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. However, no matter when you visit, you’ll find that the natural beauty and astounding attractions of this gorgeous part of the world are utterly breath-taking and incredibly numerous. Among these attractions, the Parco Giardino Sigurtà stands out as especially lovely and with something special to offer throughout spring, summer, and autumn.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy (particularly among Italians themselves), Lake Garda is the largest lake in the country and an area of immense natural beauty just to the south of the Alps. With the glassy waters of the lake itself, the blue backdrop of the mighty peaks, the pretty lakeside towns and villages (each with their own distinct characters), and endless curiosities, the Lake Garda area stuns with its good looks. However, there are also countless things to see and do and lots of other factors that have made a vacation rental in Lake Garda and a stay in the area so beloved.

For those who want to enjoy a summer vacation in Italy but can’t quite cope with intense temperatures, a holiday rental in Lake Garda is an excellent idea. The mild Mediterranean climate of the lake and the surrounding towns means that conditions are pleasant through much of the year but notably, in the summer, you can expect to avoid the most intense of the soaring temperatures of July and August. 

Gelato is a key ingredient to life in Italy and Italians are discerning judges when it comes to ice-cream.

Especially when we hear about flavours such as carbonara sorbet and gelato with ragù sauce...
