We stayed a week in Riva de Solto at Lurie and Mikis apartment. Everything was absolutely wonderful. On advance we had communicated with them, so we had an idea of what to do with our three kids when we arrived. The apartment was nice and clean and with a wonderful view over the Iseo Lake and the surrounding mountains. Sheets, towels and blankets and whatever we needed was at our disposal in the apartment. Just outside the apartment the swimmingpool is located, also with a beautiful view. The pool is clean and shared with other families in the surrounding apartments. Not far from the apartment there is a small grocery shop were we could buy what we needed day by day and close to that we found a local butcher. Riva de Solto is located 1200 meters from the apartment and we went there on daily basis to buy an icecream or visit the local restaurants. Riva de Solto is a small town and you will not find many tourists but mostly local people so the atmosphere is very calm and laid back. If you, like us, like to avoid using a car on your holiday there is a boat/small ferry that sails between the citys located by the Iseo lake. We went for a one day trip to Monte Isola, which is a small authentic island in the Iseo Lake. It was wonderful, and we had planed a trip to some of the other small citys by boat, but changes in the weather made that impossible. However we would recommend that you take time off to travel on the lake by boat. Both the trip on the sea and the locations are worth it.
Lurie and Miki are very helpful and caring hostes. They responded quickly when we needed it and as a example they made sure we got picked up by at taxi from the apartment the day we went back to the airport of Bergamo. We hope to come back one day.
