Holiday home near Lake Garda, 14 km from the shore

Pescantina lies between Verona and the eastern, Veronese shore of Lake Garda. From the Nonna Marisa apartment the nearest beaches are about 14 km away: in around twenty minutes' drive you're in Lazise or Bardolino. It's ideal if you want to enjoy the lake without missing out on Verona, and if you'd prefer a spacious holiday apartment with a private garage to a hotel room on the crowded lakefront in high season.

Why stay a few kilometres from the lake

• You spend less: in high season, holiday rentals right on the lake cost a lot more for the same space.
• No hunting for parking at night: your car sleeps in your own garage.
• More peace and quiet: a calm residential area, away from the summer nightlife.
• Everything within reach: the lake, Verona, the theme parks and the spa, all within half an hour.

The nearest lake towns

Lazise

The closest lakeside town to Pescantina, with medieval walls, a little harbour and the Venetian customs house on the waterfront. Movieland and the Caneva water park are here too.

Bardolino

Famous for its red wine, with a long lakeside promenade, free beaches and restaurants overlooking the water. Perfect for a sunset aperitivo.

Garda and Punta San Vigilio

The town that gives the lake its name and, just to the north, Punta San Vigilio with the Baia delle Sirene, one of the loveliest beaches on the eastern shore.

Peschiera del Garda and Sirmione

Peschiera, with its UNESCO-listed Venetian fortifications, and the Sirmione peninsula with its Scaliger castle and the Grottoes of Catullus, on the southern shore.

Ideas for a day on Lake Garda

Park in Lazise or Bardolino and take the ferry to explore the lake from the water. For something different, ride the cable car from Malcesine up Monte Baldo, or walk the lakeside path between Bardolino and Garda. In summer it pays to set off early: parking is easier and you avoid the traffic on the lake road.
