<\/h2>\nLake Como: Menaggio<\/strong><\/h2>\nLocated along the western side of Lake Como, Menaggio is a favorite summer escape for visitors and locals alike. It\u2019s dripping with historical significance and surrounded by jagged peaks; perfect for history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts. It won\u2019t be quiet in the summertime, but you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a leisurely walk along the promenade or a boat ride on the lake. If you\u2019re brave enough to jump into the cold water, you can access the swimming area from a pebble beach just north of town.<\/p>\n
STAY<\/strong>: The Lake Como Hostel in Menaggio<\/a> offers a great budget-friendly option. Rooms are clean, staff are friendly and you’ll have a killer view over Lake Como for much less cash than most nearby hotels charge.<\/p>\n![\"Lake](\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Lake-Trasimeno-1024x640.jpg\")
\nLake Trasimeno: Monte del Lago<\/strong><\/h2>\nWith narrow cobblestone alleyways and terra cotta roofs, this little village offers wonderful views of Lake Trasimeno because it\u2019s basically sticking out into the lake itself. This is a great destination for travelers who have an interest in the arts, as many Italian artists writers, and musicians throughout history used Monte del Lago as an artistic haven. Perhaps you are looking for an artist\u2019s retreat as well; why not take a trip to Monte del Lago for a little lakeside inspiration?<\/p>\n
STAY<\/strong>: Why not combine your lake visit with an agriturismo experience? For a reasonable price, you can rent an apartment in a villa like this one<\/a>, which has lake views, a garden, a pool, spacious patio and is just a 10-minute walk to Zocco Castle.<\/p>\n![\"marta](\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/marta-lake-bolsena-1024x640.jpg\")
\nLake Bolsena: Marta<\/strong><\/h2>\nCharacterized by an impressive clock tower, you can\u2019t miss the village of Marta on the shores of Lake Bolsena. The clock tower is built on what remains of an old fortress built by Pope Urban IV, and the surrounding buildings are situated on a hill that leads down to the lakeshore. Every May, the town celebrates the ancient feast of Madonna del Monte, but in midsummer this quiet fishing village is a great place to relax and try local dishes. You may even take a boat ride around the nearby island of Martana and then come back to enjoy the evening markets down by the shore.<\/p>\n
STAY<\/strong>: At Locanda da Otello<\/a> you’ll feel like you’re staying with family\u2014but in a good way. The lakefront B&B offers free breakfast and WiFi, and features an on-site, lakefront restaurant.<\/p>\n![\"Anguillara](\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anguillara-Sabazia-Lake-Bracciano-1024x640.jpg\")
\nLake Bracciano: Anguillara Sabazia<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you\u2019d like to visit Rome but you\u2019d also like to get out of Rome for some of your trip, head about 30 km northwest to the town of Anguillara Sabazia. This is a nice option for a getaway on Lake Bracciano because the heart of this medieval town sticks out into the lake, offering great views and nice natural areas. If you\u2019re around in June, make sure to catch the events surrounding the annual Sagra de Pesce (Fish Festival) which include dancing, synchronized swimming, fireworks, and celebrating local dishes made with fresh lake fish.<\/p>\n
STAY<\/strong>: Opt for the bright, airy, colorful and modern Domus Angularia<\/a>, right in the heart of Anguillara Sabazia. This intimate property offers a terrace with lakes views, plus free breakfast and free WiFi. Put those extra funds toward one of the lake-view rooms\u2014they’re worth it!<\/p>\n![\"Gargnano](\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Gargnano-lake-garda-1024x640.jpg\")
<\/h2>\nLake Garda: Gargnano<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis gorgeous Northern Italian lake town has long been a hit with Germans, and it’s easy to see why. With a shoreline characterized by colorful buildings and wonderful views of the surrounding mountains, the town of Gargnano stretches along the lake’s blue alpine waters. Just south of Gargnano, a 100-mile sailboat race attracts many visitors in September. But if you\u2019re around in the midsummer, you\u2019ll find all sorts of things to do such as hiking, sailing, windsurfing, horseback riding, or perhaps you may enjoy being serenaded by some local jazz musicians. If you wish, head up into the mountains to visit the blue waters of the narrow manmade Lake Valvestino, which formed in the 1960s after the construction of a dam.<\/p>\n
