A prime spot on Lake Garda’s southwest shore
There’s something about Padenghe sul Garda that feels wide open and glorious. When you stand on the glistening silver shingle beach, you can gaze across Lake Garda to see the silhouettes of hills in the distance, and behind you, a hilltop castle watches over the town.
A little south of Padenghe sul Garda is Desenzano del Garda, where you can visit a Roman villa with well-preserved artefacts and mosaics. For a different era, you can see the striking remains of a medieval fort in Padenghe sul Garda.
You could walk the smooth waterfront promenade in flip-flops with a gelato or up the ante with a proper hike, venturing into the hills surrounding Padenghe sul Garda to follow trails that offer the best views. If anything too strenuous isn’t on the cards, you could always take a boat tour of the lake and visit nearby towns such as Sirmione and Desenzano del Garda.
