Go from city life to the shimmering horizons of Castiglione del Lago and Arezzo, where boats drift toward islet monasteries and olive-draped hills open to a city of goldsmiths, grand frescoes, and piazzas so cinematic they once stole the spotlight in the film Life is Beautiful.
After arriving on the shores of Lake Trasimeno at Castiglione del Lago, you'll have the freedom to explore this dreamy lakeside town before continuing to Arezzo, where you can admire the Basilica di San Francesco and cobblestone streets, all at your leisure.

Thanks to its strategic position, Arezzo has been a thriving settlement from nearly 3000 years. Unfortunately, this also made it a target for Allied bombing during World War II, which destroyed large swaths of the city. Despite this, the city is still rich with historic monuments for visitors to enjoy. Visitors can stop by the 13th century Church of San Francesco, which houses the exceptional Early Renaissance ‘Legend of the True Cross’ fresco cycle by Piero della Francesca, or step into the 16th century Casa del Vasari, which is lavishly decorated by the owner himself. The gently sloping Piazza Grande is surrounded by historic buildings, such as the unique Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pieve, and the Grand Art Gallery, and hosts Italy’s most famous antique fair the first weekend of every month.
Lake Trasimeno witnessed one of history's most famous military ambushes in 217 BCE, when Hannibal's Carthaginian forces decimated the Roman army along its shores. During your 3.5-hour visit, explore the interactive Hannibal documentary center in Tuoro sul Trasimeno explaining this pivotal battle. Beyond this ancient history, the lake region features medieval castles, Renaissance churches, and traces of Etruscan settlements, providing a fascinating historical timeline. The lake's natural beauty and historical significance have inspired artists and writers for centuries.
During your 3-hour visit to Arezzo, prioritize Piero della Francesca's stunning "Legend of the True Cross" fresco cycle in the Basilica di San Francesco, one of Renaissance art's masterpieces. Visit the sloping Piazza Grande surrounded by medieval towers and Vasari's loggia, which transforms into an antique market on the first Sunday of each month. Don't miss the Romanesque Pieve di Santa Maria with its 12th-century facade, the imposing Medici Fortress, and Casa Vasari, home of the Renaissance architect and painter who designed Florence's Uffizi Gallery.
Lake Trasimeno features three islands, with Isola Maggiore being the most accessible during your visit. Boats depart regularly from Castiglione del Lago and other lakeside towns, with round-trip journeys taking approximately 2 hours including exploration time. The car-free island offers scenic walking paths, lace-making traditions, and a 14th-century church where St. Francis once stayed. If island visits interest you, discuss adjusting your itinerary with your driver, as this would reduce time for other lakeside attractions.
Around Lake Trasimeno, sample lake fish specialties like persico reale (perch) and carpa regina (carp) prepared in traditional ways. The region is also known for fagiolina del Trasimeno, a tiny heirloom bean grown since Etruscan times. In Arezzo, try local specialties like acquacotta (hearty vegetable soup) and scottiglia (mixed meat stew). Both areas produce excellent wines, with Trasimeno offering Gamay del Trasimeno and Arezzo featuring robust Chianti varieties. For quick authentic tastes, look for porchetta (herb-roasted pork) sandwiches from local vendors.
Castiglione del Lago occupies a stunning peninsula jutting into Lake Trasimeno, crowned by the 13th-century Castello del Leone (Lion's Castle). During your visit, walk the complete circuit of castle walls for panoramic lake views, explore the Renaissance Palazzo della Corgna with its mythological frescoes, and stroll the atmospheric medieval streets leading to lakefront promenades. This strategic location, connected to the mainland by a narrow strip, has been settled since Etruscan times and offers one of the lake's most picturesque settings.
Castiglione del Lago on Lake Trasimeno is approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) southeast of Florence, with a driving time of about 1.5 hours. Arezzo is roughly 80 kilometers (50 miles) southeast of Florence, about 1 hour by car. The distance between Lake Trasimeno and Arezzo is approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles), adding about 45 minutes of driving time. Your private Daytrip driver handles all transportation through the scenic Tuscan countryside, allowing you to relax and enjoy the changing landscapes between destinations.
Late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer ideal conditions, with pleasant temperatures and beautiful landscapes. Summer allows for swimming and water activities on Lake Trasimeno but brings hotter temperatures for exploring Arezzo's hillside streets. Lake Trasimeno is particularly magical in late afternoon light when the sun illuminates the water and medieval towns. Arezzo hosts the Saracen Joust festival in June and September, with medieval costumes and competitions. If possible, visit Arezzo on the first Sunday for its famous antique market.
