SALE MARASINO (BS)

Sale Marasino can be called one of the most beloved places by visitors, because of its perfect location in front of Monte Isola and of course close to the quiet and peaceful surroundings. It offers very fine hotels too. Centuries ago Sale Marasino lived a very wealthy period. You can see that especially looking at the facades of buildings and the various villas in town. Some examples: Casa Turla and Casa Tempini alongside the Sebina main road and Palazzo Mazzocchelli and Villa Martinengo. Driving through the streets that lead to Conche and Gandizzano one can enjoy magnificent views of the lake and of Monte Isola. From Sale Marasino it is easy to reach Monte Isola or any other place on the lake by fast boat services.
