Lago di Garda – Lake Garda

Imposing, beguiling and unexpected: Lake Garda has so many different aspects when looking out over its waters from Gardone Riviera or Sirmione, Peschiera or Riva del Garda.

Lake Garda is the largest of the Italian lakes with an area of 370 square kilometres. Its close proximity to Verona makes it easily accessible for a jaunt away from the city. Imagine being surrounded by the most picturesque lake towns and charming villages – the landscape will take your breath away. 

Peaks and valleys define its perimeter, small towns on its shores interrupt the expanse of lush vegetation characterizing the area. In short, staying at Lake Garda will certainly ensure inspiration, relaxation and well-being. You will come across echoes of history, magnificent castles and delightful villas in perfect symbiosis with the contemporary world, interpreted in a thousand ways and even celebrated at table serving excellent local produce.

Oil, wine and citrus fruit: here are some of the treasures of this part of Italy. The Garda eco-system, given its territorial extension, is a perfect setting for so many fruits of nature: lemons, olives and grapes. Garda boasts excellent olive oils and wines that contribute to the success of a local cuisine – with both fish and meat dishes, not to mention traditional polenta – held in high regard over the world.
