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 in 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 ot land at the Villafranca-Verona airport or take the
train to the Peschiera railroad station. The rare beauty of
countryside.
The vantage geographical position of Torri at
hte centre of the Lake Garda's Riviera degli Olivi, makes it not
only a pleasant holiday spot but also an ideal starting-point
for 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 choice of cruises on the lake by
stearner or hydrofoil is vast.
The towns of art of Verona and Mantova are at an
hour's drive by car (there is also a regular bus province for
Verona); 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.
