province from the touristic point of view. Just few miles to move from the mountain climate characterized by the 1053 meters of the complex of the Cimini Mountains, where you can have beautiful walks through forests of oaks and chestnuts, to the sea of the seaside resorts of Tarquinia and Montalto, taking Montefiascone as a strategic point of reference for short trips and escursions. The 'Via Francigena' (the ancient route traveled by medieval pilgrims on their way to Rome), crosses the territory of the town of Montefiascone from north to south and the Romanesque Church of St. Flavian is an important reference point of the path. In front of the church square, in a hypothetical crossroads, merged the pilgrims who came from the main path and those who came from nearby towns of Orvieto and Bagnoregio and that had decided to divert to Perugia, Todi and Assisi rather than to cross the province of Siena. The route goes over different sections of the ancient Roman consular paved road 'Cassia' and through olive groves and woods, with ups and downs and stunning views of the lake. The shores of the lake can be reached via a road that descends from the slopes of the hill and through the fertile valley. The beaches of the lake are very popular between the swimmers during the summer but also the location for romantic walks in autumn and winter. The lake is great for water sports like wind-surfing, boating or sailing, or the more relaxing fishing (along the beaches there are special places for Carp Fishing). Another very nice sport along the shores and in the many country roads that go up and down from the centre of the town to the valley, is the off-road cycling practiced with the use of mountain bikes. The Town and particularly its old centre is perched on the highest hill of the volcanic Volsini Mountains that surround the basin of the lake. The shape of the inhabited area is typical one of the medieval town with a fortified wall and access doors that formerly were closed during the invasion. The fortress is located on the top and along with the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Margherita, make Montefiascone instantly recognizable from any point of Alta Tuscia you look at.
