Italy's fourth-largest lake is ringed by mellow villages - walled Castiglione del Lago on its promontory, lively Passignano, and quiet San Feliciano - with ferries out to Isola Maggiore and the nature reserve of Isola Polvese. The shallow, warm water is good for swimming, windsurfing and SUP, framed by olive groves and gentle hills.
