Villa Adige

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy, right in the middle of Northern Italy. The lake is like a small sea set between the last spurs of the Alps and the Lombardy plain. It is located about half-way between Brescia and Verona, and between Venice and Milan.

Towns and villages on the lake shore enjoy a milder climate compared to the rest of the region – you’ll see lemon trees and olive groves, palm-fringed lakeside walks with a stunning backdrop of snowcapped mountains.

The lake, with its clear, clean and warm water, sunny beaches, mild climate, and Mediterranean vegetation has been a favorite spot since Roman times and has inspired poets and writers through the ages, such as Catullus, Goethe, Joyce and D'Annunzio.

On Lake Garda you can find facilities for almost any kind of sport and activity: swimming, sailing, windsurfing, golf, rock-climbing, bungee-jumping, trekking, pony trekking, horseback riding, cycling, tennis. 

There are many interesting little towns along the coast and up in the hills. This area is rich of natural beauty, history, and culture, with good restaurants and shops.

Located between Verona and Lake Garda, just in front of the Valpolicella region and the Lessinia pre-Alps, Villa Adige enjoys a truly unique position in order to offer its guests a wide and diversified choice of activities, such as to make their stay pleasant and interesting.

Those who are fond of art and history will lose themselves among the many treasures of Verona, Mantua, Vicenza or the many villages, castles, villas and gardens of our territory (Sirmione, Valeggio sul Mincio, Sabbioneta, Soave, the Romanic churches of the Valpolicella).

Nature lovers will be enchanted by the shores of Lake Garda, the slopes of Monte Baldo or the plateaus of Lessinia, which constitute an ideal destination for cycling excursions and hiking.

Food and wine: If you are fond of wine and good food, you certainly cannot fail to visit the cellars of Valpolicella and the lower lake, to taste the many typical wines of our region (Amarone, Recioto, Valpolicella, Lugana, Bardolino), as well as the dairies of our mountains or the small artisan workshops that renew our best culinary traditions. Verona is famous all over the world for its incredible tradition with regard to food and wine.

Sports: You can enjoy golf, horseback riding, parachuting, paragliding and hang-gliding, rafting, mountain bike and other bike trails. Just outside the Villa there is a path that leads to Verona and Lake Garda, and there are several spas in the surrounding.
