weekends on lake
Garda
(the spots we love)
Lake Garda spots we love. Where we stay, where we eat and drink, and the towns worth the drive.
in short — the lake an hour from home: six places to stay, nine to eat, nine to drink, and the towns worth the drive.
Not one weekend but many. These are the places on the lake we keep going back to, on both shores.

practical
- getting there
Verona is the closest airport to the Veneto shore, Brescia and Bergamo to the Lombardy one. A car is the point: the lake is long and the good places are spread out.
