What it is
The Bisentina is the larger of the two islands in Lake Bolsena, a wooded island with churches, chapels and a harbour built by the Farnese. It is private and can only be visited on the guided tour organised by the island itself, with a boat from Capodimonte or from Bolsena. You see the church of Saints James and Christopher, the chapel of the Crucifix on Mount Calvary, Santa Catalina and the Malta of the Popes, a former prison dug in the rock.
Price and season
€20 per adult and €15 for ages 6 to 15, boat included; free up to age 6. It is open from 5 April to 1 November, every day except Monday and Wednesday. Book on the island's website; the visit lasts between two and a half and three hours.
What you need to know
Wear shoes with a good sole: heels and flip-flops are not allowed. There is no drinking water on the island and no drinks are sold, so bring water. The visit also goes ahead in rain. The high areas, such as Mount Calvary, are not wheelchair accessible.

## Consejos

### Leave from Capodimonte
It is the landing stage closest to the island and the village, on a promontory, deserves a walk.

### Water and a hat
There is nowhere to buy anything on the island.
