Lake Garda, Lombardy 213 ft
A small, bustling town with true Italian atmosphere
Desenzano combines a picturesque lakeside
resort setting with the vibrant atmosphere
of a thriving Italian community. Social
life is focused on the many bars, cafés,
pizzerias and restaurants in the historic
centre and on the pedestrianised
shopping area. Narrow streets lead
up to the medieval castle that overlooks
the town and offers panoramic views
of the lake. Desenzano has two harbours
and two public beaches for lakeside
bathing. The resort has the best ferry
and hydrofoil services on the lake
so the main lakeside towns, including
Garda, Limone and Sirmione, are very accessible. Bus and train connections to some of the main cities of northern Italy are also excellent and Verona, Venice and Padua are within easy reach.
