Fusaro Lake is a tranquil coastal lake located on the island of Procida, just off the coast of Naples. Surrounded by lush greenery and calm waters, it offers a peaceful escape from the bustling island streets. The lake is best known for the historic Bourbon hunting lodge, the Casina Vanvitelliana, which sits on a small island in the center of the lake. Visitors can stroll along the tree-lined paths that encircle the water, taking in views of the lodge and the surrounding landscape. The area is popular for leisurely walks, birdwatching, and enjoying the gentle sea breeze. Despite its proximity to the sea, the lake is brackish, creating a unique ecosystem. It's a perfect spot for a quiet afternoon, with benches and shaded areas ideal for relaxation. The lodge itself, though not always open to the public, adds a touch of royal history to the serene setting.
