Advice from Luer Prince

If you’re staying at the Luer Prince Residence, we recommend heading to the center of Lovere in the late afternoon. You can stroll through the village streets, taste some of Italy’s finest wines, enjoy a dinner featuring local specialties, attend concerts, and round out the evening with a walk among the evocative installations of the Borgo della Luce.

An authentic experience that combines wine, culture, music, and the magic of Lake Iseo on summer evenings.
