The territory

Lake Iseo offers tourists an extraordinary area rich in landscapes and colours changing in every season.
The Lake dominates the area and is surrounded by the pre-Alps reflected in its waters, creating spectacular effects …yet such peacefulness is only an appearance: from Spring onwards, the delicate breezes typical of the area suggest very enjoyable sports.
Our Lake is extremely popular with enthusiasts of windsurfing, sailing and kite-surfing. Nor should we underestimate the sweet hills of Franciacorta, home not only to excellent wines but also to delightful cycling itineraries for all levels of ability.

The pearl of the Lake

Rivalago Hotel enjoys a delightful location opposite Montisola - the true jewel of our Lake and one of the finest villages in Italy - with superb views.
An efficient, well-established navigation service ensures frequent links with the main centres on the Lake from Montisola - and the landing stage is only a short stroll from the hotel. The “famous” boat tour of the Lake offers tourists the chance to enjoy lovely villages with picturesque ports set in splendid scenarios, as well as occasions to taste local specialities prepared with lake fish that the fishermen living on the Island supply to numerous restaurants

Torbiere. A nature reserve of rare beauty and home to an astonishing variety of wildlife: swans and wild ducks, grebes and moorhens build their nests on its banks - while mammals such as moles, hedgehogs, badgers and squirrels find an ideal habitat hereabouts.

Nearby cities of historic interest include Brescia, Bergamo and Mantua - yet even Verona, Venice and Milan are easily reached from our hotel: the nearby railway and the new ring-road ensure excellent communications with such places.
Outdoor walkers will also find a great many typical "trattorias" and restaurants with fine chefs offering delights for tourists seeking new flavours accompanied by excellent wines.
