Vacation Rental Description
The apartment is a 5 minute walk from Lake Garda itself in the region of Lugana and 10 minutes from the larger town of Sirmione therefore you are just outside the main tourist area yet near enough to visit if you want to.
In the lake you can swim, wind surf, hire boats, get boat rides and hire pedalos.The area is beautiful and unspoilt and about 90% of all people there are Italian. It is where they go for the summer, so the area is not spoilt or prices loaded for tourists..
There are many fantastic restaurants either within walking distance or a short car drive away.
There is also an organic ice cream factory ( situated on an old farm) 10 mins away where for 1.20€ you can have a fantastic ice-cream and even buy organic milk.
The area is all very suitable for families with children or adults who prefer a quiet relaxing holiday.
The whole area is full of traditional Italian restaurants, is steeped in history, yet is very modern in some areas.
The surrounding countryside is beautiful, interesting and generally unspoilt.
The are many historic places of interest to vist as well as some great tourist attractions.
The mountains are beautiful and accessible for walking, cycling or driving.
Lake Garda is large and is just "one huge playground" for boats and all watersports as well as a quite day fishing ( the lake is full of fish).
The area is used by the Italians for their summer breaks.
Sirmione is one of the most popular holiday resorts on the shores of Lake Garda in northern Italy. The small historic town is located on the tip of a long peninsula protruding from the southern shore of the lake between Desenzano del Garda and Peschiera. Sirmione has thermal springs and was a spa destination even in Roman times - you can visit some impressive Roman ruins at the end of the promontory. The town is in the province of Brescia, in the Lombardy region of Italy.
Sirmione is a pleasant place designed for relaxing stays, with sun beds for hire allaround the lake and it even has some beaches. The town itself offers short strolls, a couple of tourist attractions and lake views.
Although Sirmione itself is very attractive, its small historical heart gets very busy in the summer months. There are some very good restaurants in Sirmione itself there are also many which are of a tourist standard. Great to visit and experience but for better eating and value for money, eat outside the town itself.
The best way to visit the town is by bike which you have to leave outside the walled town itself.
The whole area is bike and child friendly.
