Bossico is absolutely stunning! It a quiet little town up in the mountains amongst the clouds overlooking spectacular scenery of Lake Iseo. Perfect for hikers, mountain bikers, or to simply escape the city and enjoy the friendly local culture. There are several stores in a very short walking distance which sell local Bossico produce - cheese, salami, bread etc., and it is absolutely delicious. Also, the nearby Hotel Milano sells the most amazing pizzas for only 5 EUR - the best pizza we've EVER eaten!!
You can very simply get a bus into the bigger town of Bergamo close by, and Angela often invited to take us with her when she went in.
Angela is a great host, on occasion she would pop in with a local treat - croissant, or a plate of local cheese and salami and see how we were doing.
Our only difficulty was our lack of understanding Italian, we had to rely on Google translate to get by. We would recommend grasping the basics at a minimum.
