Resort Information

Nestling in its own perfect bay between La Rocca and Punto San Vigilio, Garda is a pretty resort with a rich medieval history which can be seen in the Romanesque arches and cobbled, winding alleys that characterise the village. It has, arguably, the most impressive lakefront of all the resorts, with enticing gelaterias, busy bars and restaurants lining the traffic-free, tree-lined promenade, that stretches for over a mile along the water's edge, providing breathtaking views across the widest part of Lake Garda. Peaceful green hills dotted with olive groves provide a backdrop to the colourful boats bobbing in the harbour. The town livens up at night though when the promenade is thronged with people out for an after dinner stroll.

Our Opinion

· Garda has a timeless, ancient charm
· Situated on an attractive bay around age-old cypress trees

Getting About

A pleasant, traffic-free, 3km walk along the lakeside links the villages of Garda and Bardolino. There is a fast and frequent ferry service linking Garda with other resorts.

Strollers

If you simply enjoy a gentle stroll then nothing can beat a walk along the lakeside to Bardolino. You can make plenty of stops along the way to feed the ducks or admire the stunning views across to Sirmione.

Ramblers

There are about 20 kilometres of walks in Garda, all easily reached and with many interesting features en route. The energetic can climb up to La Rocca and see the beautiful Madonna or perhaps walk to Punta San Vigilio and see the Villa Guerienti where Winston Churchill used to paint.

Hikers

Twin Centre Suggestion

Perhaps enjoy some of Venice's artistic gems before a quiet week at the lake. The 4T Hotel Amadeus in Venice can be combined with the 3T+ Hotel Continental in Garda.
