Agriturismo Among Vineyards on the Southern shore of Lake Garda

This region on the southern shore of Lake Garda feels like home to me. I know the area well, as I have been working with various agriturismos here for years, and I love visiting. The presence of so many agriturismos comes as no surprise: this is a renowned wine region, home to the popular Lugana white wine. And where there is winemaking, you will often find charming agriturismos. This former winery, now transformed into a comfortable holiday retreat, is surrounded by no less than 30 hectares of vineyards.

The landscape in this southern part of Lake Garda is gently rolling, without high mountains. Lively towns such as Sirmione, Peschiera, and Desenzano attract many visitors, offering cosy terraces, shops, bars, and restaurants. The agriturismo is easily accessible from the motorway, and a nearby provincial road allows for quick exploration of the surroundings. Picturesque towns on both the western and eastern shores of the lake, such as Salò, Lazise, and Bardolino, are also within easy reach. These charming destinations sit right by the water and boast inviting promenades where you can stroll and soak in the atmosphere.

Plenty to See and Do

The area offers a wealth of excursions and activities. Theme parks such as Gardaland – Italy’s largest – Movieland, and a large water park are nearby. There are also several historic castles and fortresses to explore. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy boating, surfing, canoeing, and paddleboarding on the lake, and there are pebble beaches for relaxing by the water. Additionally, Verona is just a short drive away—a city famous for its Roman amphitheatre, the Arena, which hosts spectacular open-air opera performances in summer.

Wine Tasting in an Ancient Monastery

Given that the agriturismo is nestled among vineyards, a tour of the wine cellars and a tasting is a must. The wine cellars are just 1 km away, and the tastings take place in an atmospheric hall within a former monastery church. A unique experience for wine lovers! Feel free to inquire at reception.

Ideal for Families

The agriturismo offers a range of facilities, making it a perfect destination for families. There is a large swimming pool with a separate shallow area for young children. Sun loungers and parasols surround the pool, while a pergola and pine trees provide pleasant shade. Additionally, there is a spacious play area and a football field, complete with goals and corner flags. Younger children can enjoy a playground, while older kids can have fun playing table tennis.

Comfortable Apartments

There are 10 apartments of varying sizes. Some have two bedrooms (trilocale apartments), while others have one bedroom (bilocale apartments), with some featuring an open loft in the living room with two or three additional beds. Each apartment includes a compact kitchen with an induction hob, a small dishwasher, a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. Other amenities include a TV, WiFi, and air conditioning. The apartments have either a private terrace or a dedicated seating area on a shared terrace or balcony.

In Summary

This agriturismo is the perfect base for exploring Lake Garda and its vibrant surroundings. Thanks to its convenient location, the lake and charming nearby towns are easily accessible, while you can still enjoy a peaceful countryside setting surrounded by vineyards. The large swimming pool, play area, and football field make it an excellent choice for families—your children are sure to make new friends here in no time!
