Accommodation and Resort Reviews

General Description of Garda

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. As a result of the resort's popularity, tourist accommodation has spread to the small village of Costermano, located in the hills behind Garda and once a favoured holiday location of the Italian nobility.

Market/Suitability Mid- to upmarket couples.

General Description of Malcesine

A charming town with narrow, steep, cobbled streets clustered around the almost complete 13th-century Castle Scaligero, which perches on a sheer rock face overlooking the lake. At the heart of the resort is a busy little harbour where cafes and restaurants line the water's edge. The rest of the lakefront is filled with villas and hotels, unless you go ¾ ml out of town in either direction. The main road runs above the town and only limited traffic is allowed into certain streets, which nevertheless is popular with sightseers during peak season.

Market/Suitability Mid- to upmarket couples, families and groups. Sporty types, as there are a good range of sporting activities on offer. The steep terrain may make it unsuitable for anyone with mobility difficulties.

General Description of Limone sul Garda

Overview: A very attractive, compact former fishing village that has managed to retain much of its old-world charm, in some part due to the fact that it was only connected to its neighbours by road and tunnels in 1932. It is famous for its olive oil and lemons, although its name actually comes from the Latin for "border" (limen) rather than the citrus fruit. The main, older part of town – with its narrow, twisting, cobbled streets lined with shops – stretches from the tiny old port (Porto Vecchio) in the N to the new port (Porto Nuovo) in the S, with a pedestrianised lakeside promenade running between the two. From this main hub, development spreads mainly S-wards into the hills, with much of the accommodation situated in this area rather than around the old town.

Market Suitability; Mid- to up-market, young to middle aged. Walkers and water-sports enthusiasts, the hilly terrain probably makes it unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Gardone - General Description

Originally a popular hunting location, Gardone developed as a resort in the late 19th century, when it was a favourite of the Italian aristocracy. At this time, many of the giant hunting lodges were converted to Italianate villas, some of which are now comfortable, old-fashioned hotels with magnificent gardens and terraces. Famous as a "garden town", it is made up of 8 small communities spread along the lake side for around 1¾ mls and straggling inland into the hills for 1½ mls as the crow flies (the winding roads make road journeys longer). Much renovation has taken place in the original lakeside village, with its central little Piazza Marconi, ferry quay, and handful of narrow pedestrianised streets – including a lakeside promenade – which are lined with shops, cafes, restaurants and the occasional hotel. The resort claims to have the best winter climate in N Italy; hence the Hruska Botanical Gardens with over 2,000 varieties of plants and one of the finest rock gardens in Italy. A major feature of the resort is the Vittoriale, an extraordinary architectural "park" covering several acres and featuring a vast villa, gardens, theatre, ship, biplane and the monumental mausoleum of the park's creator, the Italian poet Gabriele d'Annunzio. He also restored the San Marco Tower, one of the few landmarks in the narrow strip of properties running between the lakeside and the main road to the E of the centre. But the main feature of Gardone is the wonderful gardens, with their rich and varied flora, set on the steep slopes of the hills behind the town. A car is essential to enjoy the glorious views.

Market/Suitability Upmarket and not for those seeking outside entertainment. Priorities are rest, comfort, good eating and the pleasure of being in a place of great beauty.
