  • We walked to the Castle several times but never went inside as we were running out of time. It is something we regret as we have since learnt it is well worth viewing. It is a very old castle located on the highest ground, from the streets around the castle you get a magnificent view of the town, lake and surrounding landscape, it would be much better from inside the castle.The castle looks beautiful at night, well lit and even better on a clear moonlit night.

  • We found it very interesting to walk the narrow and very old streets, the houses were extremely old but you could see that their owner looked after them as though they were nearly new.Everywhere you walked you could catch a glimpse of the Castle which must have been the foundation of the town hundreds of years ago. We found the centre of town to be very busy on the Monday morning, cars everywhere, much noise and locals chatting in groups along the footpath. Much the same as happens in our homeland, however there was a much older background, character everywhere. It was interesting to look inside the small shops and enjoy one of the local coffee bars.

  • On any visit to Braccianco a trip to the lake is essential sightseeing. It is a huge lake with a nice sandy beach, very safe for children to swim or paddle. It was an October Sunday the day we visited, fall / autumn, but children were still running through the water, the breeze was up and the sailing boats were busy on the water. The restaurants were busy and gelato was favoured by those not wanting to dine.

    Address: Via Argenti
    Directions: Take Via Del Lago, turn into Via Del Riposo and then turn right into Via Del Lago again. The walk is downhill for approx 1 km. You will see the Castle on the left as you walk to the lake.

     Mike, I read your story and saw your photos. I am taking a trip to Italy this summer, and was considering a day in Lake Bracciano from Rome. Does the train take you right there? Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks..Mariefla@aol.com
