In the village of Gandosso (5 minutes walk) there is a small food shop, a couple of restaurants and a church. A 15 minute walk will take you out to the countryside where there are walks and a forest adventure playground for kids Flying here is really easy. The closest airport is Milan Orio al Serio, which is about 30 minutes drive. Ryanair in particular have some very good prices for flying to Orio, sometimes you can fly for £30 return. You will probably need to hire a car on arrival in Orio al Serio airport – this is because Gandosso is a small Italian village and does not have particularly good public transport. If you would prefer not to hire a car, please ask us and we can help you with public transport / taxi enquiries, we may even be able to pick you up ourselves. The town of Grumello del Monte (10 minute drive) has a few supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, banks, post office, pharmacy, a rail station, bus connections, a swimming pool with gym etc. Lake Iseo is a very beautiful Italian lake that is about 15 minutes drive away. This lake is very popular with the Italians, but is still off the main tourist trail compared to places like Lake Garda. You will therefore have a more authentic Italian experience in places like Sarnico and Mont’ Isola without so much of the tourist hubbub. Milan is about an hour away. Other famous places easily accessed as a day-trip include Verona (1 hour drive), Lake Garda (45 minute drive), Bergamo (30 minute drive). There are loads of other activities within a short drive like vineyard tours, art museums, shopping centres etc.
