What a wonderful little corner of the world this house exists in! The house is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos, but even more spectacular is the view of Lake Iseo. It is a minutes walk to the other house, where the trees open up to reveal a glorious panoramic view of Lake Iseo, Corna Trentapassi and the mountain island of Monte Isola. We were fortunate that nobody else was staying in the other house as we were able to spend as much time as we liked there.

The house is very comfortable and was the perfect setting for some peace and quiet in the evenings curled up with a good book and playing some board games. The kitchen is very well stocked and contains many pots, pans, crockery, cooking utensils and cutlery. It has everything you need to put together a good meal.

The house is located at the end of a private road, so it is very quiet and serene. It is also located very close to a hiking trail that leads you up to a spectacular panoramic view of both ends of Lake Iseo at the San Defendente church.

Marco was a great host and the check in process was very smooth due to Marco meeting us in Solto Collina and letting us follow him up by car to the house. We would have had a lot of trouble finding the house without this, so we are thankful that it was organised this way. It was good to meet Marco as well as he gave us some superb recommendations of local restaurants, cafés and activities. Our personal favourite was the La Forneria bakery in Solto Collina. This is run by 3 very welcoming women and is a great place to kick off your day with some espressos/cappuccinos and exquisite brioches.

We hope to return to Lake Iseo in the near future and Marco's house will be right at the top of our wish list as a place to stay when we do.
