About Hotel Ambra

Hotel Ambra's a really authentic, family-run hotel on one of Italy’s lesser known lakes, which means you’ll be away from the usual tourist trails and everything feels more relaxed. There’s plenty to see and do in the area and the hotel’s location makes it easy to get out and explore.

The town’s main piazza is close by so you can head here for some food or a drink. The lakefront location is great for watching the boats coming in and out of the harbour, and it's right by the port where you can grab a boat to Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Europe with a charming pedestrianised town. We love having lunch here in one of the little lakefront trattorias.

The best part of the hotel is its staff- they’re incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you’re a keen walker, speak to them and get some ideas of what routes to do around the lake. We love the ones that take you past the famous Franciacorta wineries. It’s the perfect excuse to stop for a rest and drink some bubbles.

Discover Lake Iseo

  • Go in search of the Big Benches on local walking trails
  • Indulge in Franciacorta sparkling wine by the lake
  • Hop on a ferry to the mountain village of Monte Isola

With Lake Garda to the east and Lake Como to the west, Lake Iseo is a case of out of sight, out of mind for many visitors to the Italian Lakes. Italians, meanwhile, have been spending their summer holidays here for decades, drawn in by the laid-back fishing towns strung around the waterfront- and the walking, cycling and ferry routes that link them. The Medieval Iseo town, on the south bank, comes alive in the summer. From here, ferries cross between fishing villages and sanctuary-topped islands. Up in the hills, wine-makers are busy creating Lake Iseo’s beloved Franciacorta fizz, as they have done for generations.

More about Lake Iseo

Things to do in Lake Iseo

If you have time for only one trip, hop on the ferry crossing to Iseo's main attraction, car-free Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Europe.

The islands' main industry has always been the production of wooden boats, fishing nets and fishing- stroll around the narrow alleys and streets to get a taste of the old style Lake Iseo, where fishing traditions are still going strong. Silvery fish dry on lines along the shore and net-making is a living tradition- including making nets for football goals used in the FIFA World Cup. For the best views in the summer, walk along the stone mule tracks up to Madonna della Ceriola – a frescoed church perched on the highest point of the island.

This pedestrianised island really is a fantastic spot for a walk- why not book onto our Monte Isola guided walk, to get a real flavour of the landscape around this beautiful island.

If you fancy a day trip, head to the Church of Santa Maria delle Neve in Pisogne, where you'll find frescoes of the Passion of the Christ by Romanino. For more art don't miss the Valcamonica rock engravings in Capo di Ponte, which have been engraved over thousands of years, from the pre-historic to medieval and iron ages. This is fantastic if you want a more personal look at the area throughout the ages.

There are plenty of castles for you to enjoy, like the 12th Century Breno Castle and the Castello Quistini. The Castello Quistini has stunning gardens which you can also visit. 

You can catch the ferry to nearby towns such as Iseo, Sarnico, Castro and Pisogne, taking just over two hours to cross the whole lake from north to south. You can also catch the train to see even more towns such as Sulzano. Bergamo's also close-by. Why not take a day trip and get to know this historic city which dates back to the 6th Century BC.
