Terrazza Fantastica sul Lungolago

We loved our stay in Sale Marasino! The children, especially, did not want to leave after 4 nights! The home is directly on the main road that goes around the lake, so it is very convenient, with parking just across the street, as well as a nice bakery, a grocery store, and a few cafes within in a couple of minutes walk. It is a very local town, without the hoards of tourists you see elsewhere, which we liked. The market was a wonderful surprise (I think it was Wednesday morning), and we stocked up on everything we needed to eat at home. If you are prepared for the fact that the road is noisy (it is unavoidable if you stay right on the lake), this home is really wonderful. Francesca was so friendly and kind, and her grandchildren were lovely playmates for our children, sharing all of their toys and games with us. The home is old, charming, clean and comfortable. We slept very well as the rooms are in the back and stay dark and quiet. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Francesca!

Everything working and convenient. Francesca was really nice and helpful.

It was a really nice stay. The appartment was exactly what we expected. Francesca is such a nice lady and very helpful!

The location and view of the Lake is beautiful. The host very kind and helpfull. The apartment is a bit dated , but charming and we had A very great time

This was an amazing week. Francesca met us at the house, communicated with us in the weeks and days before our arrival, so everything was so easy. The house is wonderful, with a large terrace overlooking Lake Iseo with large table and many chairs. Sale Marasino is the perfect location to go anywhere in the region - in 6 days we did Verona, Lake Garda, Brescia, Iseo, Edona - all via car, bus and local trains. All with the added help of Francesca! Every time I had a question, within an hour she responded. I hope SO much we can return to her beautiful house and garden. Thank you Francesca!

We stayed two weeks and had a great time. We could have our boat in front of the apartment for most of the time. The place stayed cool, even though it was hot outside (36C). Breakfast on the terrace was a daily joy. Simple but spacious apartment with great beds, we can recommend it.

Francesca was a wonderful hostess and the apartment was perfect for our needs (there were 2 adults and 4 kids). Simple, clean, a beautiful view of the lake, (exactly what you see in the picture), and in a great location to see the area. Francesca helpfully supplied linens and towels, there is a beautiful deck with table/chairs/umbrella, and she pointed us to whatever we needed - bank, grocery, bakery, pizza. We were there specifically to see Christo's 'Piers' installation and Francesca helped us avoid the crowds and make our way to Monte Isola by ferry instead of waiting in line for 3 hours! That small piece of advice was key to making our visit a success. Francesca's daughter, son-in-law, son were all equally warm and friendly. Lake Iseo is beautiful and Francesca's apartment was a great place to stay.

We stayed in the apartment over Easter 2016 and really enjoyed it. The house is very typical and has nice gardens. The apartment itself is quite spacious and was very clean. We found everything we needed. Needless to say that we used the huge terrace with its magnificent view over the lake for having breakfast, hanging out in the sun and having some sundowners. A supermarket, bakery and the ferry to the island are in walking distance. Last but not least: Francesca was a charming host and we can only recommend staying with her. Best regards, Daniel & friends

Lake Iseo, with Monte Isola rising from the centre (the largest island in the middle of a lake in Europe), is very beautiful. As the photo shows, the view from the balcony is quite stunning. The balcony is pretty much south facing, so it becomes an extension of the living area. We always ate breakfast here, and watched the sun light up the island across the water. A great start to any day. Just across the road there was a place to access the lake, and my son and daughter were delighted to swim as often as they liked. There was easy (free)parking a short walk from the apartment, with shops and a good bakery. The ferry terminal was close by and this gave good access to the island. My husband cycled in the mountains, and we walked the interesting paths on the island and in the 'Zone'. The apartment was a deliciously cool place to hide on a hot day, and a great place to retreat to after being out and about. But the best thing about this vacation home is that it is at the side of a beautiful old family home, and the family are so welcoming and generous at sharing their local knowledge, that we instantly felt at home. I would also thoroughly recommend purchasing some of the family's wine from their vineyard. It was delicious. We loved being in this special place so much that we stayed a second week, and hope to return in the future.

The flat was good, very large, clean and with a beautiful terrace facing the lake. Everything was as expected. The location is perfect if one wants to visit Verona and Milan. We liked our stay in Sale Marasino very much and we definitely consider coming back. Thank you Francesca!
