Franciacorta, a wine-producing area in northern Italy, is scarcely touched by tourism and in recent years has forged ahead as a resort offering delightful breaks. Locanda L`Albereta in Erbusco uniquely combines the highlights of the region on the south shore of Lake Iseo. This beautiful, luxurious hotel with enchanting views located in the middle of a vineyard, is attached to a top quality wine-growing estate and serves as the domain for a famous chef.
