Borgo Solario — Hotel in Castiglione del Lago

We stayed at the Borgo Solario in early summer 2017. We were there for a month; it would have been a couple of weeks longer, but sadly we had to leave early due to a family emergency back home. Our apartment was clean, comfortable and well-equipped; the only thing initially lacking was an oven, but our hosts generously bought a small one for us! There was a good wifi connection with enough range to be used outdoors, which made work very enjoyable under the large sunshade.||||The surroundings were stunning, with Lake Trasimere a short drive away and access to the motorway straightforward.

Lovely, lovely, lovely setting on a hill with great views of cypress-tree lined valleys and church steeples. We took an apartment with kitchen – spacious, nice, and newly furbished.

I am a regular visitor to the beautiful and enchanting provinces of Tuscany and Umbria. I discovered Borgo Solario some 6 years ago while searching for a quite place set in the heart of the Italian countryside. The complex is a detached rustic building set on the crest of a hill. It comprises of a number of neat self catering apartments, a large swimming pool, surrounding garden and, opened of recently, a lovely restaurant. The restaurant is glass-paned from wall to wall and overlooks the pool and the well cultivated meadows. The owners Sergio and Michelle are always there to lovingly tender the grounds and to the needs of their clients. I have been coming back to Borgo Solario year after year as I do not consider looking around for a better place to spend my holidays while in that...
