Caio! We arrived yesterday afternoon to Lake Iseo, Italy. It’s the fourth largest of the Italian lakes. We are staying in a great hotel overlooking the lake, Relais Mirabella. It’s well worth considering if you are in the area. Excellent service and an impressive dining room. Most rooms have a lake view.
There was time yesterday to squeeze in a visit to Ballducchi Winery, famous for Franciacorta, a sparking wine rivaling Champagne.
Today was a visit and lunch to Monte Isola, an island in the middle of Lake Isola. With two compact towns clinging to the hills it is famous for the art installation by Christo in 2016 that drew over 2 million visitors.
It was a pleasant way to spend a day.
Tomorrow, we are off to Verona!

It’s so beautiful!! And you obviously are enjoying perfect weather. Have fun, my dears!
What a lovely discovery. Yes, I would love to go there — some time we will! The Relais hotel must be very fine, if it is a member of the Relais et Chateau collection.
This looks like a great trip. I really love the mountains. I keep waiting to hear about the Dolomites but you seem to be taking the long way via the Swiss Alps. Verona will be taking you pretty close.
