Capodimonte, on the south shore of the lake, about 20 km from Bolsena, looks out over the water from a promontory, with the Farnese rocca above and a lakeside promenade with beaches below. It is the nearest landing stage to Bisentina island: if you are doing the island visit, come a little earlier and walk round the village.
