The crystal clear
waters of Lake Garda are perfect for
swimming and many popular sports such as
windsurfing and sailing. The local climate
is softened by the presence of this large
body of water, which makes it comfortable
for exploring the towns and villages on and
close to the lake towns such as Garda,
Lazise, Sirmione, Torri del Benaco Bardolino,
Limone and Peschiera which are wonderful
places to visit with a great choice of
hotels, villas and Holiday homes or just for
wandering around the cobbled streets filled
with shops, hotels and restaurants and are
home to bustling lakeside markets.
Do visit the old port of Torbole, the
charming old streets of Limone and the
castle and Roman Villa in Sirmione.From
Malcesine you can take a cable car onto
Monte Baldo for some mountain walking and
superb views. Walks on the lake shore from
Lazie or Bardolino also help to work up an
appetite.On the southern shore, jutting into
lake garda, lays Sirmione with its quiet
cobblestone streets, thermal baths,
fairytale castle, olive groves and quaint
hotels. Gazing across Lake Garda from the
town of Desenzano on its southwest bank, the
view is quite spectacular. Lake Garda’s has
more in common with southern Italy. The
Veronese east bank of the Lake produces
olive oil and famous wines, such as
Valpolicella and Bardolino.
Looming above the area is Mount Baldo
with its three peaks. Projecting through the
last glacial sheet, its unique flora is a
throwback to pre-glacial times.The rich soil
and mild climate of the lake area encourages
an abundance of wildlife and flora. Cedars,
olives, lemon and palm trees flourish and
the Gorgeous shoreline offers pristine
beaches. Numerous ancient castles dot the
hillsides. The cablecar ride to Monte Baldo
provides magnificent views of Lake Garda and
the mountains beyond.
