Location/distances

Conveniently located, a short walk to the supermarket, shops, restaurants and bars, etc (800-1000m), with a public park and playground directly beneath the villa, just 1.5km from downtown Salò.

A wonderful spot for a holiday, Salò is the perfect balance between a small town and a city. It has characteristic cobblestone streets and beautiful old-world architecture, with everything in easy walking distance. And it also has all the services and entertainments you expect in a city, including theatre, museum, historic sights, restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and more. Its lakefront promenade is purported to be the longest in Italy, and you can stroll along the lake with beaches to one side and sidewalk cafés, restaurants, bars and delightful small shops to the other.

"We have been to Lake Garda a few times. Lovely, beautiful Lake. Lots of lovely towns you can visit on the numerous ferries. Sirmione, Garda itself, Malcesine, all lively towns with lots of cafes and don't forget the markets. Love Italian markets."
