Had a day here as a couple on holiday in lake Garda from London, England. We didn't see or hear any other English here which was actually very nice! Lots of Italians who clearly love this place. Lots of pools, loads of grassy space with free umbrellas. Very clean , lots of food huts but recommend taking a nice picnic and sitting in the sun as we did. Kids LOVE this place - loads of fun equipment and activities for them. No litter, all very clean and tidy. Entrance was 12 euros for each of us which we though was a bit pricey , then 3 euros each on top of that for renting a sunbed - sunbeds should really be free we feel. No dogs allowed here which is good really as you wouldn't want dog mess everywhere. Really good place for a day of relaxing

We had a two hours walk from Desenzano to the Padenghe castle (about 7 Km.) When we arrived we visited the internal part of the castle and we took plenty of pictures of the panoramic view. The only negative point: at the moment the right part is under maintenance.

What a beautiful golf course, well maintained and really enjioable!
What makes my review average is the service, which despite the nice caddy master and on tiny girl at the reception, the rest of the staff at the reception was very unfriendly and almost unpolite.
The service at the bar also was really terribel, but as it is managed by the hotel, I can figure out the reason.
We will certainly come back to play the course but never stay in the hotel anymore and neither having a drink or food at the bar.
We really miss the 2011 previous visit at Arzaga.....

The Climb is mostly up ramps inside the tower and a few sets of steps at the higher levels. I would recommend doing the climb in the early morning. The inside began getting warm as we neared the top at about 10:00 am. The views of the countryside are excellent. There are stone benches at each level, if you must stop. Well worth the 5 Euros.

Un museo che va assolutamente visitato per avere anche solo un'idea di quella che è stata ed è la Croce Rossa; se avete la possibilità fermatevi a fare due chiacchere con il curatore del museo che saprà darvi una ricca messe di informazioni, curiosità, dettagli sulla storia della Croce Rossa e sulla sua attuale struttura

This very small church is located just inside the entrance portal to the town. The church dates from the 12th century and was mainly used by the garrison stationed at the castle and the local villagers. Inside are frescos dating from the 14th centruy. Well worth stopping to see.
8. Fondazione Ugo Da Como
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 110 reviews
Nestled amongst the stunning Southern hills of Lake Garda, in the heart of the historical centre of Lonato, lies the home of the Ugo Da Como Foundation with the castle (Rocca Visconteo Veneta) and the house-museum (Casa del Podestà). An evocative visit takes you through the furnished rooms of the house, also to a stunning library filled with a precious ancient book collection. The house is surrounded by splendid private Gardens and the last step of the visit takes you up to the Visconti-Venetian fortress, admired by Napoleon.

The tours are only in Italian and it is necessary to follow a group.
The house and library were nice, however the whole experience was spoiled by a very bossy and unpleasant guide. He wouldn’t let us to look into a different room (from the room we were in, through a door) or touch a booklet (displayed on the table, available for purchase at the end of the tour).
Altogether we didn’t enjoy it at all.
On a practical note, there isn't anywhere in the town to eat.
Not a very good destination for a trip.

I've visited quite a lot of Roman ruins over the years but I don't think I've seen such an extensive collection of mosaics anywhere else. I was awestruck to be viewing work that has been around for nearly two millennia.
I note that other reviewers have commented on the lack of English explanations. We found there was quite a lot of information boards in English plus the lady in the ticket office gave us an English language guide to take around with us - or at least one in museum speak.
Either way, you don't need much in the way of any language to marvel at the ruins here - not only the mosaics but the structure of the underfloor heating and the like.

After having read several reviews we paid this authentical winery a visit. The owner speaks German very well and is proud of her winery. It feels like you visit family. The wines are excellent and vary from €7 to €15. We bought a stunning Reisling and Gropello!
