Lake Garda, also known as Benaco, is the largest lake in Italy and one of the most fascinating. Located between Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino, it covers more than 370 km² and reaches a maximum depth of 346 meters. In summer, its crystal-clear waters touch 25°C, making it perfectly swimmable from May to September. Its shores welcome a surprising Mediterranean vegetation: olive trees, cypresses, lemon trees, oleanders and palm trees draw a unique landscape that combines Alpine charm with marine breath.
ILake Garda is an ideal destination for those who love the outdoors. You can explore it by private speedboat, sailboat, kayak, or on scenic motorboats perfect for groups and organized tours. The calm waters and steady wind also make it a paradise for SUP, windsurfing and sailing.
Among the most evocative experiences, a visit to Garda Island, a historic-naturalistic jewel that can be reached by boat with organized tours, deserves a mention. With its Venetian neo-Gothic-style villa, terraced gardens, and breathtaking views of the lake, it is a must-see for those seeking beauty and tranquility.
Garda is also an excellent food and wine destination. Here you can enjoy dishes that reflect the lake’s traditions: Garda-style pike with anchovy sauce, bigoli with lake sardines, grilled or marinated whitefish, served with polenta and local vegetables.
A key feature is Garda DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil, one of the most delicate and prized in Italy. Light, fruity, rich in polyphenols and with very low acidity, it is perfect for guided tastings, often paired with local products such as artisanal bread, fresh cheeses, and seasonal vegetables. Many farms offer guided tours with tastings and local storytelling.
