There are places rich in Roman ruins. Others that are famous for their splendid 18th century villas. There are places in which epic battles have been fought and towns which house famous theatres. But only one place exists where, in less than an hour's car journey, you can find all this and more: Desenzano. Take a map of Lake Garda, place the point of a compass on Desenzano and trace a circle with a radius of 10 cm. The circle contains remains and testimonies of Bronze Age settlements, the Arena of Verona, a Roman amphitheatre, places and landscapes praised by the poet Goethe, battles fought by Napoleon's French troops, by Radetzky's Austrians, by the king of Savoy's Piedmont army, and many other places enriched by culture and by the peoples that have lived here or have merely passed through these lands.

A stay in Desenzano offers opportunities for numerous and interesting excursions. Here below you will find some proposals with a short description, their durations and distances. For information about prices, you can address directly to:
