Villongo

The charismatic town of Villongo is located on the south-western corner of Lake Iseo in the Province of Bergamo. Just west of the river Oglio, Villongo sits less than an hour away north-east of the Milan Linate Airport, and about a 30 minutes drive to Bergamo. With other culturally rich towns like Paratico and Capriolo nearby its borders, this well-serviced town is connected to other locales through major roads like the SP91 and the A4 motorway. Whether driving or taking the E-bus route, the town center is only 10 minutes away from the Sarnico port, where ferries transit through the lake Iseo and along its adjacent historically rich and traditional towns.

Villongo is teeming with open and inviting streets with an abundance of greenery - from the lush lawns of its residential areas, to quaint balcony gardens, trimmed hedge fences, and backyard trees. A stroll around the town reveals the red terracotta roofs of the apartments that are painted in warm colours and the occasional cobblestone sidewalks which beautifully adorn this contemporary town. Along the Strada Provinciale 91 (SP91) is a well known ice cream shop called Gelateria L'Oasi. It sells delectable frozen treats that are widely popular, luring both local and visiting patrons alike.

An uninterrupted view of the surrounding rolling hills and historical churches like the Parrocchia di San Filastro and the Parrocchia di Villongo Sant'Alessandro gives Villongo a rustic appeal amidst all its modern conveniences. The beautiful countryside vista, its accessibility to the major Italian cities, convenient services and facilities, as well as Villongo’s proximity to Lake Iseo’s breathtaking views and cultural towns makes it a sought-after and advantageous locale. A balance between urban modernity and the idyllic Italian country charm makes Villongo a prime choice for families.
