Lago di Garda

​

The town of Desenzano del Garda itself is scenic, relaxed, and with a tourist atmosphere that is somehow different from Italian magnet-areas farther south. And there are several fascinating little burgs within bus or train or bike or boat(!) range. that add even more interest for us.

Seven days

​

Sirmione (a street here displaying its purple grandeur) is an example. Here are vineyards to explore, maybe on rented bikes, with wines to taste. All these riches are a short bike- or boat-ride (or a long walk) from our place for the week.

Sheltered by Dolomite cliffs, a fresh-water pebble strewn  beach and a stone castle not far away—what else could one ask?

Since traveling from here to the south of France is a punishing number of hours by rail; we will pause to rest a few days in

And this video from 2006 shows a town in the area of our apartment. Our apartment is near plazas like this with umbrella-ed tables and, maybe, a new Karaoke guy holding forth.
