Horse Ride by the Lake and Explore the Area by Seaplane

The nature that surrounds the lake and the proximity to the Maremma area (in Tuscany) make the Lake of Bolsena a perfect place for horse riding. Depending on your experience, you can choose between paths along the lake or a visit to the Turona Park: a full day in nature.
I strongly recommend to book a horse ride with the "Il Quadrifoglio", partner riding school of the Palazzo Cozza Caposavi Hotel. You can go on a ride in the woods, along the ancient paths of the Via Francigena, or to the lake shores, passing by the ancient Etruscan ruins.

There is a very unusual way to visit Tuscia and Lake Bolsena: by seaplane. I was lucky enough to do it. You can request the overflight of an area, such as the lake or, as in my case, the town of Civita di Bagnoregio or you can use it as a means of transport to visit Tuscia or reach other places in Tuscany and Umbria. Get in touch with the Club Idrovolante “La Fenice” (“La Fenice” Seaplane Club).

"Il Gabbiano" Restaurant is right next to La Fenice and is well-known for its amazing position on the lake shore. You can sit outside on the restaurant veranda, but I recommend the tables which are placed right on the lake sand, in the restaurant garden!
In addition to the beauty of the landscape, the dishes on the menu are very good quality: made only with genuine, local products.
Open Hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 12:00-15:00, 19:30-23:00 Monday: closed

After two days filled with so many activities, I would suggest to spend the rest of the afternoon just relaxing at the Lake main beach which is a 5 minute walk from the restaurant, along the beautiful tree-lined lake promenade. You might want to go back to Il Gabbiano later for an "aperitivo".

For dinner, I recommend taking advantage of the hotel restaurant "VesConte Cucine". Located in the orignal kitchens of the Cozza Caposavi family, the restaurant offers a menu full of first-choice products from Viterbo, Umbria and Lower Tuscany. Homemade ingredients, the wisdom of the chefs and the best local producers find their fusion in a location rich in history, art and charm.
The Restaurant is open every evening from Wednesday to Saturday and for lunch on Sundays and Holidays with the possibility of providing service at different times upon request and reservation.
Yeast 9|19 the "Bistrot della Comitissa" operates and is available from Wednesday to Saturday from 08:30 to 19:30 (this time very flexible being now incorporated into the same structure of the restaurant), from 08:30 to 00:00 and from 07:00 to 12:00 on Sundays and holidays. Further information, please check the official website.

Now it’s time to get some rest at the VesConte Hotel.
