On the western side of Lake Garda is Gardone Riviera, a compact resort with so much of interest.
A short walk from the lakeside promenade is the atmospheric Andre Heller Botanic Garden. Also known as the Giardino Hruska Botanico, this garden contains plants and influences from all over the world to delight connoisseurs of Japanese aquatic plants and lovers of alpine flowers alike. Water features abound; nymphs and statuary, from Indian to Moroccan style, fascinate at every turn.

In the Viale dei Colli is the Museo Il Divine Infante, boasting an important collection of sculptures of the infant Jesus in media such as wood or terracotta, adorned with beautiful fabrics and jewellery.

If you like your culture a bit more individual, don’t miss the Il Vittoriale degli Italiani. The Liberty-style, villa home of the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, this is a gem of eccentricity where you will find darkened rooms filled with D’Annunzio’s collections of art, an amphitheatre, a mausoleum and the prow of a ship placed into a hill!

With buses and ferries to connect you easily with the other Lake Garda resorts, Gardone Riviera is the perfect Italian break for your holidays at lake Garda in apartment!
