Overview
A fine holiday home with stunning lake views and a beautiful swimming pool, Villa Laguna is a short stroll away from the heart of medieval Bracciano with its charming lanes and wonderful restaurants, just an hour by car or train from the captivating city of Rome.
Stand out on the upper terrace and the views of Lake Bracciano are mesmerising. It’s a warm and welcoming home with modern interiors, traditional touches and an overall feeling of great comfort. The open-plan lounge and dining area has floor-to-ceiling doors opening up to the poolside terrace, framing the shimmering lake views as you relax with loved ones. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped for preparing meals and there is a second living area and library ideal for your morning coffee and a quiet read.
Three bedrooms sleep up to seven guests, each with a stylish shower room – the top-floor double is especially romantic with its steep spiral staircase and far-reaching views. The lake vistas from the first-floor terrace are sure to inspire you as you gaze at the natural beauty ahead of you.
Outside, an infinity swimming pool is perfect for hot summer days, set in a picturesque garden dotted with lemon and olive trees as well as trailing bougainvillea. Another highlight of this villa is the daily maid service – the discreet housekeeper can also prepare delicious meals so you can truly make the most of your stay.
It’s a short stroll to the heart of Bracciano, such a charming small town with an enticing range of restaurants, enchanting historic lanes to explore and a beautiful castle where a famous celebrity wedding once took place.
In the other direction, head down to the edge of the lake, come across lidos and restaurants serving freshly caught fish and chilled local wine. Enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear water, look out for canoeing, sailing or scuba-diving and hop on a boat to other lakeside villages. Not to mention the hiking, cycling and horse-riding opportunities across the wonderful Parco Regionale Naturale di Bracciano.
Away from the relative tranquility of Lake Bracciano, spend an exhilarating day in the eternal city of Rome, enjoy the ambience of coastal Civitavecchia or learn about the region’s fascinating Etruscan heritage in villages near Viterbo in the region formerly known as Tuscia.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LagunaVilla Laguna is situated in Lazio, around an hour north of Rome, with magnificent views of Lago di Bracciano.
It’s a short stroll up the hill to the heart of Bracciano, a picturesque medieval town perched high above the volcanic lake with enchanting cobbled lanes, pretty squares, steep steps and an impressive 15th century castle which you can visit (it’s where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes once married). There is a range of charming restaurants as well as shops and supermarkets within walking distance – it really is a delightful place to stay.
Admire the lake vistas from viewpoints in the town or head down to the shores to appreciate its beauty (it’s a fairly hilly walk down through the woodland or via the town). The lake is perfect for summer swimming in its clear waters or try scuba-diving, sailing and canoeing. The lakeside woods offer some wonderful trekking and cycling trails as well as tranquil spots for shady picnics. Further along the lake’s shores, dine in one of the attractive restaurants serving fresh fish accompanied by local white wine.
In the summer months look out for boats connecting Bracciano to Trevignano, an historic small town that dates back to the Etruscan era and also features a wealth of summer watersports. Keen explorers should trek into the Parco Regionale Naturale di Bracciano for hiking, mountain biking and horse-riding in breathtaking natural landscapes.
It’s also fantastic to be able to visit Rome for a great day out, around an hour by train from Bracciano (the station is a ten-minute walk away). Throw a coin in the Trevi fountain, shop to your heart’s content in designer boutiques near the Spanish Steps and admire some of the world’s most famous sites from the Pantheon to the Colosseum. Get lost in the neighbourhood of Trastevere, take a boat ride along the Tiber, enjoy bustling Roman markets and marvel at the enormity of the Vatican.
For more sedate trips away from Bracciano and the lake, Viterbo (48km) is a beautiful historic town with museums, churches and pretty lanes to wander through or head a little further north to the spectacular village of Civita di Bagnoregio.
It is only a 30-minute drive to the coast – look out for summer lidos along the beaches of Ladispoli, find wilder shores at Spiaggia di Campo di Mare or experience the bustle of Civitavecchia with its historic sites, picturesque promenade, café terraces and many shops.

The lake itself is also close by, either a hilly walk or a short drive, where you will find many picturesque spots for picnics as well as lakeside restaurants, summer lidos and an area of woodland which is ideal for shady walks and cycling. The lake is a popular spot for swimming in its clear unpolluted waters and there is a range of summer watersports dotted along the shores such as canoeing, scuba-diving and sailing. There are also horse-riding and mountain biking opportunities within the Parco Regionale Naturale di Bracciano.
You can reach the coast in around half an hour with the summer lidos of Ladispoli or the wilder beach at Spiaggia di Campo di Mare. The port town of Civitavecchia is also a great day out with its historic attractions, lovely promenade, relaxing café terraces and range of shops.
Finally, head to Rome for an amazing family trip – it’s around an hour by car or by train from the local station at Bracciano, a short walk away.
