ospitalita — Tuoro sul Trasimeno · Umbria
In Tuoro sul Trasimeno, where the north-western shore of the lake meets the first Umbrian hills, the Volante Inn has occupied the heart of the historic village for over forty years: an address that passing travellers have turned, over time, into a recognisable destination.
From the windows of the rooms, the outline of the Umbrian hills stretches towards the horizon, with Lago Trasimeno shining below, reachable within a few steps. The building stands on Via Sette Martiri, in the centre of Tuoro, a short distance from the shore: a position that makes any excursion on the lake, to Isola Maggiore or among the villages of the nearby shore effortless.
The Volante Inn was founded in 1982 at the foot of the hill on which Tuoro rests, soon becoming a point of reference for the lake area, especially for dining. Over the years, alongside the restaurant, it developed a catering service — active for twenty years across Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio, with a kitchen mounted on a lorry — carrying the lake tradition beyond the walls of the village.
The eight double rooms are designed for rest after a day on the lake or along the trails of the Trasimeno: breakfast included, free parking and Wi-Fi accompany a family-run welcome that has gathered over eleven hundred positive reviews on Google over time. A small and recognisable hotel, one that has remained true to itself through the seasons.
In the dining room, lake fish specialities and Umbrian truffle complete the portrait of a house that tells the story of its territory on the plate.
