Franciacorta Golf Hotel Residence

After breaking down on our trip from Venice to England we stopped in paratico we had never been here luckily our sat nav diverted us here from the motorway .we walked in explaining our vechile had gone into lymp mode and if they had any rooms for the nights lovely lady on reception said yes and for a family of 4 for bed & breakfast we were charged €80 .our room was spacious and clean .we had a double bed & single bed ,lots of large mirrored wardrobe & drawer space,dressing table area,large bathroom area with a generous selection of soaps shampoos shower hats slippers all in packaging.mini bar which was so handy to store milk .air con,tv,full length window with a lovely view of the lake ,village and mountains ,small lift that was big enough for adult and pushchair ,spacious reception /lounge area with seating ,polite friendly staff,free wifi.after settling our belongings into our room we needed some food so left our room and asked the receptionist where a nice resturant was .Whilst we had been in our room the receptionist had looked up literally all the garages in the area and wrote all their constant details down for us !we went for a meal at La Smorfica resturant just below the hotel,which was absolutely fantastic! the breakfast at the golf hotel was held in a large room with seating inside and outside and consisted of a large selection of coffee ,fresh juice,cereal,fruit,pastries,toast and jams,5minute stroll to vibrant nightlife and over lake iseo to the beautiful historic town of sarnico which is full of charactor and at the time we were there we were lucky enough to see a festival they have there which attracts lots pf people but not to many they have all different stalls alongside the lake wall,hotels,sophisticated bars resturants and amazing icecream parlours,boat trips,cobbled roads shops and boutiques .there is a certain romance to the place at night .we really found a hidden gem and plan to return here on our next vacation to Italy .the only negatives for me was my first impression of the outside of the building containing the hotel would that it looked neglected almost unused regardless i would reccomend.
