Monte Isola and La Perla – what an amazing hidden gem! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the friendliest and most attentive staff, who made us feel right at home. The service throughout our stay was truly outstanding. The island itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful scenery and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. Be aware that there are quite a few steep hills if you want to walk down to the lake, but the views are well worth the effort. We also discovered a lovely little grocery store in the village of Menzino, where the staff were incredibly kind, as well as a charming café with equally warm and welcoming service. The only negative experience during our entire stay was our visit to the pizzeria in the neighboring village, where the staff were unfortunately rather indifferent and unfriendly. Overall, our stay was perfect, and we would happily give it 10 out of 10. We would definitely love to come back!
