We visited Onepio to do the gold wine tasting which was excellent and great value for money. Most importantly we tasted a number of great wines - we were allowed to pick which ones we wanted to taste from a selection so it can be tailored to personal preferences. We had some lovely local cheeses and other snacks to accompany also. Our hostess was really knowledgable taking us through each wine and how its grown and produced. She struck a great balance between talking to us and giving us time to just enjoy the wine. We stayed for a drink after in the sunshine and ordered a few bottles to be sent home also. Very glad we visited.

Lake Iseo is paradise on earth, it is really beautiful. I am lucky to have friends who have boats and we have visited many places on Lake Iseo, and everywhere seems so pleasant like most of the local people we met, and as we can speak Italian quiet well we have spoken to quiet a few people and they all were very nice and easy to talk to as they talk a nice Italian with no dialect.

As much as this archeological site is interesting as such, it boasts the lake views to come there for! It is easy to spend several hours here, even half a day if the weather is nice. The museum is surrounded by meadows with old olive trees, so you will always find some shade. Bringing your own lunch and enjoy it sinking in the lake views could be a good idea!

Desiderio, ultimo re dei Longobardi, quando era ancora duca di Brescia, fondò con la moglie Ansa nel 753 il monastero benedettino femminile di San Salvatore. Il complesso monumentale - nel quale Alessandro Manzoni ambienta la morte di Ermengarda, figlia di Desiderio ripudiata da Carlo Magno - si arrichì nel corso dei secoli di edifici dedicati al culto e alla vita della comunità, con preziosi cicli affrescati, sino alla soppressione voluta da Napoleone nel 1798. A seguito di diverse funzioni, dopo un intervento di recupero e valorizzazione con un'estesa campagna di indagini archeologiche, dal 1998 nel monastero è stato aperto il Museo della città. Su circa 14.000mq, lungo un percorso cronologico, sono presentate circa 12.000 opere che permettono di seguire la storia di Brescia dal III millennio a.C. sino all'età rinascimentale.

The museum is located in old churches within the ancient city, consequently it offers a surprising variety of attractions ranging from remnants of an ancient Roman street to a chapel with magnificent frescoes as well as an impressive collection of art from the Antiquity to the Baroque. Not to be missed!

We had no expectations about Sirmione, lake Garda was the beauty we've expected to see and meet, but Sirmione ended up to be one of the most beautiful places we've visited this spring on our Northern Italy trip! Warm, peaceful, green, clean, flowery, with beautiful small stores and restaurants, narrow streets full of flowers and nice people... and stunning lake Garda surrounding it from all of it's sides. Truly beautiful and breathtaking! Perfect place for holidays, vacation and finding peace inside of yourself... even for summer vacation, you have beautiful places for swimming... amazing. Truly.

As we had a spare morning, we decided to explore Desenzano del Garda, which we reached by bus from Sirmione where we were staying. We are glad that we did as Desenzano is a delightful place, with its winding streets, free of the tourists that mob Sirmione, and everything is close together. Having been to the Roman villa in Sirmione, we naturally visited the one here, which was entirely different, more domestic in character, and with the most wonderful mosaic floors, each one different as one room flowed into another, with some of the patterns almost contemporary in design. The site starts with a small exhibition of some of the archaeological finds - others being in the main museum at the other end of the town. The Villas is not to be missed if you have an interested in Roman art and architecture. A sign of the new tourist priorities - new signs were in Italian and German, though we were provided with a booklet in English to borrow as we walked around.

We used the ferry services nearly every day that we were in Desenzano and it enabled us to see and visit so many of the lakeside towns from a fabulous viewpoint. The staff are helpful and all speak some English. The timetable sometimes needs a little understanding, as some of the routes go via several other stops. But, hey, relax you are on holiday in a gorgeous part of Italy Some of the boats are rapido service, for which there is a supplement. Some of the bigger boats offer refreshment facilities, ie drinks and snacks.
