Latest reviews on Lake Trasimeno's beaches

Sualzo Beach
6 Aria Sanchez

The beach was lovely and the staff at the bar were very friendly. However, I personally found that there was a bit too much vegetation in the water for my liking.

Castiglione del Lago
4 Piotr Kowalczyk

The campsite is situated in a beautiful location by the lake, offering clean facilities and two lovely swimming pools that the children thoroughly enjoyed. However, the incessant discos that go on all night long are completely intolerable. It is currently 2 AM as I write this, and I am unable to sleep. I had hoped that last night's party was a one-time event, but it seems that these parties occur every day. This is my second and final night here. I regret this decision because the place itself is pleasant, but if I cannot get any sleep, it is not a relaxing experience but rather a form of torture.

Area Verde Pidocchietto

This beach is excellent.

Sastiglione del lago spiaggia
8 Rafael Montoya

The beach is located along a spacious and shaded lake, perfect for spending the day. Unfortunately, there are no picnic facilities and during this season, there is a lot of white pollen in the air. It's a fantastic spot for summer outings, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The only downside is its proximity to a dog training center, which can sometimes be noisy with barking.

Tuoro Beach
10 LUCIANA FERRARI

Tuoro's shoreline offers a stunning landscape, one of the embarkations to Lake Trasimeno's islands. The area is well-maintained, though the pier could be better. You can take a peaceful stroll, admiring the gorgeous sunsets and observing the diverse wildlife.

Umbrellas and sunbeds are available, however, I would not advise swimming due to the unclean water.
