Resort Information
An elegant resort with a pretty, leafy lake front promenade and a good selection of boutiques and cafés, Gardone Riviera lies at the northern end of the Gulf of Salò on the western shore of Lake Garda. Sheltered by mountains from the more extreme weather conditions, Gardone enjoys a wonderful, subtropical climate which is ideal for the rich plant life that can be seen when walking through the lush parks of the resort or on a visit to the famous Hruska Botanical Gardens. A short walk from the village is the peculiar 'Il Vittoriale', former home to the author Gabriele D'Annunzio and stomping ground of 'Il Duce', Benito Mussolini, himself.
Our Opinion
· Visit the famous Il Vittoriale museum which hosts opera performances during high season.
· Stroll through the Hruska Botanical Gardens shaded by exotic trees.
· Take a boat trip to the tiny Garda Island and visit the beautiful palace, once home to the noble Gonzaga family.
Facilities
· bars · cafés · restaurants · shops · post office · bank · doctor · pharmacy.
Getting About
Gardone Riviera is an excellent base for exploring the lake. Ferries and fast hydrofoils link the numerous lakeside towns and operate throughout the day.
Strollers
Gardone Riviera and nearby Salò provide picturesque walks, surrounded by cypress trees, flowering shrubs and gentle hills. From San Michele, choose one of the famous footpaths leading to Mount Spino. The Via della Calma is a particularly panoramic route.

Twin Centre Suggestion
Why visit just one of Italy's beautiful lakes when you can visit two? Combine the 4T Grand Hotel Gardone with the 4T+ Hotel Regina Palace in Stresa, Lake Maggiore.
Transfer to your second centre by coach or minibus which may be via Verona airport.
