Right now many of us are choosing a country refuge to find tranquility and relaxation away from the noise and chaos.

🇮🇹 Italian countryside homes are gradually becoming more noticed, and more northern Europeans, and non-europeans are coming to see what kind of life they might find here.

We took his picture last weekend at a viewing, around an hour and a half from Milan.

We’re looking at Lago d’Iseo which is about an hour from Milan, and a town you can cycle around in a day, as we did this summer….. towns around the lake to explore include Sarnico, Iseo, Sulzano, Lovere, Pisogne, Marone, Sale Marasino and Riva di Solto.
Popular visits include Monte Isole by ferry and travelling around the lake for lunch and dinner by ferry, seeing Lovere, as one of the most beautiful villages, trekking the Valeriana road, the gorge at Bogn di Zorzino, the cycleways of Marone and Pisogne, the Sebino reserve and Franciacorta region for exceptional wines. Further north is the alps and by the lake the climb to Monte Guglielmo and Corna Trentapassi provide wonderful panoramic views above the lake.
