5 Unmissable Places for a Couples holiday on Lake Garda

Dinner on the lakeside, a day at the Terme di Colà, a romantic sunset aperitivo – these are just some of the unforgettable moments you may experience during a couples holiday on Lake Garda, but there are many more! Around us, you’ll find several places to include in your romantic itinerary. Here are the main ones!

The Scaliger castles

A quick look at the crenellated walls and towers and you’ll immediately think about fairytales with princesses and knights. There are many towns on Lake Garda dominated by castles, fortresses and fortifications from the Scaliger era. For example, there is Sirmione Castle, one of the best preserved in Italy, or the castle in Malcesine, or even those of Lazise and Bardolino.

Garda from a boat

A boat trip is another unmissable activity to do on Lake Garda with your significant other, and it’s very easy to arrange – you can just hop on one of the ferries that regularly connect the lakeside villages and the different shores. From Garda you can reach the villages on the Veronese shore as well as Sirmione, but also Salò and Toscolano Maderno on the opposite side. Another idea is renting a private boat with a skipper, perhaps for a sunset aperitivo.

Small lakeside villages

Well-known lakeside towns like Bardolino and Lazise overlook the waters of Lake Garda on the Verona shore, but there are also smaller, picturesque and intimate villages, suitable for couples. One of them is Punta San Vigilio, which can be easily reached walking along the lakeside from Garda.

The most sought-after beaches

Couples on holiday on Lake Garda often look for intimate, quiet, secluded beaches. If this is the case, head to the smaller bays around the lake, such as Baia delle Sirene, which will definitely win you over with its private beach, as well as its park with century-old olive trees.
