Accommodation
With views from all rooms of the Franciacorta vineyards that cascade down the Lombardian hillsides, the boutique Relais & Chateaux L’Albereta provides refinement in a nineteenth century residence. Precious marble adorns deluxe bathrooms, whilst satins, silks and damasks abound and vintage furniture lends a distinguished air. Within the exclusive Cabriolet Suite, a draw-back roof gives vistas of the night skies from the comfort of the king-size bed. At Leonfelice, Chef Fabio Abbattista creates gourmet cuisine sourced locally wherever possible, while the atmospheric Vistalago Bistro serves typical Italian regional dishes accompanied by panoramas over Iseo Lake. Bringing body and soul back to optimum wellness is the aim of the therapies in the ultra-modern Espace Chenot Spa, where treatments inspired by Dr Henri Chenot follow the principles of Biontology. Maty’s Club is a place of pure fun for youngsters; hiring a bike with trail maps is a great way to discover the locality, where attractions include the Parco delle Sculture di Franciacorta open-air museum.
Italy is a year round destination especially for city breaks, with a largely temperate climate with regional variations. Summers are hot especially from Rome southwards, whilst spring and autumn are mild. Winter in the south is warmer and drier than in the northern and central areas which can be much colder with snow fall in the mountainous regions.
