Along the way you pass the hamlet of Tenno with its 12th-century castle. It's bikeable from Arco or Riva if you don't mind the elevation gain, some switchbacks and weekend traffic. It's a laid-back destination for local families and all those wishing to escape the bustle of Garda. It's a beautiful spot with pristine white-sand beaches, a small swimmable island and clear blue, albeit chilly, limestone infused waters.

We packed a picnic and met friends at the edge of the lake. The grounds have a lifeguard, water sport rentals, a small shack that serves pizzas, spritz's, coffee, etc.. There are decent public toilets but you need your own tissue. I didn't feel like I was at a tourist spot despite all the amenities. I really felt like we had found a hidden gem near Garda lake.

Review #700 goes out to my favorite lake in the world.... Lago di Garda! :) :)…read more Ohhh, where do i start? I first visited Lago di Garda about a year and a half ago when my brother and i were retracing our Grandfather's WWII footsteps in Italy. We visited during February, which is definitely "off-season" for tourists - - but this gorgeous lake and community still offers plenty of breath-taking views and activities even then. Speaking of activities, this lake is heaven for outdoors enthusiasts (and really anyone else, I suppose). But there is so much to do here: *You can rent a bike and casually ride around the towns, or for those more adventurous you could ride around the entire lake *You can rent mountain bikes and go on the many trails, even starting on top of Mt Baldo *In the winter you can ski or snowboard the backside of Mt Baldo *Nearly year-round you can go paragliding (I went in June and it was AMAZING!!!) *Kite surfers *Wind surfing *Sailing *Obv, boating!! Less active, there are so many great restaurants and small cafes to visit in the many towns that are dripping with history! For me, the historical significance is due to my Grandfather serving here in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII. He stayed in the town of Malcesine for a few weeks.... and I know he was able to get some fishing-time in here too. But there's a castle in Malcesine overlooking the lake that's from over 500yrs ago!! Whoa... now that's old! Go for the beauty of the lake....go for the activities...go for the breath-taking views...you can do everything or nothing here, and still have an amazing time!! :)

By boat we sailed past the villages of Bellagio, D'Este and Varenna. Each view just as beautiful and breathtaking as the next. No rush here. One must slow down, stay focused on relaxing promenades throughout the town villages, and / or ferry hopping at a leisurely pace to take the time to indulge your senses in the luxury of it all. **Please note, it does get quite crowded and touristy in the summer months, as does most of Italy these days. Pack your patience or travel in the off season** George Clooney has good taste choosing this location for his castle. Grazie mille!

If you're crossing the border from Italy, make sure you have your passport. And have some francs ( they don't accept euros) or you can use your credit card. I enjoyed my short stay here. Lugano is really clean and well maintained. We don't have mountains in Florida where I live so just gushing over the peaks was a real treat for me. Gosh I really wished I stayed here longer. I was hoping to eat some fondue here. But I did stop and grab some Swiss chocolates. They were divine!
