Garda Garda is one of the most beloved holiday destinations on the coast "Riviera degli Ulivi". The village is set in one of the small bays on the lake shore, 32 km from Verona. Garda borders with the beloved holiday destinations Torri del Benaco and Bardolino and the fortress "La Rocca", the ruins of a medieval tower, overlooks it. The lake, former known as "Benàcus" or "Benàco" was named after the village Garda. The name Garda derives from the German word "warte" (watch, lookout), and it refers to the fortress, which in the medieval times was one of the most important watching points.

Northeast of the bay, there is Punta San Vigilio, one of the most magical places of Lake Garda. It is a small peninsula with a chapel, a small hotel, a villa, a small harbour and the enchanting Sirens Bay "Baia delle Sirene".
