## Day notes

### Day 1

Exploring Sirmione is like stepping into a storybook set on the shimmering shores of Lake Garda. 

This enchanting peninsula town is famed for its medieval Scaligero Castle, perched dramatically over the water, and the ancient Roman ruins of the Grotte di Catullo, offering panoramic lake views. 

Wander through cobbled lanes lined with gelaterias and boutiques, soak in the healing waters of its thermal spas, or relax on the sun-drenched Jamaica Beach. 

With its blend of history, charm and natural beauty, Sirmione is a must-see gem that captures the essence of Lake Garda.

### Day 2

Tucked between steep cliffs and the sparkling waters of Lake Garda, Limone sul Garda is a postcard-perfect village bursting with charm. 

Famous for its terraced lemon groves and scenic lakeside promenade, it invites visitors to wander through flower-lined alleys, explore the historic Limonaia del Castèl, and soak up breathtaking views from the cliffside cycle path. 

Whether you’re savouring fresh lake fish at a waterfront trattoria or hiking through olive groves, Limone offers a serene blend of nature, tradition, and timeless Italian beauty.

### Day 3

Gardone Riviera is a refined lakeside retreat on Lake Garda’s western shore, known for its lush gardens and cultural landmarks. 

Stroll along its flower-lined promenade, explore the surreal estate of poet Gabriele D’Annunzio at Il Vittoriale degli Italiani, or wander through the exotic Heller Botanical Garden dotted with modern art. 

With elegant villas, panoramic lake views and a relaxed atmosphere, Gardone Riviera offers a perfect blend of nature, history and quiet sophistication.

You can also hop on the ferry to neighbouring Saló too for more stunning architecture.
