Residence Torri del Benaco Apartment Hotel Garda Lake Riviera degli Ulivi Verona Italy, Ca' del Lago residence with swimming pool and apartments with lake view rooms

Torri del Benaco, as well as its magical lake boulevard and historical centre, has an interior which is considered one of the largest and most interesting interiors of Lake Garda’s Riviera.  It is a perfect union of art and popular culture, nature and landscape. Those who love nature and walks in the outdoors will find numerous pathways that run for tens of kilometres towards the towns of Castelletto, Garda, San Zeno di Montagna and Albisano. Close to the residence a pleasant footpath runs through cow tracks and the sleepy countryside.  In the quiet of Garda one finds the famous route of the Rupestri Incisions where, along the way, one can admire the artistic prehistoric paintings of Brancolino, Mount Bre and Mount Luppia.  From there you can reach Albisano and San Zeno di Montagna with their romantic courtyards and streets, and then continue to Villanova, Le Fasse, Castelletto and the boroughs of Brenzone, Cassone (where one finds the river Aril, the shortest river in the world at only 173 meters in length) and on to the characteristic village of Malcesine.

Excursions on Monte Baldo are also interesting, a pre-alpine mountain formed of limestone, part of a small mountainous which extends from north to south for about 35 kms. As you climb up the mountain it is interesting to note how the vegetation changes – this is due to the change from a typically Mediterranean climate (olives, and others meditarranean trees) to an alpine one.
