A pretty new site on the lakeside, this is a great alternative to the larger sites in the area. It is set in the grounds of the oldest villa on the lake (restoration is in progress) and the whole site has been refurbished to a very high level using the existing historic buildings to provide the high quality amenities. The 40 flat, good sized pitches are under enormous trees giving excellent shade and there is a very peaceful atmosphere with some pitches enjoying lake views.

Camping Polvese
Italy, Umbria, Sant Arcangelo sul Trasimeno

Beside the lake, Polvese takes its name from the island which can be seen clearly from the site. The 70 touring pitches (6/9A electricity) are in one corner, but the site is primarily for the 250 very permanent pitches rented by Italian and German guests. We see this as a site for short visits rather than extended stays. On flat ground, the pitches are reasonably sized, and some are by the lake. Mature trees provide good shade. There are two pools, one is for children, but it is deep. The restaurant is close to the gate, as is the entertainment area.

Camping Listro
Italy, Umbria, Castiglione del Lago

This is a simple, pleasant, T-shaped site with the best beach on Lake Trasimeno. Listro provides 100 pitches, all with 3A electricity, many of which are on the lakeside giving stunning views out of your windows and shade is available on most. Facilities are fairly limited with a small shop, bar and snack bar, and there is no organised entertainment. English is spoken and British guests are particularly welcome. The campsite’s beach is private and the lake has very gradually sloping beaches making it very safe for children to play and swim. A great site for those who enjoy the peace and quiet of simple camping without the comprehensive facilities and busy activities found on many other lakeside sites. This is reflected in the prices which are very reasonable.

Umbria

Known as the ‘green heart of Italy’, Umbriais a beautiful region of rolling hills, woods, streams and valleys that gives way to high mountain wilderness. It is well known for the beauty and profusion of its medieval hilltowns.

Umbria’s main attractions are the Vale of Spoleto and the hill towns of Spoleto and Assisi. The birthplace of Saint Francis, Assisi attracts vast numbers of art lovers and pilgrims throughout the year who visit his burial place, the Basilica di San Francesco, built in 1228, two years after his death. With a scenic woodland setting, Spoleto was once an important Roman colony. The town has the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, reputedly where ten thousand Christian martyrs were slaughtered, and a variety of Romanesque churches. It also boasts an impressive 14th-century aqueduct.

Near Perugia, the regional capital, is Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy. It has plenty of opportunities for fishing, swimming and water sports. The lakeside town of Castiglione del Lago is a good place to relax and unwind on the small sandy beaches; from here, boats make regular trips tothe Isola Maggiore, one of the lake’s three islands. Further north is Gubbio, the most thoroughly medieval of all the Umbrian towns. A charming place full of twisting streets with soft pink stone houses and terracotta tiled rooftops, its beauty is enhanced by the forest-clad Apennine mountains looming up behind.

Umbria has two provinces: Perugia and Terni.
