Plan your stay at La Contrada

A bed and breakfast in the centre of Sarnico, a few steps from Lake Iseo, with an on-site restaurant and air-conditioned rooms featuring a private bathroom.

Room types

The rooms at La Contrada share an essential and functional setup: tiled floors, a private bathroom with bidet, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle for making tea or coffee independently. Free WiFi is available in every room, as is the fridge, useful for those staying a few extra days. The bed arrangement is flexible and must be communicated to the property at the time of booking, a handy detail for couples or guests with specific needs.

The offer includes two main room types, both 20 square metres but designed for different occupancies: a more intimate one for two people, with a view of the inner courtyard or a balcony depending on the room assigned, and a triple room able to host three guests thanks to the combination of a double bed and a single bed. A solution suited both to couples and to small groups or families with one child.

Location & what to see

La Contrada is located in the heart of Sarnico, a village on the southern tip of Lake Iseo, in an area where historic alleys, porticoes and small shops sit alongside restaurants and bars overlooking the water. The central location makes it possible to reach the lakeside promenade and the town’s main dining spots on foot, including Riccardo Restaurant and L’Altro Pizzicotto, both a few steps from the property.

Those arriving by train will find Paratico-Sarnico station about 300 metres away, while Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport can be reached in less than 18 km, a good reference point for those travelling by plane. Lake Iseo borders the town directly, and nearby there are historic sites such as Palazzo Torri, about 4.4 km away, and the Adro Tower, just under 5 km away, both testimonies to the area’s medieval past.

The area lends itself to different activities depending on the season: in summer the lake is the centre of local life, with the possibility of boat trips to Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Italy, while in the cooler months the hills surrounding the Sebino area offer routes through vineyards and olive groves, with views over the lake from Colle di San Fermo, about 7 km away. The Torbiere del Sebino Nature Reserve, slightly further away, is an excellent destination for nature walks and birdwatching.

Riccardo Restaurant — restaurant right next to the property, convenient for evening dinners 2 m
L'Altro Pizzicotto — restaurant a few steps away, ideal for quick meals in the town centre 40 m
Paratico-Sarnico Station — rail connection convenient for travelling towards Bergamo 300 m
Lake Iseo — body of water bordering the town, perfect for walks 0 m
