The town stands on a promontory on the western shore of Lake Trasimeno, the largest lake in central Italy. It suits families and couples who want a lakeside stay with Umbria and Tuscany both within a short drive.

The road from Fiumicino to the lake

After the Rome ring road, the car drives north on the A1 for most of the journey. Depending on traffic it leaves at Chiusi-Chianciano Terme and follows country roads north, or continues to the Valdichiana exit and takes the road towards Perugia, turning off for the lake.

The last kilometres run through flat farmland with the lake appearing between the trees. The old town on its headland, with the Rocca del Leone castle at its tip, is visible from some distance.

Where people stay around Trasimeno

The walled centre of Castiglione is small and has restricted traffic, so the car stops at the edge if your accommodation is inside. Most visitors stay outside the walls: in campsites and holiday homes along the shore, or in farmhouses in the hills behind.

The lake shore is long, and places such as Passignano and Tuoro on the northern side are a separate drive. Give the exact address of your accommodation so the driver goes to the right side of the lake.

Lake practicalities

Boats to the islands
In season, lake boats link the shore towns with Isola Maggiore. Timetables change with the season and with the water level, so check the current service locally.
Bicycles
A cycle path runs along parts of the shore. Declare bicycles when booking if you bring your own.
History nearby
Hannibal defeated a Roman army on the northern shore in 217 BC, and the battlefield area near Tuoro has marked walking routes.
