Towards the southern part of the Olive Riviera where the countryside takes-on a more Mediterranean appearance one can find the little town of Bardolino situated right on the lake-shore.
Bardolino, locally known as “the pearl of Lake Garda” is definitely worth a visit, not only for the natural beauty of its lakeside position but also for the beautiful countryside and surrounding hills where many tourists enjoy their holiday homes and where the famous Bardolino wine is produced.
Bardolino is an old fishing village with little streets that spill out of its characteristic centre which is surrounded by medieval Scaligera stone walls, one can find ancient churches, leaning towers, beautiful parks and Venetian villas.
Today Bardolino is definitely one of the top tourist destinations to be found on Lake Garda and offers incredible opportunities of all kinds to the holiday-maker from a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday to an active sporty one for those who love water sports like sailing, canoeing and water-skiing or horse-riding or mountain-biking. Then, it’s a must for lovers of art, culture, food and drink there’s so much on offer in Bardolino.
