This scenic lake experience begins with a visit to Isola del Garda, the largest island on Lake Garda and one of its most captivating highlights. Privately owned by the Cavazza family, the island is home to Villa Borghese, an elegant neo-Gothic Venetian residence surrounded by terraced gardens and panoramic lake views. A guided walk reveals peaceful pathways, vibrant flowers, and rare botanical species that flourish in the island’s mild microclimate, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and charm.

After exploring the estate, a short boat ride leads to the picturesque peninsula town of Sirmione. Known for its serene waters and medieval architecture, Sirmione invites unhurried discovery. The visit includes time at the striking Scaliger Castle, a 13th-century fortress that once controlled access to the historic center. Its towers, stone walls, and lakeside setting offer a striking look into the region’s past and provide a memorable conclusion to this enchanting day on Lake Garda.
