Lake Trasimeno

This is the 4th largest lake in Italy, about 8 miles square with camp sites all around, and is situated in Umbria. We spent 5 relaxing days around here on two different sites. The first site in the NE corner was OK and ideal for fishing (did not catch anything :-( but it suffered from too much snow, not the 'wet stuff' but the fluffy stuff from the trees, so we moved after 2 days. The second site was near to Passignano, one of the larger villages on the lake, and in the grounds of a very nice villa hotel. We took the boat ride out to Isola Maggoire one day and walked up to the top of the island for the views. Also met and lunched with a very interesting couple with lots of experience of caravanning in Italy and who gave us some good tips. Had a few cappuccinos and a typical lunch with fish (perch) from the lake in Passignano - excellent. It would be a great place for sailing Frisby and Catluem.
