Apartment, 200m to the Shore of the Beautiful Lake Iseo
Situated In a Private Courtyard with Parking
Sleeps 2 (1 Bedroom)
|
|
The apartment is on the ground floor of a beautifully restored and converted loggia, with resident neighbours. It provides a wonderful base whether you want to relax or explore. Lake Iseo is a more manageable size than Garda or Como and retains much of it's own personality, having avoided excessive development. The lake is still fished using the traditional boat, the gondola style 'naet'. The vineyards in the hills surrounding the lake are famous for their sparkling wines and they welcome visitors. The apartment is only 12km from the Milan/Venice motorway and mainline railway stations but off the beaten track. Arranging a cycling holiday couldn't be easier. An evening at the opera is perfectly possible at either the Verona Arena or La Scala, Milano.

Guest comments
'We are delighted to be able to return'
'We had a wonderfully refreshing break, loved Clusane and the lake and exploring its surrounds and enjoyed being in the apartment. We visited Verona and saw 'Aida' in the Arena, made a trip to Milan and managed to see around the old city of Bergamo en route back'
Owner profile
About the owner
Jonathan and I bought our apartment in 2006 and have enjoyed exploring on foot, by bus, bike and car. We are something of an oddity in this very Italian village but the locals are incredibly welcoming and friendly. There are tourists in the area but they are mainly campers in sites along the shore of the lake to the west of Clusane.
Whether trying to get away from it all or coming with a list of things to do and places to see you will find all you need and more.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We plan to move to Italy to live and work for a few years before retirement.
Unique benefits of the property
It is a reasonably priced base which, with a car, could not be easier to get to quickly and, from which, the north of Italy is your oyster!
