An itinerary between Lake Garda and the beauty of Verona

Staying at the Baia Holiday Gardasee means having some of Italy’s most precious treasures at your fingertips. This itinerary will take you to discover four unique pearls nestled between the waters of the lake and the hinterland.

In Desenzano del Garda, you cannot miss a visit to the Roman excavations, which hold one of the most important late antique villas in northern Italy: its perfectly preserved polychrome mosaics will tell you about the splendor of a bygone era.

Sirmione enchants from the first glance with its Scaliger Castle and iconic towers suspended over the water. After passing through the charming medieval village, you can explore the impressive Grotte di Catullo, the remains of a majestic Roman villa located on the extreme tip of the promontory.

Moving to the Veronese shore is Peschiera del Garda, a fortress city declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its Venetian-style old town, enclosed by pentagonal walls, is a labyrinth of canals and bridges that will give you the atmosphere of an old maritime postcard.

Finally we reach Verona, the city of art, love and legend. Let the majesty of the Arena, the Roman amphitheater world-famous for its opera season, take your breath away, and continue into the heart of the historic center to visit the famous Juliet House, where the Shakespearean myth continues to thrill visitors.
