Hotel Degli Olivi's a little oasis in the centre of Garda. There are only 12 rooms so it has a really cosy atmosphere. It’s a lovely place to come back to at the end of the day, once you’ve explored Garda or taken a ferry to one of the other lakeside resorts.

Tranquil gardens

The gardens are beautiful, with roses growing next to the olive and cypress trees. The conservatory looks out onto the garden, so you can enjoy the natural surroundings whilst having breakfast. There’s even an outdoor whirlpool, making it impossible not to feel relaxed. 

Access to the local spa

Whilst staying here, you’ll have free access to the Gardacqua centre. Gardacqua's a spa centre with two pools and plenty of spa facilities. It’s just a 20-minute walk away or you can jump on the free local bus.

Garda

The eponymous town of Garda is a sought-after holiday spot – but that’s nothing new. People have flocked to Lake Garda for millennia, each leaving their storied stamp; from Bronze Age rock art and Roman vineyards to Venetian villas and historic hotels. Summer holidays in Garda are all about whiling away time strolling around the old town and along the promenade. But there’s still more to see beyond this sheltered bay. The rest of Lake Garda calls – as well as the cities of Venice and Verona, just a ferry and train ride away.

Walking in Garda

Walking holidays to Garda embrace laid-back lakeside living. Drift along the promenade, stopping at one of the many bars for an Aperol spritz or a generous scoop of stracciatella gelato. The historic centre is a lovely wander too, with its Gothic-Venetian church and villas. Make sure to drop by the Friday market to browse stalls piled high with bottles of Bardolino wine and marbled mountain cheeses from the nearby Dolomites.

Must-see holiday sights: Bardolino, Punta San Vigilio and La Rocca

The tree-lined promenade stretches south to Bardolino and further still to Lazise – a beautiful lakeside walk or cycle. Follow it north instead, and it’ll guide you to Punta San Vigilio. This scenic headland is topped with cypress trees, a 16th-century villa and a trattoria with tables laid out in the summer just a pebble’s throw from the water. Mermaid Bay is just around the corner – one of the best summer beaches and sunset watching spots on Lake Garda, and well worth forking out a few euros for the entry fee. If you fancy giving the calf muscles a workout, make sure you climb the 6km up to La Rocca for panoramic views. Look out over the pin-striped vineyards and sailing boats that characterise the eastern shore of Lake Garda.  

Exploring Lake Garda by boat, bus and cable car

Buses and ferries pootle between the towns of Lake Garda all summer long. Torri del Benaco is a 10-minute ride away. Here, a museum castle that once belonged to the ruling Scaliger family exhibits local curiosities like antique olive presses and Bronze Age carvings found in Garda’s hills. Alternatively, head for the ferry port. It’s a short hop across the water to the Heller Botanical Gardens and castle-crowned Sirmione. The further north you venture, the more mountainous the vistas. Jump off in Malcesine to peruse the pretty terracotta-tiled town before boarding the cable car up Monte Baldo.

V for Venice (and vineyards)

Olive groves and vineyards fill the hills behind Garda – an excellent chance to sample the famous Bardolino red within reach of its namesake town. For a mini adventure, catch the boat to Peschiera on Lake Garda’s southern edge, where the train station offers direct services to Verona (just 20 minutes away) and Venice (a scenic 1 hour 15 minutes).
