Although one of the most well-known resorts in the area (it was already a popular tourist destination in the early 1900s), Riva has managed to retain some of its original charm. Measuring 2½ mls across, the town is restricted from expansion by tunnels at either end, and has a pedestrianised, historic centre clustered around the very tip of the lake. The old town is dominated by a 13th-century watchtower and a moated 12th-century fort (La Rocca), complete with drawbridge. Fashionable shops, along with numerous cafes and restaurants, are situated along the promenade and near the harbour. To the E lies the more modern part of town, which is, linked to the old centre by a main road. The main hotels are located in this part of town, comprising many apartment blocks and buildings dating from the 1970s. Market Suitability Mid- to upmarket singles, couples and groups of all ages. Very popular with British tourists. Hotel Centrale – 3*

Now one of the most popular resorts on the lake, this former medieval fishing village has been of strategic importance over the centuries, under the control of a series of conquerors including the Romans, Goths and Venetians (its name comes from "warda guardia", meaning sentry). This long history is still apparent in the delightful old buildings, archways and alleys, small squares and maze of narrow streets, although they are now full of boutiques, cafes and souvenir shops. The pedestrianised, tree-lined lakeside promenade also has a vast selection of cafes and restaurants, with a sideshow of street entertainers and small art exhibitions.

Although tourism didn't take off until the 1950s, the first spa opened here as early as 1900, on the site now occupied by the Grand Hotel Terme; nowadays, Sirmione is well established as a spa resort with several hotels and therapy centres offering health and beauty treatments. Stretching along a peninsula for 2½ mls and only 100 yds wide at its narrowest point, Sirmione can be loosely divided into the more work-a-day, largely low-rise residential area (Colombare), situated at the southern "mainland" end of the peninsula, and the N end (shown in our resort map), where most of tourist and historic interest is located. This includes a picturesque, compact old town dominated by a spectacular 14th-century castle, scattered villas and hotels in luxuriant gardens, and the atmospheric remains of a vast Roman villa at the most northerly tip. The old town – with its narrow streets, small piazzas, arched stone doorways, galleries, cafes, restaurants and ice-cream parlours – is popular with day-trippers arriving on regular ferries, but it still manages to maintain a relaxed ambience. Except for a modern marina, building work has tended towards renovation rather than construction, and motor traffic is strictly controlled on the promontory (visitors need a hotel reservation to bring in their cars) so strolling through the quiet, shady lanes is still a delight. Hotel Du Parc 4* Sirmione
A free minibus service to the centre of Sirmione is available daily from 9am to 9pm. The hotel has a large pool area surrounded by sunloungers and parasols – the perfect place to relax.
From £429 per person including flights, transfers in resort and 07 nights HB accommodation based on 2 adults sharing. Desenzano del Garda The most important commercial centre and largest town on the lake, Desenzano stretches around a wide bay for around 2 mls, with an attractive, tree-lined promenade lining the lake front for much of that distance. The town was founded by the Romans and the remains of a 2nd-century Roman villa bear witness to its antiquity. In the 15th to 18th centuries, the town benefited from prosperous Venetian rule, the influence of which can still be seen today around the picturesque Venetian-style old port (Porto Vecchio), full of fishing craft. The upper part of the centre is dominated by a 14th-century castle while most of the shops and cafes are situated in 2 extensive arcaded 19th-century piazzas. The general atmosphere is more like that of a prosperous market town than a holiday resort, with fountains and statues of local heroes dotted around, swans and ducks on the lake, and a bustling weekly market day. Many of the narrow residential streets have been closed to traffic and it suffers less intrusion by day-trippers than most lake resorts. Hotel Lido International 4* Desenzano
