Summer Holidays in Italy - Lake Trasimeno - Umbria

Set in rural Umbria near the Tuscany border, Trasimeno is an ideal base from which to explore two of Italy's most beautiful lakeland regions. A summer holiday in Lake Trasimeno is a fantastic experience in a vivid, fascinating area of a wonderful country. We love it!

Take a summer holiday to Lake Trasimeno and you're within easy reach of delightful Assisi, Perugia, Siena and Florence, all accessible in a day. Castiglione lies on the south western shore of the lake. An old walled town overlooking the lake, it is a wonderful place to explore. Passignano sits on the northern shore with a historic centre of cobbled streets, dominated by an imposing fortress.

Both resorts have lake bathing and ferry services to the islands of Maggiore and Polvese. And summer holidays in Lake Trasimeno are perfect for lovers of great cuisine. This is Italy, so expect superb food. The local cuisine is especially delicious. There is also plenty of really good walking in the Trasimeno National Park, and the region's fascinating Etruscan history to explore.
