Good Family Home base for a month in Italy
We are planning a family trip to Italy for a month, 2 kids will be 10 and 8, and would like to find a great village near water and a good rail line for getaways. Looking for some ideas and suggestions from the community.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'd look for a property with a pool rather than a base town on either coast. You'd be more likely to experience a great village atmosphere and have more interesting and varied getaway options.
If you 'must' be on the water, consider either Lake Bolsena or Lake Trasimeno for access to Tuscany or Umbria. Trasimeno has a couple of rail stations on or near the shore; Terontola is a connecting point for some rail routes in the area. Both lakes have limited ferry service.

Jan - it would be in the summer months, we haven't set a date, still planning a bit.
We were thinking of starting in Rome for several days to a week, then finding a nice base to 'live' and immerse ourselves.
Jean/Bob - great suggestions, thank you!
