Resort Information

Two of the most picturesque resorts on the south east shore of Lake Garda, Bardolino and Lazise share many of the delights of the region with their neighbour Garda town. Encircled by vineyards and olive groves, wooded hills and cypress trees, the atmosphere is distinctly Mediterranean. When the sun goes down the resorts comes alive, the promenades are full of strollers enjoying the mild evening air, the cafés serve gargantuan ice creams, the restaurants draw diners to their delicious local fish dishes and a taste of the local wine bearing the Bardolino name is a top priority.

Walking

There are many marked walks inland and the local Tourist Office provides free walking maps. Although some routes follow side roads, others are pleasant paths with panoramic views and rest places at some of the many vineyards for suitable refreshment. An easy stroll can be taken along the 3km promenade to Garda from Bardolino.

Activities

Water sports are high on the list of activities. There is windsurfing, water skiing at the Camping Serenella near Bardolino and lake bathing from the shingle beach. Take a pedalo or mountain bike and enjoy a game of tennis or mini-golf. Frequent buses run to Gardaland, a local theme park and to Canevaworld an exciting water park.
