Just outside of Rome lies a peaceful oasis: Lake Bracciano. Surrounded by nature and scenic beauty, it's the perfect spot to escape the chaos and heat of the city for a day, or even a relaxing weekend.

Its clear, swimmable waters are ideal for all types of water sports, and its shores are lined with picturesque villages rich in history and charm, like the medieval Orsini-Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, chosen by actor Tom Cruise for his wedding.
