The place is a lovely small house with a garden in the village of Viadanica. The location is quiet and beautiful, super close to the mountains and the lake Iseo. (Monte Bronzone is outside Viadanica and has striking views).
Carlos and his family are wonderful, kind and friendly people, who made me feel welcome and were always willing to help.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything one needs for a short- to mid-length-stay (pans, pots, salt, oil, etc.). There’s also Sky TV on the ground floor and another TV set upstairs. The garden is a very pleasant place — it has a full barbecue set and a hammock for sunny days.
Viadanica has no grocery shops though (the closest is in Sarnico, some 10 minutes’ drive) and it’s good to know the tap water is not safe to drink. Viadanica is about an hour’s drive from both Bergamo and Brescia. One can also take a regional train from Grumello del Monte, a small town about 20 minutes’ drive from Viadanica.
Overall, I had a nice time in Carlos’ house. This is a great place for small families or couples eager to explore the mountains and lakes or crave a quiet getaway.
