The Araba Fenice, the only four stars hotel  situated right on the shore of Lake Iseo, is a hotel with history. Patriotic societies used to hold meetings, at today’s Araba Fenice hotel, at the time of Italy’s unification (circa 1848) and – closer to our times – a secret meeting between Winston Churchill and Benito Mussolini is said to have taken place during the second world war. Also, its liberty saloons and casino  became the gathering point of the refined society and elegant people, in the times between the two world wars. 
One of the most impressive and imposing hotels on the area, with a complex of three buildings, lies amid one of the nicest coves of the Iseo lake, known to locals as the 'Gulf of Flowers'. Formerly a 19th century "trattoria con stallo", coaching house, it has been lovingly and carefully restored to all of its past glory. Ornate ceilings and an elegant decoration provide its public lounges,  with a grand, regal air. The bedrooms, modern and spacious, have been equipped with the latest amenities to offer a high standard of accommodation, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic view across the lake and the mountains. The charming restaurant Bella Iseo, with a long tradition of refined clientele, completes the services of the hotel. Its position,  makes it possible to enjoy the fine cuisine of fresh local dishes from the pleasant terrace over the lake, where the charm of a panorama of evocative beauty can be enjoyed from spring to late autumn.
Combining a tradition of friendly hospitality with a high standard of service and a perfect lakeside location, the Araba Fenice is an exceptionally comfortable choice for your stay on the pretty, quiet lake of Iseo.
