In 2008 we spent a night at the Riserva with friends and had the most completely satisfying dinner of all of our many trips to Italy. Each part of the meal was delicious and the pieces all went together to make a perfect dining experience. (I am a "foodie" and I remember each course in detail.) The dining room is... More

We spent our 10 year honeymooon at this fine place. Excellent food and service. The room was tidy and clean. La Riserva Montebello is the perfect place to relax and enjoy each other. The distance to sorounding towns and wine tasting is perfect. More

The private bath was excellent. Best of all, the food in the dining room was superb - better, in fact, than any we found... More

The staff couldn't have been nicer, and the location is spectacular. On reaching our room and looking out on the view, I immediately began to relax. This is a really beautiful and... More

La Riserva is situated in a spectacular location looking over Lake Bolsena. The accomodation is basic and a little quirky. Don't stay here if you want all mod cons, because you won't get them here! The rooms are simply furnished with old (antique?) furniture. What you do get here is plenty of space to relax, a warm and friendly welcome... More
