Casa Paradise

We liked many things about Dario's marvellous apartment: - We are a big family (four kids, plus the grandparents travelled with us, so a total of 8), and the apart is really very spacious. - The location of the apartment is absolutely breathtaking, right on the waterfront at lake Iseo with a beautiful view of the lake from most of the rooms including the master bedroom and the dining room. - Even though the building is located on one of Castro's main thoroughfares, it was absolutely quiet and there was no traffic noise worth mentioning - Dario and his wife were very forthcoming hosts and made our stay very convenient and enjoyable. - The region is absolutely marvellous - the lake is beautiful, the mountains around it are rugged and wild, the towns on the lake are very pretty and you can even visit larger cities such as Bergamo or Brescia with a one hour drive. - No overtourism. Those who have travelled other parts of Italy such as Tuscany of Lago di Garda know that it can get very crowded at times. Not so much at Lago d'Iseo as it is located somewhat off the beaten path and the only tourists we met were Italians who came to the lake on the weekend, probably from Brescia and Bergamo. During the week it was very quiet (might be a bit more busy during high season, but most likely it will be nowhere near the more famous holiday regions).

Since we arrived early in the year weather was a bit of a mixed bag, so I'd suggest to wait for April or May before you travel because when you have a cold spring like we did, you might find it's not yet comfy enough to sit on the terrace of a cafe enjoying your coffee or Aperol Sprizz. This of course is hardly Dario's fault and it is worth mentioning that we were able to make good use of our time despite the unpleasant weather. I guess we are going to come back to lake Iseo and next time we will make sure to travel when the sun is up :-) The only thing we did not like as much about the apartment was that there was no dishwasher, so doing the dishes of our gang of a family was a bit annoying.

Great view. Huge and comfortable apartment. Very good communication with the host. Strongly reccomend!

Casa paradise is a wonderful place with a wonderful lake view, Dario is very cind and accessible host.

We didn't like the fact that he took extra money for the sheets and towels.
