Albergo Bellavista

Lake Iseo


The very friendly Paolo and his family run this comfortable spotless hotel in Siviano, on the northwest side of the lake. Rooms have sweeping views, and there's a rooftop terrace (up a spiral staircase) with lounge chairs offering even better panoramas.

Call to let him know you're coming and he'll pick you up (no extra charge) from the port – or drop off your luggage if you want to do the walk. Carzano is the closest dock. Outside summer, prices can dip by around 40%.
