We had the great luck to have the Villa by our own. What a huge and beautiful building with a lot of amazing places to hang around. But even if there are more people - the house has enough space. Antonella and her daughter are friendly and very nice people, who come around every day to look after us. Antonellas brother has a small shop in the village, where we bought the best Raviollis and Lasagne (made by Antonellas mother) and local sausage and cheese. We were allowed to use the kitchen, so we can cook by ourselves. There is also a small pizzeria next door, with really good food. The way up the hill is very terrific if you have fear of highs ... but the view is amazing and the second time is even less scary then the first time. All in all we can really recommend this place and would come back at any time.

This was our first airbnb experience ever and it was a very positive one. Antonella is a very friendly person. In the beginning her daughter helped to bridge the gap between Italian and English language. The house was perfectly clean with cosy beds in a very quiet environment. It has got a big garden, and also lots of space in the house. The village is quite small ( 200-300 people), the house is almost in the center with shop and restaurant very close. We got delicious breakfast with fresh bread and fantastic local cheese.

It is great accommodation with super breakfast on beautiful place. Antonella is helpful and friendly host. I can highly recommended this B&B.

Antonella and her family is very nice, the daughter speaks English. The village is very small, but have 2 shows and a restaurant. It's very quiet and the house is fantastic.

Tere was everything that one needs in a room and much more. A lot of space.

Stunning location, beautiful house with ballrooms of space. We did not know that the location was on top of the mountain and the road towards is 15 mins. driving with a climb of almost 600 meters, so be prepared for an interesting drive.. Antonella is a very kind a lovely host, she prepared everything for our coming (just had to call 5 mins before arrival). Antonella showed us the gorgeous house and all the facilities (we could make use of everything, and everything is there! Only internet is somewhat limited, but hey, you're up in the mountains). We stayed only for a night, if you stay longer the accomodation really suits for it, I can even imagine to spend time there in late-season (there's an open fire place in the house). Make sure you plan your activities in the environment during daytime because to climb the mountain up and down a couple of times on a day can be excausting and time-consuming. Did I mention the gorgeous view and the very friendly and helpfull daugther of Antonella? Language: Both speak little English, it is better to talk in Italian

Amazing place and great people! The room was very spacious, clean, cosy with a great morning view! It's easy to find and the host and her family are very welcoming! The communication was easy and we found the experience very warm, relaxed and professional! I would highly recommend this for anyone, friends, family's and couples. We would def come back again

Throughout a great experience. Parzanica is a lovely village on top of the mountain and provides great views over Lake Iseo.Antonella made me feel welcome and provided exceptional information about the area and the Floating Piers.The room was very quiet and clean.

Daniela was helpful and quick to get back to us about any requests. A beautiful location, highly recommended.

Daniela did the best she could considering the language barrier. She and I were able to communicate via the messenger app and translators. I felt welcome when arriving to Monte Isola, she even had us picked up so that we didn't have to wait for the bus. The Vespa ride up the Island was wild! The house is beautiful with an amazing view. Secluded and private, tranquil, beautiful, and beautifully built. Her little cottage is a paradise replete with olive trees, lavender and jasmine plants perfuming the patio, beautiful tile and hardwood interior, comfy bed, and perfect tiny kitchen. Monte Isola is a stunning island. Daniela provided us with a map, bus schedule, and guides printed in English. We wandered about the footpaths, explored, swam, ate, and had a brilliant time.

Daniela answered all my mails. The only problem was that I don´t speak Italian. She tried hard to give us a good idea about what is expecting us. Her son and her husband (?) picked us up at Pesciera and drove us to the house with their vepas.

The house is localized a little outside from Masse in a beautiful surrounding with lots of olive trees. It is very beautiful and lovely decorated. The House was very clean and filled with everything you need and more. We loved to stay there. Thank you very much for this great experience!

A casetta di Daniela ci siamo trovati benissimo. Tutto era perfetto, ordinato, pulito e soprattutto accogliente. La vista sul panorama è stupenda. Daniela è molto carina come host, abbiamo apprezzato molto sua disponibilità. Lei e suo marito sono venuti a prenderci a Peschiera con il moto e anche ci ha aiutato con tutti informazioni. La casetta è un puo esterna, pero si puo arrivare benissiomo pure con autobus e a piedi. Si presenta esattamente come nelle foto, la casetta e luminosa, gioiosa ed accogliente. Non abbiamo utilizzato la cucina, ma sono presenti le stoviglie necessarie. La casetta e nel tranquillo e molto silenzioso. Per chi ama la natura e il posto perfetto. Monte Isola ha grande fascino con tanti lati da scoprire.... speriamo di tornarci presto!

Vista stupenda, ideale per un week end di relax. Casa molto curata sia internamente che esternamente.

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt, es ist abgelegen und ruhig. Der Garten ist riesig und ein Grill ist auch vorhanden. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, sprechen aber leider kein Deutsch und keine Englisch. Was man dazu sagen muss, ist das zu dem Übernachtungspreis noch weitere Kosten dazukommen, da man mit dem Auto nicht auf die Insel darf und deshalb 6€ Parkgebühr pro Tag und jedes mal pro Person 3€ für die Fähre fällig werden. Wenn man das Auto zwischendurch bewegen möchte, sind es sogar 12€ pro Tag, da der angefangene Tag schon berechnet wird. Dazu kommt dann noch die Busfahrt bis zur Unterkunft. Wer einfach mal seine Ruhe haben möchte, der kann hier zuschlagen, wer aber auch Party machen will und viel unterwegs sein möchte, sollte es sich nochmal überlegen, da auf der Insel nix los ist und man eben leider nicht einfach so hin und zurück kommt. Alles in allem war es aber ein entspannter Urlaub

La casa si trova in un posto meraviglioso. Grande giardino e vista lago dalle finestre. Ci siamo Innamorati di montisola! Daniela e il marito poi sono stati gentilissimi e molto disponibili. Soggiorno consigliatissimo per chi si vuole rilassare e godere la natura.

We had a really nice stay at the apartment! The view is absolutly stunning, the house very clean and the room's match exactly the display on this side! Roberto and his wife greeted us dearly as we arrived and were always available via phone for our questions. Thank's for the nice time!!!

We had a wonderful stay in the nice apartment (2 adults and 2 kids). All according to the description. Roberto and Sabrina took good care of us on arrival day, going out of their way to meet us late in the evening and lead us to the hillside village where the apartment is located. They also had provided much appreciated snacks and water in the apartment on arrival day. They gave us good tips for exploring the region and were easy to reach in case of a question. Recommend this place and host a lot!!

If you want to experience lake Iseo off the beaten track, this property might be what you are looking for. Located within a recently developed condominium on a steep mountain road, this small modern apartment features a well equipped living/dining, a comfortable and large bedroom ( the only room with direct uninterrupted views of the lake down below), a modern bathroom and a private paved garden. The adjacent common terrace affords jaw draping views of the lake and features a swimming pool, which however is pretty chilly (end of May).

Very modern and clean flat and in a great location to explore the lake. Roberto was very helpful, and leaving some basic provisions for breakfast was very much appreciated as we arrived very late. The views from the main shared terrace are stunning, as is the view from the bedroom. The flat has a small garden and outside dining area which is very nice but this does not have a view of the lake. Overall a really nice flat and would recommend a stay!

The place is beautiful, the building is barely 1 year old. The view is amazing and Roberto was very helpful whenever we had any questions. The only thing I didn't like about the place is that the balcony was not a private balcony for the apt. It's rather a shared balcony for the complex. Still, the place is excellent and I highly recommend it

Thanks for all! Great Holidays in a beautiful apartment. We will come back. Greetings from Hamburg. :)

Wurden wunderbar willkommen geheißen. Sehr freundlich mit reichlich Einkauf für den Aufenthalt. War alles Vorort was man gebraucht hat. Gute Kommunikation mit Gastgeber. Eine atemberaubende Sicht über den Iseo See. Freue mich auf den nächsten Aufenthalt.

Dejlig og ren lejlighed med vidunderlig beliggenhed. Værten var venlig. Vi anbefaler dette sted.

Monte Isola was one big purprise! The boat-service was super. The house was nice and comfortable. The pool was refreshing and clean. We had a very nice time. Beautifull view over the lake. Nice people who want to help you.

The host canceled this reservation 125 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Dominic, Francesca's father, welcomed us with his super cool boat, making our arrival an experience and easy... Dominic was very kind and made sure we are OK and not getting lost on the island. The Island Monte Isola is full with beautiful landscapes and tracks. for two days we didn't stop walking and exploring the varied landmarks. the apartment is located on the west coast of the island. it has an amazing waterfront balcony. it was nice hearing the water all night. you can also enjoy the beach which is full with olive trees. the atmosphere is very calm, easy going and authentic.

We looked for a place to stay for the Floating Piers and what we found was a fantastic holiday-appartement and wonderful hosts. Francescas dad was really wonderfull and caring. The appartment is one of a few at the bottom of a steep hill next to Iseo lake. The appartment was clean and we felt at home with all the small details Francesca and her dad had arranged. The kids loved the pool (My wife an me preffered the lake...) The neighboors are all Italian who have their private appartments here (At least thats how it feals like) From the terrace there is a beautifull view over the lake. Within ia few minutes walking (or take the pitoresc inclined lift) you are in a very small village with a nice (non-touristic) cafe/bar and a tiny store to buy the daily needs. This area of the island is called baia di silencio at that's what it really is: quit and peacefull. We had a fantastic retreat and relax base for the visit of the Floating Piers (within walking distance.) The journey by boat to the appartment was really great. Thanks again! We enjoyed our stay and we would recomment this appartment to our friends. Thanks for everything.

Soggiorno rilassantissimo il posto è molto bello!!! Casa di Francesca è molto carina e accogliente, fornita di tutto lo stretto necessario.terrazzo panoramico e piscina riscaldata. Ci siamo trovati benissimo.

L'appartamento è molto carino e ben arredato. Fa davvero piacere poter soggiornare in una struttura così inusuale come una casa cantoniera ristrutturata. Un po' rumoroso nella prime ore del mattino per via del passaggio dei treni, ma sicuramente un'esperienza particolare. Bello l'affaccio vista lago e deliziosa terrazza, comodo sia da raggiungere che per il parcheggio.

Gianmario and Daniela were amazing hosts! They were so kind and helped us by recommending restaurants and nice spots. Even the breakfast for the first morning has already been prepared. The apartment is located in a wonderful quiet area on top of a mountain. The view over the lake is just beautiful. We felt very welcomed and comfortable at their place. Gianmario and Daniela couldn't have been better hosts. We'll come back for sure! Thanks for all!

Amazing location . Great Hospitality . Good People. Highly recommend this Airbnb......

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is very clean and filled with nice food and cookies. The view from the balcony is stunning!

Gianmario and Daniela were wonderful. We were there for Christo's Floating Piers and they helped us navigate the transport difficulties imposed by the local police and gave us very helpful tips on how to get around and what to visit. Very charming, very helpful and very good hosts. Thank you very much for making our trip so special. The view from the apartment is spectaular and there is a lovely agriturismo in walking distance for dinner. Stupendo.

Gianmario is a great host and we had a perfect holiday thanks to him

The stay at Gianmario's place was wonderful. Very clean, spacious, nice bed and bathroom, we enjoyed our time there and the welcome was fantastic. We will definitely stay there next time we go to that region. Recommended!

I lived with Gianmario for two days. First of all: This place has a fantastic view! The bathing fascilities are very nice. The kitchen was filled with stuff we were told that we could as we wished, it was very nice that we didn't have to use to much time on shopping grocerys, when we were staying such a short period. Gianmario doesn't speak Enligsh, and we didn't speak Danish, so it was very helpfull that a english speaking familymember was there to give us the introduction to the house. Although we had neighbours on both sides of the house you felt very private, because nobody are passing the windows. All in all a very good stay :)

Our stay: We stayed 1 week – to get to see the Floating Piers by Christo. Host: Helpful and caring! As we don’t speak Italian – a neighbour was prepared to translate if we were in need of it. Gianmario and Daniella sent us text messages in English so we were taken care of all the time in case we needed information. Breakfast: Thanks for supplying us with breakfast (eggs, ham, bread etc. etc.)! Flat: Newly refurbished. Large and inviting rooms – beautifully decorated. Modern style with all facitilites and well equipped. Restaurants nearby: Almici Ristorante Pizzeria as Gianmario and Daniella recommended was very good (we went there 3 times in a week). The «restaurant» at walking distance from the flat «Agriturismo El Giardi' Marone» that Gianmario and Daniella recommended was fantastic – with wild boar etc. Environment: Nice place for hiking in the mountains – there are hiking trails map to get hold of in the tourist information/cafeteria/bar at Cislano (right up the road to the mountains) 1,50 euros for a map. Activities: We were here for the Floating Piers installation by the artist Christo – and we saw both the installation, the artist, and a special exhibition about his works in Brescida (Museo di Santa Giulia). Brescida (Lombardian culture Unesco world heritage site) and it’s old town is worth a visit! Besides Monte Marone it’s a superb starting point for hiking in the mountains. (We didn’t have time for a drive by car around the Lago Isola, and there are also boats that will take you on the lake – next time!)

Pasquale responded promptly to my emails. He very generously arranged to bring me to the island since access was overwhelmed. By the "floating piers" Unexpectedly, he provided me with a wonderful selection of food and drink. The apartment had brochures, maps and schedules to help me explore and enjoy the island. The apartment has a beautiful view of the lake. The island has charming sights, good restaurants

Our host was very helpful in making sure we got to the apartment even though he was ill himself, and we were met by Desiree. There was food in the cupboards and fridge, meaning that we didn't have to worry about food when we arrived. The setting itself is amazing, and was perfect for a relaxing family holiday. We mostly swam and relaxed by the pool and lake. The pool is very clean and new, and was perfect for our range of ages (adults, a 14 yr old, a 10 yr old and a 6yr old), with snacks and drinks for sale there. The public lakeside area is also lovely, we swam in the lake, and had BBQ's and picnics under the olive trees by the lake. We mostly had lovely hot sunny weather, with a few storms which were spectacular to watch from the balcony. The view across the lake from the balcony is stunning, and the island is beautiful, the village has a shop with all essentials plus local foods, and a very convenient bus service running all day that will take you to the other villages on the island. We walked to the Rocco Martinengo nearby, which was a nice short woodland walk, and some of us did a little bit of fishing in the lake. The pizzeria restaurant in Siviano is worth a visit, with fantastic food in a lovely setting. There were other local walks and historical buildings we could have visited on the island, but we were happy mostly staying in Baio del Silenzio, perfect relaxing family holiday, thankyou Pasquale!

The place was INCREDIBLE.. The views were breathtaking and we even went swimming in the lake, which was very clean. There was a private pool, for the local residents, which we didn't feel the need to use given the beautiful lake. There was a lift to take you up and down from the location which was very handy. There was a really nice kitchen. The island is very small, so the restaurants are a little bit limited but the apartment is right next to 2 and it is very close to the supermarkets. I remember the first night we went to a very local, very charming restaurant with lots of locals singing and dancing and it was less than 10 minute walk - door to door.

Right from the time we booked, the host was always available to answer all of our questions. He even offered to make our arrival easier by arranging our own boat to the island. The apartment was what we expected and fulfilled all of our requirements and everything was close by to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Mont Isola and Menzino was an amazing place for all of us to escape and create fond everlasting memories. The connections to the local shop and the mainland were very good and there was enough information to make this as easy and accessible as possible. The locals were very friendly and made us feel part of the community, which is what we always want when we visit new places. It was also really great to attend the local Festival while we were there. The facilities around the apartment were really good, The swimming pool was clean and the kids loved it as well the Lake, which was so close to where we stayed. Overall all of us as a family have gained some fond memories from our experience at Menzino and we thank Pasquale, Desiree and Paolo for their hosting skills :-)

Menzino is remote but accessible (by ferry and bus). We enjoyed walking from village to village around the island (no cars allowed). The kitchen was new and good for cooking with a dining table on the terrace facing the lake. Pasquale left of lots of good food. The pool is nice.

The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Siamo stati accolti in modo cordiale dal Sig. Pasquale che ci ha illustrato le bellezze dell'isola. Il residence é davvero molto bello e ottimamente tenuto. La vista dall'abitazione é meravigliosa... a pochi metri dal lago. Anche l'appartamento é ben allestito e dotato delle cose necessarie per soggiornare al meglio. A pochi passi ć'é un minimarket che consente di acquistare i generi di prima necessitá nel caso di soggiorni un po piú lunghi. In sintesi bellissima esperienza.

Communication rapide et efficace avec Pasquale, en particulier en ce qui concerne les informations pour se rendre sur l'île. La piscine chauffée est très appréciable, ainsi que les tables de ping-pong. On peut se baigner dans le lac ou profiter des des transat au bord de l'eau sous les oliviers. De belles randonnées sont possibles, toute l'île est accessible à pied en moins d'1 h 30. Attention cependant, le ravitaillement n'est pas forcément facile en particulier au niveau des horaires. Heureusement, Pasquale met a disposition des choses de bases permettant de prendre le petit déjeuner et un repas d'appoint.

Идеальная квартира, подходит для романтического отпуска и отдыха от города. Невероятно прекрасный прием, очень душевно. Фантастика. Луиза, спасибо! Отсутствие Wi-Fi - большое достоинство для тех, кто хочет по настоящему отдохнуть. Очень рекомендую!

Nous sommes restés 2 nuit chez Luisa. Elle a été très avenante et tres souple avec les horaires. Elle est tres chaleureuse et tres dynamique et aime bien se rendre utile avec des petits conseils sur le séjour. Le studio est très joli, conforme à la description, et se trouve au sein de Luisa Bed and Breakfast. Il est plein de charme et très fonctionnel. La propriété possède une terrasse avec une vue Panoramique a couper le souffle. Luisa nous a prêté des velos pour visiter cette charmante et authentique île. J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir! Un grand merci à Luisa pour son accueil!

Luisa war sehr aufmerksam, hat sich für uns Zeit genommen und uns Ratschläge gegeben. Sie hat uns mit umwerfender Nußtorte, Joghurt und selbstgemachter Marmelade verwöhnt. Die Wohnung ist für einen Kurzaufenthalt groß genug für vier Personen. Sie liegt günstig in der Nähe des Bootsstegs. Der Terrassengarten hat einen sehr schönen Blick!

Stefano's place is nice and spatious, nicely equipped and it has an amazing view of the lake and mountains. The place is quite high up on the hill so I suggest using some transport when arriving with luggage.

This apartment was amazing . The photos do not give this property the justice it deserves . Well equipped apartment and amazing views. Easy to book and hassle free.

Stefano's place is very spacious, located on the hill, which you can reach by car. Great view from the apartment! Huge thanks to Stefano for hosting us!

Really nice and clean apartment with private parking. Such nice views from balcony. Two toilets are great thing for five people. Beds wasn't so good and made quite muck noise. Overall very good!

Stefanos flat was fantastic with all comforters. I was very satisfied with the kitchenware. The beds are more or less comfortable. Stefano was very kind to answer our requests and questions. I recommend his place heartedly.

Stefano is a very friendly guy and speaks fluently English. The house really big but we mainly stayed in the kitchen because the view is as stunning as the picture shows. During our stay, we visited Monte Isola (which is like a postcard), Lovere and some other villages along Lago d'isco. We also did some hiking in the neighborhood and found a lot of nice little chapels.

It was perfect and Stephano a really good host!!

stefano is very warm and kindhearted, the apartment is very big , a cozy and wonderful place to enjoy ur trip.

What a perfect place! The location, views, terrace, pool, beach, people and the overall experience of communicating with Cristina. There are great restaurants in idyllic settings just 20 minutes walk in either direction and a mini market and cafe next door. The lift to the beach was really sweet and much appreciated after a hard day sleeping on the apartments sunbeds by the lake !

Cristinas apartment is located at a great position by the sea in an apartment complex. I stayed for a week and the apartment is furnished with all you need, it's very clean and has easy access from the port of Peschiera with bus. The terrace provides an open view to the mainland an towards the mountains to your right and is sunny from early morning until the sun sets behind the mainland hill. Easy access to the waterside & a pool by a funicolare. The alimentari is 50m from the complex and so is the bus stop, it's also an easy walk to the main town Siviano. It was a relaxing holiday and a great thanks to Jhen who greeted me and showed me, in detail, everything about the apartment & the complex.

A very nice apartment with a stunning view over the lake.

Wow! Feeling quite smug about finding this gem. Was originally looking at Lake Garda, but equivalent facilities were proving costly. We were travelling wit(URL HIDDEN)year old so our needs were simple, although mum & dad craved a slice of real Italy. The moment we arrived at Sulzano & looked across the water at Montisola we knew we were in for a treat. We were met by Jen as Cristina wasn't available & she spent a lot of time with us ensuring that we were familiar with the apartment & surrounding facilities. She particularly went to great lengths to make sure that the kids were welcome. The apartment was clean & well equipped. The balcony is stunning. We had every meal out there & the view never failed to surprise us. We used the upstairs area as a playroom as our mischievious toddler likes to get up in the middle of the night & the stairs may have proved an issue at 4am, however, there was no problem & plenty of space for us all to sleep downstairs particularly as we spent every night out in the balcony admiring the view. There are many steps down to the pool area, through greenery so not for the unfit/infirm/unwilling, but the fenicular/lift solves the problem. The pool area is more than we could have hoped for. A lifeguard on duty & coffee/icecream/beer available from the fridge. Everyone around was so friendly & delighted to welcome new guests. We were particularly delighted to use the family kayak on Lake Iseo & we were lucky enough to have Cristina's husband around to help us get started. The island is very hilly & Menzino has 1 bar, play park & a friendly alimentari. The buses run absolutely to schedule (no traffic jams to delay them) and are a quick way of getting around the island. We had broken Italian, but this was well received in this very warm community. Many thanks to Cristina for a wonderful stay.

Christina's apartment is so very peaceful and beautiful, we just clicked into holiday mode as soon as we arrived. Jhen was really welcoming and helpful. The apartment was perfect for us (2 adults and 2 kids age 7 and 9) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Monte Isola. It is a charming place. It's impossible not to relax!

Lago d'Iseo is the perfect place to get away feom the hustle and bustle of Northrn Italy's museums, shopping, and historic sights. We felt recharged after a couple of days of swimming, kayaking, and biking. This is a great little apartment in bacation community.

We were greeted at the taxi by Roberto who was charming and very helpful! Jen was also a big help to us when we couldn't work the stove! The views from the balcony were beautiful! We loved the quiet neighborhood and the people at the local market! We used the pool and sat by the lake. We were there during The Floating Piers Exhibition and the island was a little crazy, but we had a great time! The stone stairways were a little difficult to deal with for 4 women in their 60's! We would definitely recommend Christina's apartment!

This was one of the very best places we have ever been on holiday. It is a truly beautiful place, we were welcomed and looked after by Jhen. The apartment was clean and the descriptions and photos accurate. The island is very peaceful and remote, it is perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The swimming pool is great and swimming in the lake fantastic. I recommend.

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable apartment. The flat is very near a calm public beach and we enjoyed swimming in the lake. Thank you !

Nice, clean and spacious apartment within a wonderful restored classic Italian building. Location is next to a bus stop and path towards the lake beach. Good communication with the owner. Fetching and dropping the house keys was easy.

The house was very nice and clean. We enjoyed the historical background of the house. The landscape around the house was very pretty and we were happy to have a donkey in the neighbourhood ; ) If one day we go the lago d'iseo again, we'll try to get this object for another stay. Of course, one night was much to short. It was a pity that we could not see through the windows that were either too high or too low. It was strange that there was some food in the fridge. We didn't know if it was for us or someone had left it. Getting the key took a long time for us, because we had to meet at a certain place far from the house and the persons who brought us the key were not the one we saw on the foto in the internet (Chiara). But this was certainly caused by the Floating Piers trouble in the region. Thank you for the service.

Really nice! More then worth it. The appartement itself is nice and provides everything needed, curtains might be handy. It's located just out of town but your basics are within 5 minute walking distance, which you need because cars arent allowed:). Public transport is just fine. If you wanne go to a kids friendly beach i'd recommend Carzano, the last village on the island, 30 minutes walk, because it has a playground and isnt too crowded. If you wanne leave early on departure, park your car in Sulzano, the earliest ferries go there. Thanks Chiara for a lovely time!

Great place! Excellent for families who are looking for a silent and peaceful time. We have enjoyed Christo's "Floating Piers". But beside this unique art project there were several beautiful sights to explore.. .. Chiara's appartment is a good choice!

The previous reviews have described this apartment very accurately, you'll find everything you are likely to need including fresh linen and towels, and a washing machine which was great. The shower was nice and powerful with instant supply of warm water. One issue which wasn't mentioned is that it is located on a relatively busy road, which means a lot of noise from two-stroke scooters, which are the only motor vehicles allowed on the island. Also be aware that the access to the beach is pretty steep. The beach itself is a lovely grassy area shaded by olive trees, however if you fancy a swim you will have to descend 2m down a vertical metal ladder or alternatively walk a bit further along the shore and wade into the water over some pretty sharp stones. On a positive note the apartment is close enough to walk to both Siviano and Sensole (about 15 minutes to either of them), you can also choose to walk up to the Sanctuary on the top of the mountain which shouldn't take longer than 1.5 hours. If you are planning to come on a ferry from Iseo, there is some free of charge car parking next to the railway station, which is about 10 minutes walk from the ferry. Also, rather than leaving the boat in Peschiera Maraglio, do stay for two more stops and disembark at Carzano, your ticket will cover that journey as it's valid for 90 minutes and the boat trip is a fantastic experience in itself. You can even carry on to Siviano, but do bear in mind that it's a steep climb from the ferry to the bus stop there. It is not even necessary to take a bus to reach the apartment, if you have light luggage you can choose to disembark at Sensole and walk up to the house in about 20 minutes. If you do get off at Peschiera Maraglio on a boat from Iseo be aware that the bus stop in front of the ferry is not in use, you will have to walk to the ferry stop number 3 which is about 300m further to catch the bus, which normally runs every 30 minutes. The apartment itself is located on the edge of Menzino in a complex which I think used to be a local hospital but has been nicely converted into residential properties. There is a well stocked local shop in the village (a 5 minutes walk towards Sensole) which is surprisingly inexpensive.

Chiara and her daughter was very nice and kind, they came to us to the railway station and showed us the ferry station. Although we did not get the exact address, just got a direction (here I have to mention that there was no problem, we found the place). Chiara responded via the airbnb immediately, and kept asking if everything was alright. :-) Also we got some informations there in the apartment from the different kind of locations, restaurants, etc.

grande disponibilità e gentilezza...decisamente una bella esperienza

Lulled to sleep by the sound of a little waterfall of the river near it may be throughout your stay in this little house. House in a quiet courtyard, the well maintained open and welcoming neighbors. From Predore streets you can admire a fantastic panorama view of the lake, or on foot you can be reached in just over 5 minutes. I would gladly go

A great place with a great view. A friendly and communicative host

Very helpful host. We arrived very late but got a good and detailed description on where to go. The place is very well situated but doesn't have wifi, nearby swimming possibilities are a bit limited

Roberto è stato davvero gentile e disponibile. L'appartamento, non troppo facile da scovare, gode di una vista meravigliosa sul lago.

Gli host sono stati molto gentili e disponibili, hanno suggerito alternative di viaggio e fornito orari degli autobus. Sarebbe opportuno che segnalassero gli innumerevoli gradini da farsi, o vie alternative, per raggiungere l'appartamento, soprattutto per chi si sposta con bimbi e passeggini al seguito. L'appartamento è carino e la vista molto bella. L'isola è il lago sono stupendi.

posto speciale con vista lago. il host era molto disponibile, piena di informazione utile.

Giovanna's house was delightful. Giovanna met us and drove us to the house (twice!), and provided a delicious breakfast. My son and I really enjoyed the Lago d'Iseo area and since we live in a big city, being able to sleep away from it all was wonderful. Thanks so much, Giovanna

There's nothing we didn't like about this place. Giovanna is a beautiful relaxed person which made our stay extremely enjoyable. She was always available for our needs and tips about the local area. She was also attentive and sweet with our baby and dog. About the place, we fall in love with the house and the surroundings, ending up spending most of our time there. A beautiful, genuine Italian house, with lots of wood and nice details, simple and tastefully decorated. Our room was great, clean, very bright and with spectacular views. Once you step outside, you are embraced by nature, trees and flowers everywhere and majestic views. The place is 15 min walk from the village and we loved every step of this trip. We highly recommended this place for nature lovers.

Country house in a wonderful environment, inmersed in nature and with nice landscape. Giovanna was really kind with us and the experience in Padò was very good. From there we could visit many places of the Nord of Italy and rest in a quite and relaxing place, far from any noice and stress.

Our stay was so so relaxing and serene. The apartment is located away from the town. It was peaceful, fresh and wonderful place to stay. Our bedroom had an amazing view. There is a magical hike from the house to the lake. It takes a long time so wear your walking shoes!

An amazing spot!!! Beautiful stone villa, a perfect getaway inside the woods, surrounded by nature. bathroom is joined for 3 rooms. rooms are small, one of them is bigger with great view. Giovanna was nice and helpful. you must make sure she can come and pick you up, because it's a bumpy road to the house.

Giovanna picked us up on the parking which was very thoughtful. During our stay we felt like we were at home.

This is an unique experience - it's off the tourist trail and about 1km from a genuine little Italian town. No english menus at the 3 pizzeria in town which is ideal. Host is wonderful is with 2 beautiful huge dogs that hang out. The walk back in the moon light was an experience we won't forget. We have no regrets not staying right on the lake this was better.

What a beautiful place! The house is charming, the scenery stunning and the surroundings are so peaceful and green. We really felt at home here, and Giovanna was extremely kind in collecting us and our bags and suggesting where to eat/visit locally (the track is quite steep in parts). I'm not a very doggy person but Wald was really friendly and calm. The room was very clean and comfortable and Giovanna provided everything we needed for a really relaxing stay. Breakfast was also a bonus. I highly recommend staying here. Thank you, Giovanna!

Very nice Host, good communication. We had a warm welcome at Mr Fermos place. In the flat is everything you need - a water heater and a toaster would be great to add to the kitchen Equipment in the future.

Accueil très sympathique, magnifique vue sur le lac car en hauteur. Maison sur trois niveaux avec chambre double au premier et deux lits simples au deuxième. Tout le lac est facilement accessible car plutôt petit !

This place is beautiful, lost in the rough nature just above the lake waters. Quite and relaxing. There is a steep walk to get there but the trip is worth it. The host will make you feel at home...

Hosts were more then kind! We got lost on the way and they waited three more extra hours for us!

Cristina is a very nice host, the hause is a stunning place where culture and the view over Iseo Lake meet, sure we will come back

We had a great and relaxing time here, although we stayed for just two days we recovered as it it was a two week holiday. This is an amazing, quiet and peaceful place. The view is breathtaking and Cristina is a georgeous, gentile and loving host. We enjoyed it very much and will definitely come back :)!!!

The photos reflect exactly how the flat is, the accommodation is great and we loved it. There is a very steep 10mn walk uphill from the main road to access the old church, hard at the beginning but worth it. It is very quiet, peaceful and very relaxing, with a wonderful view to the lake. Christina is a very welcoming, generous and caring host. K&H

Very nice and special location (former church) with beautiful view on the lake. Can be definitely recommended, if walking 10 min up the hill (or small 4WD car) is no issue for the guest.

Amazing get away! The climb up the hill was worth it! The host was really nice and greeted us on arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. A very relaxing stay overall with some of the best scenery I've ever experienced. Definitely going to go back.

Cristina è stata molto disponibile e gentile, permettendoci di fare check out un po più tardi e accogliendoci con molti consigli. Il luogo inoltre è incantevole. Purtroppo però il soggiorno è stato penalizzato da numerose vespe presenti nell'appartamento che hanno creato non pochi disagi. Infine la strada in salita era troppo pendente per la nostra vettura e la conseguente salita a piedi disagevole.

The flat was great! Clean, cozy, everything we needed. The Pool was lovely and great fun for our daughter. Luigi organized it that wie felt very welcome. Drinks in fridge, sweets, a friendly person who explained everything. Friendly neighbours.. We hope to come again in the future.

We had a great time in Bianicia/ Tavernola. The apartment was very cozy , clean and absolutely sufficient for two people. The sofa and the bed were fine. At the kitchen you'll find everything you need to cook. Including a toaster and a electric kettle. At our arrive we also got some groceries from Luigi. So we could eat pasta at the first day without leaving the house! The pool is just great ! At most of the time we were the only people there which was very relaxing. In conclusion our journey was just great we would come back at any time.

The angolo di relax was even better than described. Luigi was great with communication, and went out of his way to help with local navigation. The place itself was clean and very comfortable, with beautiful views. If you are thinking about a stay in a charming village in northern Italy, this is the very best choice!

An immaculately presented one bedroom apartment, with everything required to self cater in the small area of Tavernola/Bianca. The pool area is relaxed with friendly neighbours from the other apartments. Luigi and Patrizia were extremely helpful at all times and I would highly recommend staying in the area for some quiet time with fantastic views of the lake.

Unsere Anforderungen für unsere 3-Generationen-Reise (meine Mutter, mein 9-jähriger Sohn und ich) zu "The Floating Piers" : eine ruhige Umgebung, in der sich auch Kinder wohlfühlen können und gut gelegen, um das Event einfach zu erreichen. All das fanden wir hier. Schon die Zufahrt zum hoch über dem Lago Iseo gelegenen Appartement belohnte mit schönen Blicken. Luigi, der uns bereits in den Tagen vor unserer Ankunft mit allen wichtigen Informationen zu Anreise und den Floating Piers versorgt hatte, empfing uns persönlich, um uns mit dem top ausgestatteten Appartement und der Anlage vertraut zumacht. Auch versorgte er uns bestens mit Tipps bezüglich Restaurants und Ausflugsziele. So verbrachten wir eine wundervolle, entspannte Zeit mit Kunst, Ausflügen und Zeit am Pool im "angolo di relax". Danke!
