Unfairly neglected in favour of the larger lakes, Lake Iseo (Lago d’Iseo) is more tranquil and less self-consciously quaint. The lake is short on the beautiful attractions that are a hallmark of the other lakes, but compensates with a gentler way of life, fine walks and a delightful unspoilt island to explore.

Iseo

The best base from which to explore the lake is Iseo 1 [map], an attractive historic town that has not completely sold out to tourism. Until the 1870s, it was a significant port that shipped grain from Valle Camonica and steel from the industrial lakeside ports. Today it is a commercial town on a smaller scale. Sandwiched between the waterfront and the feudal Castello Oldofredi, it retains its cosy medieval street pattern and an elegant lakeside promenade.
