Stayed in Giovanni’s place for two nights. The view was even better than in pictures and was seen from all the rooms. We didnt rent a car, so yes it was quite difficult to walk up and down the hill (especialy in july when its verry hot outside). Took us about 5-10 min to get down, and the road is very steep. Closest town is Predore, about 15-20 min walk. And other closest is Sarnico, but that is a long walk ( about an hour). We took ferry from Predore to Iseo, was about 4 eiro per person (tickets can be purchased on boat). There is about 3-4 boats that stop in Predore during the day, and buses every two hours or so (bus tickets can be purchased in shops next to bus stops). So it is possible to travel around the lake with no problems, just maybe with a little less comfort. There is restaurant down the road right next to lake with beautiful view - Molo 31. But be aware that it is closed on tuesdays. Closest food shops are in Predore or Sarnico. Overall everything was perfect and we enjoyed staying there!
