BOLSENA

I never heard of Bolsena until last week and now have been here for 6 days and don't want to leave.  It is the most peaceful town full of all the great little twisting lanes, flowers and stone buildings that feel as if one has turned the clock back many centuries especially at night here wandering around the old walls and castle buildings.  It has all of that and is also situated on a volcanic clear lake with beaches that are not crowded and water that is clear turquoise blue - just perfect.
It also has great little Enotecas to buy wine by the glass or just drop in to fill your own bottles at the cost of 1.50 euros a litre.  There is a long avenue down to the lake completely planted with tall plane trees that are old and so beautiful.  As in all of Italy the smell of the flowers especially Jasmine add to every stroll.
