Escape to Lago Iseo, where time seems to slow and beauty knows no bounds. Known for its unspoiled landscapes and charming lakefront towns, this hidden treasure invites you to wander cobblestone streets, savor fresh lake fish, and sip Franciacorta sparkling wines from the surrounding vineyards. Don’t miss a visit to Monte Isola, a car-free island filled with artisan shops, winding trails, and unbeatable views. Whether you’re paddling on the calm waters or indulging in a lakeside aperitivo, Lago Iseo offers tranquility that lingers long after your visit.
Lake Iseo is located between the two largest and best known lakes: Lake Garda to the east and Lake Como to the west. The area is called Franciacorta, the land of bubbles.
At the Riva Shipyard in Sarnico, Italy on Lake Iseo, dreams really do come true. As VIP guests of Alberto Galassi, the CEO of the Ferretti Group, the world’s most influential luxury yachting group operating six shipyards across Italy, we received the ultimate private tour and exceptional hospitality. The Factory Experience is reserved only for those looking for an unforgettable adventure. The experience includes a cruise in an Aquarama (the Riva Aquarama Super Gala’ to be precise) through the beautiful landscapes of the lake.
Riva motorboats are, of course, symbolic of luxury, elegance, style and performance. Riva has earned the admiration of all, whether in port or at sea. In November 1962, the legend was born: Aquarama. Her magical lines and irresistible allure made her an instant classic. A special story made of speed and passion. The Aquarama is perfection on water. The “Queen of the Riviera”, she is the object of desire. The most breathtakingly beautiful and elegantly handcrafted mahogany speedboat boat in the world.
Lago Iseo is an Italian hidden gem situated between the rolling hills of Lombardy, offering a tranquil escape with breathtaking scenery and charming villages. This serene destination promises intimate moments with nature, wine, and history. Far from the crowds of Como or Garda, it’s a slice of untouched Italian paradise.
