Top 10 Architectural Buildings in Lake Garda, Lake Garda
The largest of Italy’s fresh-water lakes, Lake Garda is located in northeast Italy. Tourists traveling here will find plenty of excursions and activities to keep them entertained year-round—everything from visiting hilly wine regions to exploring 14th-century castles. The towns and communities surrounding Lake Garda offer easy day trips from Venice, easily accessible by car or train. Major sights include the towns of Sirmione (which attracts most Lake Garda visitors thanks to its historic Rocca Scaligiera castle) and Riva del Garda (for the Varone waterfalls located nearby), as well as the region’s hills, which offer numerous hiking trails for adventurous walkers.

It worth the stop: the palace belongs to the ancient family of Count Bettoni ; built in '700 from the ancestors of the actual Owner , countess Maria Teresa Bettoni, is viewable from the Bogliaco port ( from the lake) inner garden and front palace and from the main road going to Gargnano the Italian garden. The Italian garden was restored about 40 years ago in occasion of filming a movie and they left the lighting on the garden after filming. Particularly impressive at night. The visit to the palace is not admitted ( private home!)

The gate linked the town with the outside world. It was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century to a design by Luigi Antonio Baruffaldi. Above the gate rises the belfry of the nearby parish church (Santa Maria).

You can visit the Captains Palace and see the fresco and gardens by the lake for free during the day. We went to a classical morning concert which was performed by a flautist and pianist. This was held upstairs in a beautiful room with views over the lake. Drinks (prosecco or non-alcoholic) and snacks were included in the ticket price. A holiday highlight.
