Throughout Europe and the rest of the world, Italy is renowned and appreciated for its art, its culture, its excellent food and its especially mild climate.

Garda, the largest lake in Italy, lies in the north between the foothills of the Lombardian Alps, the Po valley and the Alpine foothills of the Trentino and Veneto regions. All the beauties of Italy seem to be concentrated here, with history and art going back to the beginnings of civilization, a rich array of lake fauna, including rare specimens of fish, and flora ranging from typical mountain species to Mediterranean plants such as the olive, oleander, coastal pine and other vegetation thriving in its mild climate.

Immersed in this green paradise is the town of Torri del Benaco, with its picturesque castle rising above and dominating the lake front. It is from this place that our journey begins: we shall accompany you through an area rich in history, art, culture and traditions, discovering flora and fauna, itineraries, excursions and places - an ideal part of the country in which to enjoy unforgettable moments of pleasure.

Torri del Benaco is easy to reach, thanks to its geographic position. Just take the Affi or Rovereto turnpike exits or land at the Villafranca-Verona airport or take the train to the Peschiera railroad station. Placed at the centre of the Lake Garda's Riviera degli Olivi, Torri del Benaco is not only the ideal location for a pleasant holiday, but also the ideal starting-point for an excursion to nearby places.

A ferry service connects Torri to the western shore of the lake, facilitating rapid visits to all the shore centers. The towns of art of Verona and Mantova are at one hour's drive by car; Venice and Bergamo can also be comfortably reached. Guided tours to the Dolomites are organized. The Sigurtà Garden (Valeggio) and the amusement parks of Gardaland (Castelnuovo), Caneva (Lazise) and the Auto-Safari Zoo (Pastrengo) are all quite near.
