Five minutes walk from Casa Tana is the lakeside promenade. Daily ferry launches tour the lake during all but the winter months. There are private and public beaches and the water is clean. Yachts and powered boats can be hired in the lively marina and scooters and bicycles rented near by.
There are two newsagents that sell British newspapers; the town has the full range of shops, services, suppliers, a small but growing English comunity of full-time residents and a lively international tourist trade.
Orvieto, 20 miles to the north east (half-an-hour's drive), famous for its cathedral and Etruscan tombs, is on the high speed and regular railway lines (Rome 1 hour Florence 2 hours) and connected to the A1 autostrada del sole.
Casa Tana with its layout and location, its proximity to lake Bolsena and the historic towns of Orvieto, Tarquinia, Tuscania and Viterbo plus the excellent car-parking facilities and the fact that an Italian speaking English couple who live nearby as permanent residents would be prepared to give any assistance required all make Casa Tana an ideal holiday rental home.
