The Lago d’Iseo is a beautiful and relatively unknown Italian lake in the Lombardy region, near Brescia.
Here we give you a beautiful photo gallery of the Italian town Monte Isola.
The town is actually an island, with about 1800 residents, that faces the town of Iseo.
Monte Isola can be reached by boat and is one of the larger islands on the Iseo Lake, though road transport is prohibited.
It’s like a little Venice, but on a lake in Lombardy.
This peaceful oasis can be visited on foot with an itinerary that takes in the Santuario della Ceriola on the hilltop with panoramic views.
You can also hire bicycles on the island and the gallery below should give you plenty of incentive to visit.
Go to the Monte Isola site for more tourist information on this beautiful Italian lake.
Monte Isola is part of the most beautiful towns in Italy society and staying there means you can explore the wonderful local Italian cuisine of the area, including salami, perch from the lake, polenta made in copper pots and apple desserts.
