Garda Lake

We are between Venice and Milan and just a few minutes from Lake Garda; calm and green nature with the morainic hills. With a length of 50 km, a width of up to 18 km and a depth of 346 m, Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy (370 km2).
At the same time, with its mild climate, it is probably the most Mediterranean of the alpine lakes. The long neck of the lake, which is embedded between the steep walls of the shore, has always surprised and delighted travelers and has always prompted them to report on the colors, shapes and impressions of Lake Garda, wedged between the mountains in the north, while in the south it expands into the hilly landscape between Peschiera and Desenzano.
