Its charming streets wind around a medieval castle that overlooks the serene waters. The town offers a blend of history, with its ancient walls and towers, and natural beauty, with olive groves dotting the landscape. Visitors can explore quaint shops, savor local cuisine in lakeside restaurants, and enjoy breathtaking views of Italy's largest lake.

Our next stop takes us to Lazise, a town that retains its ancient charm. You'll visit the Scaliger Castle and stroll along the medieval walls. Enjoy leisure time exploring the lake-facing squares and indulging in shopping at local boutiques.

After a morning of exploration, we head to Borghetto, a picturesque village known for its fairy-tale scenery and the famous Visconti Bridge.

Following Valeggio, we set sail for Sirmione, one of Lake Garda's gems. This town is renowned for its thermal waters and its enchanting castle overlooking the lake. You'll explore the Grotte di Catullo, a Roman archaeological site with breathtaking vistas. Take a relaxing walk along the peninsula and, if you wish, a dip in the crystal-clear waters.
