In terms of weather, late spring, along with autumn, is the best season for day trips out of Verona.

Lake Garda has a unique climate: always mild, never extreme; the towns on the upper part of the lake in particular, far from the major roads, enjoy truly enviable air quality.

​

Torri del Benaco is one of the most picturesque villages on the entire lake. Nestled between Monte Baldo and the lakeshore, its 14th-century castle bears witness to its role as guardian of this vital passage between north and south, a function dating back to even more ancient times, as evidenced by the presence of towers dating as far back as the 10th century, which ultimately gave the village its name.

Torri del Benaco is also one of the few towns on the lake that retains the lake’s ancient name, which is not ‘di Garda’ but ‘Benaco’ (and few people know this!).

​

For us today, it is above all one of the most romantic and picturesque villages, with its ancient stone houses, frescoes, grand Belle Époque hotels, café terraces and, above all, what is considered the most beautiful little harbour on the whole of Lake Garda!​​
