Profile
|
 A villa - hotel on a hill, between the Alps and Lake Iseo, where great wines, golf and a feeling of home are born. Here, and precisely here, Gualtiero Marchesi has renewed his love for cooking. At the Albereta, the starting point for excursions and art itineraries, where the tradition of countryside holidays is renewed, an ancient, simple and refined pleasure. A happy hilly zone between the southern shore of Lake Iseo and the Po river valley: Franciacorta, is a quite pastoral land of the ancient Brescian nobility, offering a rare balance between landscape and nature. Here, the hills surrounded by still uncontaminated nature draw the eye, a place where greenery commands. |
 Surrounded by the greenery of Franciacorta, a land famous for its vines, the Albereta is an ideal place for relaxation. The fascination of its origins remains in its tranquil and discreet rooms: an elegant country residence, where an ancient noble family spent its summers. Here, warmth, eclecticism and modernity are added to its impressive past. Airy Provencale decor alternates with period frescos and decoration; nineteenth century fan-lights and inlays alternate with pictures and floral compositions inspired by modern art. |
 The care dedicated to every detail is the fruit of careful and conservative restoration work brought to the furnishings and the rooms. An inscription in the Restaurant reads "Parva domus, magna quies" (great quiet, in a small house): almost a warning followed to the letter and put into practice in every detail, to guarantee guests great quiet in a small, comfortable space. Culture, cellars, character, courtesy, personal commitment... a great deal and everything in Franciacorta. |
 Always attentive to new dynamics motivating tourism flows, the Albereta presents stay offers, ranging from work meetings to cultural activities and wine and food. The fitness trail, conceived to offer guests the possibility of rediscovering nature and physical well-being in an entirely relaxing atmosphere, runs from the green hills to the greenery of the parks of country villas, and vineyards. Greenery to be enjoyed through and through, either in a delightfully serene manner or in a more exuberant and sporty way. |
 For lovers of trips in the open air, the hotel has an agreement with a nearby riding school. This an excellent starting point from where to discover the most secret places of Franciacorta. For those who prefer real “greens”, a stay at the Albereta will prove the ideal choice. There are four internationally known golf courses situated close to the Hotel. |
 The Albereta offers its guests the possibility of sharing the secrets of two working cellars, Bellavista and Contadi Castaldi. Here we find quality and excellent flavour in the aromas of the wisely combined Chardonnay and Pinot grapes, in the long lasting bouquets, the fruity and flowery notes in the production of “sparkling” and “flat” DOC and DOCG wines. In this way you can discover the Franciacorta DOCG wines (clasic sparkling method) the Terre di Franciacorta (flat red and white wines) and the “cru” (special selections from special vineyards). |
