Grazia and Gianni (and the cats) are super hosts! They were always so very friendly and communicative (easy communication in English) and always eager to help when we had questions. We had some great chats and they had tips for activities in the area around Sarnico. We felt very welcome in their home all the time! On the first night we could borrow their tandem to ride to the nearest LIDL market to buy some groceries which was very convenient. We were allowed to use the kitchen and cook dinner and had our own spot in the fridge.
Breakfast was great and served outside in the garden at our chosen time in the morning. Grazia and Gianni prepared a small menu from which you can choose what you want for breakfast (e.g. scrambled eggs with toast, yoghurt, ham & cheese with toast etc). It was just lovely!
The room we stayed in is situated in the general living area of the apartment. We had our own keys and could come and go as we wanted which was very convenient. The room itself is very small which was no problem for us because we were away all day and only slept in it. The bed is large and comfy. The private bathroom on the other hand is very large and has all essentials you might need for your stay.
Grazia’s and Gianni’s apartment is located in the small but charming town Sarnico at the south end of Lago d’Iseo. It is only 10 min to the beach and promenade, where you can also catch the ferry to explore other locations around the lake, like the beautiful Monte Isola. There are lots of shops and restaurants around. We greatly recommend the pizzeria “L’Approdo” with amazingly friendly service and tasty food and wine.
All in all we highly recommend staying with Grazia and Gianni! Thank you very much for your hospitality, we had a great time in Sarnico!
