Where the lake
meets the mountains
A quiet, tree-lined avenue, a short walk from the piazza, the harbour and the long lakeside promenade.
Torre Apponale
& the harbour
Cobbled lanes and Piazza III Novembre beneath the thirteenth-century tower. Espresso in the morning, an aperitivo on the water at dusk.
Wind, sail
and stillness
Mornings are still and glassy; by afternoon the wind fills the sails. This is a lake to be on, not just beside.
Monte Brione
Olive groves, old forts and the finest view of the lake, a walk from your door.

Andrea's tip: the northern Garda winds are among Europe's most reliable. Morning Pelèr from the north, afternoon Ora from the south. The clear waters off the cliffs north of Riva are a favourite of Andrea, a passionate freediver. Ask him for spots and local clubs.
