Monte Isola hotels

Pros: Paolo made our few days on Monte Isola absolutely wonderful! His help getting to and from, his restaurant suggestions, and especially his friendly attitude made our stay! The breakfast was above what we imagined — the variety and the hospitality (especially with coffee orders) was so appreciated after many weeks of breakfast on the go. We also appreciated the cold water bottles, as it was much hotter and strenuous on the island than expected. Last, the proximity to the bus stop and accessible parks was ideal!

Cons: The bed and lack of air conditioning was really tough, especially in the heat of summer, with our room overlooking the early-birds of the grocery store. We didn’t feel it was necessary for new towels every day.

Pros: Paolo and his family were wonderful hosts. We booked a small room and they upgraded us at no charge since it was empty. The breakfasts were amazing. We looked forward to it every morning.

Cons: Everything was wonderful. No complaints.

Pros: Absolutely wonderful, the room, the facilities, the breakfast and especially the owners. Paolo made you feel as though you were part of the family.

Cons: We like everything

Pros: Everything was just great. And Paolo, the owner, is a fantastic person. From the first moment he made us feel super welcome. We had a wonderful stay and were sad to leave.

Pros: It‘s a great place! Cozy, beautiful, atmospheric. The host is very friendly and helpful. Wonderful holiday, thanks a lot! I will come back for sure!

Pros: The owners are very accommodating and friendly. Paulo picked me up from the pier and gave me a quick history lesson on the island. His wife called and made reservations for dinner for me. My room had amazing views. The property is very well kept and clean. Good location if you don't want to be in the crowds of Peschiera Maraglio. Peace and serenity. Would return if I had the chance.

Cons: The mattresses were very hard, but that is just my personal preference of a soft mattress.

Pros: Paolo, the owner and his wife! They were fantastic. Paolo also operates one of the island taxis (cars are not allowed), so not only did he provide wonderful advice regarding places to see and restaurants to dine in, but he also provided the transport. Breakfast was lovely - from freshly made cakes and pastries to choices of fruit, cheeses and great coffee. Overall an authentic and refreshing form of genuine hospitality.

Pros: Paulo and his wife were super! Everything about the place was great! Can't wait to go back, will highly recommend to anyone.

Cons: Liked everthing.

Pros: Paolo and his family are fantastic hosts. We felt well taken care of with their thoughtfulness. The breakfast was terrific with homemade cakes, cheeses, meats, and beautiful fruit. So glad we came to this lake rather than the other larger ones. The island was so tranquil.

Cons: No AC but there were two large fans in the room that did the trick.

Pros: This is a gem. Paolo made us feel at home. And the view is spectacular from the hotel! Perks: amazing breakfast, view and super clean. It also has a pool for those hot afternoons. And it's a family run business, and they make you feel lika part of the family. Everything from giving you home made cappuccino in the morning, saying good morning to Nonna watering the plants, eating at the near by pizzeria... Its a genuine Italian experience on a very small island and we truly enjoyed it.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Large and plain but nice room. Great location.

Cons: View of a wall. Electrical issues in the room. Restaurant was mediocre. Room was stuffy and AC was weak.

Pros: View from the top floor-location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location is perfect for a restful holiday. The owners and their staff were delightful people, genuinely pleased to welcome us and happy to provide any help or advice we needed.

Cons: We had no complaints.

Pros: Lovely people, beautiful place, not so known by foreign tourists so not crowded at all

Cons: Would like a wider range of food in the hotel's restaurant

Pros: Perfect location, 3 minutes from the port in Sensole. Breathtaking view from the room, which was very nice and comfy. The bathroom freshly renovated. The staff only speaks Italian but they were supercool and helpful, we communicate with Google translate, it was fun and works enough well. Breakfast was fresh, the croissant 10/10. I was alone all day at the private beach, totally feels like heaven. I'll be back for sure!

Cons: Tv didn't work, but it wasn't a real problem at all.

Pros: We booked the Hotel Sensole by accident and last-minute. We were positively surprised by the stunning location, the quality of the rooms and most importantly by the natural, honest care of the owners and their staff. They made our holiday incredible and extraordinary. So much so that we extended our stay twice and will definetely go back! The hotel is situated in the most quiet part of Monte Isola with spectacular views over the Iseo Lake. The hotel also owns a private beach immerse in the green and with direct access to the lake for bathing. What a treat!

Cons: The idyllic location was at times disturbed by scooters that seem to be allowed everywhere on the island (as there are no cars) with no limitations of time, vicinity to hotesl, and/or smaller roads. We have encouraged the owners to make a point with the local authorities and we also provided direct feedback to them.

Pros: Cleanliness. Location. Breakfast

Cons: I had asked if i could pay with a card but this was suddenly a problem when i checked out. The bill was not detailed so difficult to check.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything! Amazing location and excellent b&b. So happy I went there!

Cons: Only challenge was the language..I do not speak Italian..

Pros: Very warm ambiance, very special village setting - no cars, narrow cobbled streets - friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast (will cook lunch and dinner for you, if you wish) and spectacular views.

Cons: Could use another bedside light

Pros: Host was amazing. Breakfast food was brilliant even catering to vegan diet. And as a gay couple it was nice to be received with no questions

Pros: Very good service sand staffs! Breathalking panoramic view from the bar. Try local wine&salami from bar. I will definitely return to stay here. TIP: For travellers with luggage, it is better to come by bus(pullman) from another village like Peschiera, because we need to climb from the Siviano Pier. But small backpack would be alright.

Pros: rooms big and very clean. Everything was new and confortable. Tina very kind, the position, in Siviano, perfect. We enjoy the stay in this side of the island, romantic week end, we will be back next year!

Cons: Very nice family run b&b. Although the village is on the opposite side of the main place of Monte Isola, it is easy to reach by bus or a nice hike. We were even picked up at the harbour by the owners! They also run a very lovely bar close to the accomodation on the main piazza of the little village where we got a nice, for Italian standards rich breakfast.

Pros: Nice view Great atmosphere on the island Very friendly host

Pros: Staff were very friendly and kind despite little English. Bar Tina did a great breakfast as well as lovely dinner. Location was perfect for 2 nights hiking Monte Isola

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great approach to guests. The owner has also a pub nearby with great view on the lake. The room was very clean, new furniture and great bathroom like from very expensive hotel.

Pros: Perfect beautiful and relaxing place - wonderfull stay

Pros: We spent a wonderful weekend at Monte Iseola with friends as part of our trip to Italy. Staying at Castello Olfredi was a definite highlight! The staff (in particular, Simona and Valentina) were very friendly and helpful, the room was well appointed and comfortable (with an incredible view!), and the location was superb for exploring the island and lake. We would love to return some day!

Cons: The restaurant is a bit expensive, with few options for small children. It would be great if there was a cafe or less expensive option on site, but there are plenty of other restaurants and a bakery nearby so it wasn't a problem.

Pros: Very good service, the staff is really helpfull and nothing is too much. The location is wonderful and the view amazing. To have a breakfast/ lunch/ dinner with an amazing view on the lake is superb. The quality of the restaurant on the premise is very good and they have a nice twist on typical dishes.

Cons: Breakfast is 14 EUR, it is optional, but not worth 14 EUR.

Pros: A stunning location

Cons: The apartment we stayed in was in need of some repair to certain things. A little more attention to detaill could have made it much better. The towels in the bathroom were very warn and the shower cubical small. The second bedroom overlooked a flat roof and stairs that went into the kitchen and staff were standing outside the room smoking. It was very small and not very well furnished.

Pros: Location great & lots of restaurants nearby. Ferry trips to various parts of Lago.

Pros: Great location and beautiful setting.

Cons: Pool was a bit dirty. Hidden costs at booking - €75 cleaning charge was in very small print at point of booking.

Pros: We were there out of season, and is was just wonderful, quiet and beautiful hotel and location.

Pros: Staff were so lovely . Especially Valentino who was so helpful .All the other staff were lovely and friendly. The room had the most amazing picture postcard view. Monteisola and the Castello are a little hidden gem. This was our second year back in Monte Isola and we love it. Thank you for our stay x

Pros: This place was fantastic. We were traveling with friends, and we rented a two bedroom suite. It was great, and the breakfast was amazing. We dined there for one evening, and the dinner did not disappoint. It was a comfortable and enjoyable stay - we would definitely go again if we return to Monte Isola!

Cons: Highly recommend blankets be provided in the bedrooms if needed. Our beds only had sheets, and we wished we also had a comforter. Other than that, perfect!

Pros: Breakfast was fab and the location is beautiful, the pool was nice and refreshing but small, there are lots of steps if that was an issue for someone mobility wise. It really felt like the Italian dream

Cons: The island is small and lovely but I would imagine you would need no more than 3 days unless you wanted to completely switch off and chill

Pros: It was the perfect stay on a gorgeous island. Grazie per tutto

Cons: Staff / owners very off-hand and unwelcoming. Had to ask for everything. Absolutely disappointing breakfast - totally unlike anywhere else I have visited over 2 decades of travel in Italy.

Pros: Lovely island and place to relax. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Quiet place. Nice view of the lake from the window.

Cons: the "double bed" option consists in two joined single mattresses, so it's not a real king size bed

Pros: The Italian lady of the house is very friendly. We arrived very late and she allowed us have a few beers and offered to make some sandwiches. Very friendly. Super location. Great view from balcony.

Pros: Room was comfortable and ac worked well after a hot day on the lake. Delicious restaurant. Breakfast had homemade tarts and muffins. We could smell them baking from our room! Gorgeous view. Nice to have our boat right at the bouy Friendly family hotel

Cons: Bathroom did not smell fresh and mold in shower that cleaners can’t see unless they stand in the shower. No yoghurt or cereal/milk with breakfastbut perhaps this just isn’t “Italian”!

Pros: The view was exquisite and the location was still and quiet.

Cons: Breakfast was poor, communication was poor, value for money was poor.

Pros: What a gem! Though Lago di Iseo/Monte Isola is not as known as the other bigger lakes it is absolutely a Diamond of Italy! La Foresta was an amazing property overlooking the lake. The hospitality was second-to-none and we really enjoyed having a wonderful restaurant attached, family owned and run with great food and service! Our room had a balcony overlooking the lake and it’s was the most serene and peaceful way to end our trip in Italy. We loved the small town and the culture it had to offer. We highly recommend this property and experience as a whole!

Pros: The hotel was so lovely and peaceful to stay in. We thought it looked nice from the pictures online but actually was even better when you get there. The staff are so lovely and attentive, nothing is too much hassle and make you feel totally welcome. The bedroom we were in had a fabulous balcony overlooking the lake which made waking up there magical. The breakfast was a really nice collection of pastries, fruit, juices and amazing coffee, the perfect way to start a day on the island. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was amazing, the homemade pasta was exquisite and pared with the wine made it a night to remember.

Pros: ok breakfast

Cons: lady of the house speaks only a little english

Pros: Really clean, very large and spacious. Everything you could need was included in the apartment. The balcony was amazing, huge with a gorgeous view over the lake.

Pros: It was our 2nd time in La Perla and certainly not our last time there. La Perla is a great place to relax. Appartments are large and beautiful equiped. Terrace and garden are as well to relax as the swimming pool. La Perla is settled very good to discover Monte Isola, like to climb up to Santuario della Madonna della Ceriola, go to the public sea area to swim (don't forget water shoes) or just walk around the island and cross nice villages and locations to enjoy the dolce vita. You can also go by ferry to many other nice villages on Lago'd'Iseo from Monte Isola for a day or half-day trip. Team at La Perla is very helpul and friendly. Supermarket is 5 min distance walk, also there is a water source on the way to the market, where you can get water for free. We can recommend Ristorante Pizzeria La Torre in Siviano and if you don't want to walk, the island bus runs to every village on Monte Isola or you can rent bikes at La Perla.

Pros: This accommodation ruined our trip. There was nothing good about it.

Cons: We were 20 people coming over to spend the night at La Perla and the things looked like this: - we've got no answer from the accomodation until an hour prior arrival. - NOBODY was waiting for us. - the room were dirty and filled with spiders - the rooms were cold and we didn't know how to turn on the heat because NOBODY was there - we didn't know how to properly extend the sofa to make our own bed so we have to sleep 2 adults in one single bed - the linen was dirty - when we showed the owner photos with the dirt he agreed that we shouldn't pay the cleaning fee BUT AFTER A WEEK HE TOOK 100 EUROS FROM OUR CREDIT CARD. - this was THE WORST accommodation experience we ever had and we're world travels. - i DON'T RECOMMEND this place.

Pros: Very Nice appartment and pool. Staf very friendly .Nice island Monte Isola

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: The facilities were clean, modern and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful and spoke good english.

Pros: Fabio and his team are amazing and make you part of their family. My family of 7 felt completely at home. The pool is amazing, the location is close to shopping which is important being that you are on a car free island. And if you need to go somewhere by car, Fabio is more than happy to take you. Wifi works everywhere.

Cons: I have nothing to dislike about this property

Pros: Super location with a unique experience. Very nice hosts helping with clear directions how to get there. Big, well equipped apartmant, nice pool. Great location to enjoy nature, relax out of the crowd and pollution.

Pros: Monte isola is a beautiful island and the hotel is close to a nice beach.

Cons: The pool area was poor. The sunbeds where broken, however every morning they were arranged as if they were fixed which created some dangerous situations. Also it was difficult to get in contact with the staff.
