Discover the charm of Lake Iseo through an experience designed to inspire and enchant.

The excursion invites guests to embrace the gentle rhythm of the lake, surrounded by timeless scenery and a sense of quiet wonder that defines this hidden gem. Lake Iseo is home to Montisola, the largest inhabited lake island in Europe, as well as the two small islands of Loreto and San Paolo. The excursion includes a tour around all three islands (Montisola, Loreto, and San Paolo, thus covering the entire Lake Iseo), with a stop and free time to explore Peschiera Maraglio, a picturesque village located on the southeastern tip of Montisola. Founded in the early Middle Ages as a fishing outpost of Iseo, it is one of the island’s most important centers and undoubtedly its most iconic image. It lies at the foot of extensive coppice woods and cypress groves that stretch across the island’s broad eastern slope. As the day transitions into evening, the experience continues in Brescia at the Museo Auto Storiche —once the renowned Mille Miglia Museum—an iconic space that celebrates movement, elegance, and the spirit of innovation. Within its evocative setting, where history and passion for engineering come alive, guests will enjoy a memorable dinner immersed in a truly distinctive ambiance.
