Four Castles protected the territory of Lake
Garda: The Rocca castle was the most
important one, the others were in Castei,
Castion and Marciaga. Other important
memories of the middle ages concern the
ancient gates other historical centre.
During the Venetian era,
Garda belonged to the Gardesana dell'Aqua,
which had jurisdiction over the eastern
shore of the Lake and was commanded by the
Capitano del Lago. There are memories from
the Venetian era in the Palazzo dei Capitani
in Garda and in several folk traditions,
such as the feast of St. Mark and the Bisse
competition, as well as in several recipes.
The crystal clear waters of
Lake Garda are
perfect for swimming and many popular sports
such as windsurfing and sailing. The local
climate is softened by the presence of this
large body of water, which makes it
comfortable for exploring the towns and
villages on and close to the lake towns such
as Garda, Lazise, Sirmione, Torri del Benaco,
Bardolino, Limone and Peschiera which are
wonderful places to visit with a great
choice of villas for rent hotels, B&Bs and other
accommodations or just for wandering around
the cobbled streets filled with shops,
hotels and restaurants and are home to
bustling lakeside markets.
It is no wonder that many
visitors resolve to return here again and
again. That is why you can now find
timeshare for sale
at Lake Garda. Owning a week in one of these
units secures you accommodations for your
desired time each year. The trend of resorts
selling timeshare
continues to rise, but if you are not ready to buy, you
could try renting a week too. Wherever you stay, we hope
this website helps you plan your ideal
lake Garda holiday

San Vigilio is the most
enchanting place on stretching out across the cool limpid
water, forming a point that takes its name from a sainted
monk who lived in the year 1200. Even in Roman times it was
well known and inhabited. You enter through a lane of ancient
cypress trees and you can admire all around the beautiful
olive trees characteristic to this area. At the end of the
lane you will find the beautiful sixteenth-century villa
built from a design by San Micheli, surrounded by gardens and
a park with orange and lemon groves which thrive due to the
mild climate. Within the garden lies the small ancient
church dedicated to San Vigilio. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners and other functions can
be organized and reserved. Hotel Locanda San Vigilio
overlooks the lake and is also situated near the port, it
has received guests from the year 1500 and has 4 double
rooms and 3 suites. From the lane of cypress trees you can
enter the beautiful Parc Baia delle Sirene. |
