Lake Iseo by Private Boat

Lake Iseo — smaller than Como, less famous than Garda, and arguably more beautiful than either — lies 25 minutes from the hotel. We have arranged exclusive access to a restored 1960s Riva launch captained by a local.

The morning itinerary: depart at 09:30, anchor off Monte Isola for swimming, lunch at a family-run trattoria on the water, then a slow return as the hills turn amber in the afternoon sun.

Maximum 4 guests per boat. Lunch at the guest’s expense. Available May through September.
