As much as this archeological site is interesting as such, it boasts the lake views to come there for! It is easy to spend several hours here, even half a day if the weather is nice. The museum is surrounded by meadows with old olive trees, so you will always find some shade. Bringing your own lunch and enjoy it sinking in the lake views could be a good idea!

The Lombardy Region officially recognised the Nature Reserve of Manerba del Garda ("Della Rocca, del Sasso e Parco Lacuale") with a regional resolution in April 2016. The park covers a territory of approximately 1,160,000 m2 (include meadows, woodland, trails, vineyards and olive groves), as well as 850,000 m2 of the lake itself. The Reserve was established to preserve and promote the ecosystem and landscape, historical and archeological sites, as well as to support such activities as education and understanding, preservation and divulgation of a unique environment, remarkable for both its history and biodiversity. The Valtenesi Archeological Museum within the Reserve is the information centre for visitor who wish to understand why throughout history humans have chosen to settle in this spectacular setting. The Reserve is always open to the public.

As we had a spare morning, we decided to explore Desenzano del Garda, which we reached by bus from Sirmione where we were staying. We are glad that we did as Desenzano is a delightful place, with its winding streets, free of the tourists that mob Sirmione, and everything is close together. Having been to the Roman villa in Sirmione, we naturally visited the one here, which was entirely different, more domestic in character, and with the most wonderful mosaic floors, each one different as one room flowed into another, with some of the patterns almost contemporary in design. The site starts with a small exhibition of some of the archaeological finds - others being in the main museum at the other end of the town. The Villas is not to be missed if you have an interested in Roman art and architecture. A sign of the new tourist priorities - new signs were in Italian and German, though we were provided with a booklet in English to borrow as we walked around.
