About the location

Lake Garda - or Lago di Garda as it is known to locals - is one of Italy’s most famous travel destinations. At over 370 sq km, it is Italy’s biggest lake, a fact which can be seen in its diverse landscape. From olive groves and lemon trees in the south to snow-covered alpine peaks in the north, it is easy to see why Lake Garda has been topping travel wish lists for years.

Gardone Riviera is found on the western shore of the lake. The peaceful town is everything you would expect from iconic Italy. Take a stroll - the famous passeggiata - in the elegant streets or waterfront promenade and simply imbibe in the laid back sophistication that Gardone is famous for. Find a cafe, enjoy a glass of delicious local wine and watch the world go by.

The town warrants discovery. Head up to Gardone Sopra, a 15-minute walk away, for a chance to visit the historic centre. Not to be missed is Il Vittoriale, the Art Deco estate of the poet and eccentric Gabriele D'Annunzio. Il Vittoriale is exceptionally popular with visitors to Lake Garda, so arrive early to avoid queues.

If you want to visit the surrounding area, the choices are endless: take a bus to the small visit of San Michele just behind the town, and enjoy the breathtaking views on the walk down. Or jump on a ferry and visit the eastern shore of the lake, where you’ll be able to see the Grand Hotel Gardone in its full glory.
