We've had fantastic time at Alessandra's parents' home! The villa is located in a marvellous place, with the garden overlooking the Iseo Lake. The house is built with natural materials - stone and wood - making it fuse with the nature around it. Each room has a separate bathroom. The living room is located in the middle of the house and offers breathtaking direct view of the lake. The garden has many exotic flowers, chairs for relaxation and a BBQ place.
The location is quiet, yet easy to reach by car. The village itself has a cosy embankment with a few cafes and restaurants on the lakeshore. Many good restaurants are located at a distance of a few minutes drive by car.
Eric and Mari met us when we arrived, and accompanied us to their home. Mari had cooked an Italian dinner - I wish we had known that prior to arrival, because we've just have had our dinner at a local pizzeria! Eric was extremely helpful and friendly, showing us around his house and recommending us places to visit around the lake. Eric speaks many languages so that everybody in our multinational group could find a common language for understanding!
I wholeheartedly recommend Eric, Mari and Alessandra's place for anybody who wants to explore lake Iseo, Lombardy and Veneto, or just looking for a place to gather strength and find new sources of inspiration! I'd love to return to Eric's place some day.
