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.

magnificent views of the lake and of Monte Isola.

or any other place on the lake by fast boat services.
