Location
On the western side of Lake Garda, the apartment is a 5-minute drive from the lake shore, on the edge of the town of Gardone Riviera. Gardone Riviera is known for Vittoriale degli Italiani (2 minutes) and other sites associated with the famous writer Gabriele D’Annunzio. The picturesque town of Toscolano-Maderno (8 minutes) is dotted with cypress trees, olive groves and lemon groves and has a pretty harbour bustling with colourful boats and ferries.

There are many different restaurants and cafés; and for self-catering, Toscolano Maderno’s weekly market (Thursday morning) provides excellent local produce to cook at home.

For a day by the lake, there are several beaches nearby including Rimbalzello Spiaggia (5 minute drive). Each beach offers a choice of water sports, including canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and diving. There are many other activities in the surrounding hills and mountains, including climbing, trekking, mountain bike trails and horse riding. There is also a golf course just 15 minutes away.

Visitors can explore the lake with one of the many ferry services that leave from Gardone Riviera’s port (5-minutes drive).

The closest airport is Milan Bergamo, approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes drive from the property.
