Lake Bracciano is Rome's best-kept summer secret. A volcanic crater lake with crystal-clear water (it supplies Rome's drinking water), a fairy-tale Orsini-Odescalchi castle where Tom Cruise got married, and lakeside restaurants serving fish from the lake. 50 minutes by regional train from Roma Ostiense.
