All roads lead to Brenzone

Have you ever found on top of a mountain thinking to arrive in the evening in your sweet refuge on the lake where you planned your holiday? In Brenzone happens often, even if following our tips, definitely it will be easier not to get lost in the journey towards to the lake.

Since the GPS has changed the way we travel, the Civil Protection of Brenzone is committed to recover unsuspecting tourists who venture on the hellish ascent / descent of Punta Veleno, or get stuck under a romantic arch in Olive square in Castelletto di Brenzone.

This is due to a bug in the reporting of the satellite navigation system to anyone traveling in Brenzone coming from the highway exit “Affi” which indicates the shortest path to reach our village. To avoid problems, that could turn your holiday in a nightmare, it is recommended to follow the directions on brown background that indicates the direction of “Lake Garda” and once arrived in the village of Garda, follow the spectacular road that shore the lake and arrive directly to Brenzone.

If you are still not sure of the path to follow visit our website or alternatively give us a call!

The water of the Lake

Blue and clear, fresh as from a lake surrounded by mountains, vital for countless animals  live inside, essential for the economy of the village. The water of our lake is a source of inspiration for poets and writers who have stayed here on its banks. It looks like a mirror and the desire to swim and abandon in it is stronger than the wonder that you have to contemplate the fortune to sit on its shores.

To the lake water also Brenzone owes his fortune. First because the first population arrive here decided to remain and second for the magnificent landscape and luxuriant products as the production of Olive oil to combine with delicious fish combination To the lake water, which over the years is reaching a very high level of cleanliness (which is very difficult for a lake of this size), owes also the special microclimate that during the year let the inhabitants live a truly timeless paradise.

Why not take advantage of a fortune as big, especially in September when the temperatures are milder and less concentration of people, so you can enjoy a vacation on Lake Garda in the best way.
