Lake Garda [Gargnano]

Picture
Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy. It is a popular holiday location and is located in northern Italy, about half-way between Brescia and Verona, and between Venice and Milan.

Glaciers formed this alpine region at the end of the last Ice Age. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona [to the south-east], Brescia [south-west], and Trentino [north]

Area: 370 km² - Length: 51.9 km
Surface elevation: 65 m

We had the pleasure of visiting Lake Garda in May 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed at the Hotel Europa, situated on the main road coming into Gargnano, We found it to be quite comfortable, good value and had a wonderful view out over the lake. It was well away from the more touristy Limone and a nice walk, not too far, down to the waterside.

On one of the days we took the lake ferry and visited Limone, confirming we had made the right decision, though there was an interesting museum in Limone.

We did a fair amount of walking around in Gargnano and never felt overwhelmed. We found good restaurants, a great pizza place up on the hillside and a nice bakery.

We did make enquiries about renting a boat to spend a little time on the water - it was MUCH better value, and stress-free, to take the ferry.
