As spring fully takes hold and we look ahead to summer and autumn, we enter the best time to plan a stay at one of our vacation rentals in Lake Garda. Summer sun means all sorts of outings, special events and festivals, water sports, excitement, and more but the months either side of the summer offer milder conditions that make really exploring the area on foot and by bike a more pleasant affair. It depends on what kind of holiday in Italy you want and when you can travel.
