Welcome to Gardone Riviera, where the only thing clearer than the lake is the fact that you'll never want to leave. Nestled on the western shore of Lake Garda, this charming Italian town is famous for its stunning gardens, historic villas, and a climate that could make a cactus feel envious.
Accommodation options are plentiful, with 23 hotels ranging from quaint family-run B&Bs to luxurious resorts that might just make you feel like royalty—or at least, a well-fed jester. The best neighborhoods for a stay are along the lakeside promenade, where you can sip an espresso while pretending to read the newspaper, or in the lush hills that offer spectacular views (and a workout if you decide to walk back).
Nearby attractions include the majestic Vittoriale degli Italiani, a former residence of poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, whose life was as colorful as the gardens that surround it. The best time to visit? Late spring or early fall when the crowds are fewer and the weather is still fabulous enough for gelato consumption without judgment.
And why should you compare hotels on FlyDoha? Because while you might enjoy a surprise, it should never be in your hotel bill. Save some bucks for that extra scoop of pistachio gelato!
