Art,history, culture, nature, landscape, flavours, tradition, entertainment and fun: the Garda territory offers tourists countless opportunities to make their stay a little more special. Artistic treasures, historical landmarks and a great natural heritage, great theatre and music events at the Arena of Verona and the Vittoriale, wine cellars, olive oil mills, and many cafes and restaurants around the lake where to enjoy delicious food. These are the main tiles of a splendid mosaic, together with sun, beaches and clean water – for the traditional seaside experience.

But since at the Grand Hotel excellence is a duty, also for 2015 Gardone was the only city in the whole Lombardia to have been awarded the prestigious “Bandiera Blu” (“Blue Flag”) Award, given annually to the best Italian beaches by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). If you like sports, the lake and the mountains of the Regional Natural Park of the Upper Garda will make a vast playground for sailing, surfing, horse-riding, cycling or playing tennis; not to mention golf, a sport for which Lake Garda has now become a centre of excellence.
