What a beautiful place this is! The room was beautiful and spacious with a French balcony. Swimming pool area was lovely and so was the breakfast room. Breakfast had everything you wanted and eggs were made to your liking. Staff was very friendly,especially the ladies working in the reception. The whole place and the grounds were very well maintained. Beautiful greenery and flowers surrounded the hotel.But,and I’m very sorry there’s a but.The restaurant has gorgeous views of lago di Iseo,but no views can help this restaurant. We off course sat outside on the terrace to enjoy the view,but that was all we enjoyed. The waiters,two of them, either overworked or just bored. They had between them only eight guests the whole night as far as we could see,but we actually never had any service. Yes we had our food and drinks handed to us,but no one pored the wine or water,no one asked how the food was,no one as much as looked in our direction unless we flagged them down.And the food was not good. We tried some local fish which didn’t taste bad,but it was the color grey. Then we had some pork,and the meat was if possible even grayer. Nothing looked very appealing. I am amazed that they don’t make the most of the potential they have. Get a chef that makes simple Italian colorful food and server’s whom actually like what they are doing. This hotel and it’s guests deserve it. They had a very popular seafood restaurant just next door which was packed both nights we were there. I don’t know if that’s the reason they don’t prioritize their own restaurant.Also they could do a lot to improve the atmosphere. Some flowers and candles on the table and some music would at least make it nice to enjoy a drink while watching the scenery . Stay away from the bar though,it was used to stack dirty plates on. Are they forgetting that you have to walk by it to go to the bathroom ?Well,after our complaint the gave us a bottle of wine,and recommended us a lovely local little Osteria the next day. Were the food was simple,but great. We would love to come again,but we would definitely go somewhere...
Read moreDuring our trip to Northern Italy earlier this year, we stayed at the Hotel Relais Mirabella for several days, in the vicinity of Lake Iseo. It is truly an amazing place! You open your room balcony door to overlook Lake Iseo, with the Swiss Alps in the distance. Our viewed was tainted a day or so by rain, but often that rain was followed by beautiful rainbows over the lake. The visuals are stunning, breathtaking!
The staff at the hotel, from the front desk to the restaurants and bar, was impeccable. No matter what was requested, or need was expressed, it was instantly provided with smiles and cheeriness. The food at both restaurants was amazing. The rooms are big and clean, all modern amenities provided. The beds huge and very comfortable. The daily room rate is shockingly reasonable for all that's included.
Our stay at the hotel included a boat tour of Lake Iseo, as well as tours of several attractions close to the hotel (separate reviews on those outings). We could have stayed for weeks... perhaps someday! Highly recommend Hotel Relais Mirabella Iseo. If you're ever close, you need to stay and...
Read moreWe really enjoyed this hotel. First and foremost the staff were wonderful and very helpful throughout our stay helping with recommendations and reservations. From the team at the front desk to the bar and breakfast area, everyone was always pleasant and accommodating. The hotel grounds are impeccable and are constantly being tended to by staff members. The room was comfortable, clean and offered A/C, Wifi, and also a very comfortable bed! The views were fantastic not only from our room, but from the bar and breakfast area. Breakfast offers a wide range of pastries, fresh fruit, vegetables, and cold cuts, you can also order coffee and eggs. The hotel doesn't offer a dinner option, but does have Da Nadia restaurant onsite which is was fine, but was a bit pricey and requires reservations well in advance. The hotel has cold lunch option available and the bar which we enjoyed during our stay. There are also restaurants nearby, we found some great options in Sarnico just minutes by car. Overall just wonderful stay, we would...
