This popular lake is the largest lake in Italy. It has been called the Mediterranean of the north, due to the mild climate, food and amazing wines from the area. Riva is an upscale village on the lake offering fabulous shopping, ristorantes, a large lakeside piazza, and ferry service to the other lakeside villages. Varone Falls is close to the home with an amazing waterfall, and numerous castles in nearby Malcesine, Arco and Sirmione. Torbole next to Riva has the most popular beach on the lake, as well as windsurfing lessons and camps. Next to the River Sarca is a bike path which runs from Lago Di Garda, inland to Trento. During the winter there are numerous skiing facilities, and other winter activities. Don't miss the ristorante 'Pie Del Castello' which is walking distance from our home in the village of Cologna, and serves the local specialty, carne salada. Our favorite palce to dine is also walking distance, and offers the same fabulous views, since they are right below our home: Agritur Acetaie, simply fabulous food and wines. Ask for Alessandra as her English is perfect. They also provide tours of the balsamic making plant there.
