Corte Franca

Corte Franca is a municipality in the province of Brescia, established from the merger of the four constituent municipalities of Borgonato, Colombaro, Nigoline, and Timoline. The area is about 1.5 kilometers from the southern shore of the picturesque Lake Iseo, and in the center of the popular Franciacorta wine region. The municipality is rich with gorgeous natural landscapes and water formations, highlighted by vineyards and wineries, historic villages, and charming villas.

Corte Franca offers a peaceful lifestyle and full immersion with nature. It enjoys a convenient connection to the rest of the province: the train station of Borgonato-Adro is only 5 minutes away by car, and the Il Caravaggio Orio al Serio International Airport is 28 minutes by car via the A4 motorway. The town is ideal for outdoor family living with various options to enjoy the natural environment and the world-famous Franciacorta sparkling wines.

Many village streets are laden with homes with fences of verdant hedges, flowering trees, and landscaped lawns. Most of the houses, apartment buildings, and townhouses have preserved the traditional Italian architecture that features gabled roofs, vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, arched doorways, tall narrow windows with external shutters, and balconies draped with colorful blooms. The classic farmhouse and country home exterior blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the countryside but furnished with a modern interior to cater to the family's comfort and convenience. Many countryside villas have been meticulously restored from old stone farmsteads, adding to the authenticity of the region. These homes attract buyers who are art and history lovers, and who adorn their interiors with vintage furniture and rustic decorative pieces.

This charming town has all the essential services such as emergency clinics, physicians of different specializations, pharmacies, a public library, banks, and schools from nursery to secondary education. The lush forests of Monte Alto have many hiking and running trails, camping, and picnic sites, and spectacular views of the rolling landscape of the wine region. The town has a golf course, the Golf Club Franciacorta, a 27-hole parkland type terrain, with island greens and amenities such as a clubhouse, restaurant, swimming pool, locker rooms,and training facilities. There is also a waterpark complex called the Acquasplash Franciacorta, with water activities for all ages, restaurants, and an ice cream parlor.
