On the southern shore, jutting into Lake Garda, lays Sirmione with its quiet cobblestone streets, thermal baths, fairytale castle, olive groves and quaint Lake Garda hotels.

There is also a thermal bath at Cola which is near Lazise called villa Cedri.

 

The boats that link the historic lakeside towns are an enjoyable way to travel, you can rent one from nearly every town at Lake Garda or you can travel on one of the many ferry services which run all year round as from 2008.

There are many Breathtakeing views awaiting those who enjoy mountain trekking.

There is plenty of time to wander in the villages, have a long lunch or take a swim. The walking is all taken at a leisurely pace and does not involve any significant ascent but walking down from Monte Bado can test the knees if you do not opt to return by cable.

In Bardolino throughout the centuries an extraordinary historical and artistic heritage has formed. today there are still the towers and remains of the Scaliger walls, by the beautiful churches (small masterpieces of Romanesque art) and by the garden parks and Venetian style villas. 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.
