Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy, located about half-way between Venice and Milan. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona, Brescia and the region of Trentino.
Its balmy climate is Garda’s big selling point. Sirmione is the obvious point of departure for a clockwise tour of the lake. Nowadays this peninsula is wholly given up to tourism but that doesn’t lessen its powers of seduction. Once the main shopping street has been left behind, Sirmione relaxes into a peaceful setting covered in olive trees and occupied by the occasional garden hotel.
The other towns on the southern shore, Desenzano to the west and Peschiera to the east, are very close to Milan and Verona if you wish to organise a cultural and shopping trip for your wedding guests.
Further up the western shore is the little port of Gargnano, where the prestigious Villa Feltrinelli is located.
Riva del Garda is the main resort of the northern shore, characterised by an Austro-Hungarian style.
The eastern shore is dominated by the verdant mountain of Monte Baldo, which can be easily explored by taking the cable car from the picturesque town of Malcesine, one of the gems of this area.
Torri del Benaco is a real paradise and one of the most gorgeous destinations for your weddings on Lake Garda. It is just in the Southeastern shore of wonderful Lake of Garda. A charming and beautiful place like only a medieval fishing village could be.
Nowadays it is considered one of the most exclusive lake resorts.
With its little and colorful harbor, the picturesque square, the narrow cobbled streets and the buildings in warm Venetian colors, the village embraces its own special relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Its name derivates from its towers and the lovely position on a rock promontory overlooking the lake. In the immediate surroundings there are sharp hills covered with lush Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves and vineyards.
The remarkable historic center is just between the Scaliger Castle and the impressive Church. You could have easy access to the whole region by the local bus service, or by a traditional ferryboat service. Torri del Benaco is a delightful spot for an authentic Italian wedding. It is extremely lively and there is a lot to do and see. Your wedding day will leave you a special memory in your mind, thanks to the resplendent area you will be in. Read more..
