Lake of Garda
Just 20 minutes from the farm is located the Lake of Garda, certainly one of the highlights of our country and a must-see for the natural beauty, its history, its tradition and charm appreciated and praised by artists and writers over the centuries (from the Villa of the roman poet Catullus in Sirmione (I sec. a.c.), the permanence of Goethe in Malcesine or suggestive Vittoriale made by the poet D’Annunzio in Gardone).
These areas, inhabited since prehistoric times, are areas of great natural beauty, with vegetation typical of the Mediterranean climate (olives, grapes, fruit, agaves and other plants) created by the Garda basin and through which the winter is mild. Following the course of its history to the present day through activities and interventions in the past they have given shape to several amusement parks including the most famous in Europe: Gardaland.
These hills are also an important point of migration not only for the environment and the landscape, but also the climate, the typical products of the kitchen, which fit in the context and in the beauty of the countries surrounding Lake Garda, make this destination attraction from every point of view.
The Lessini and Baldo Mountains
The Valpolicella hills extending north to the Lessini Mountains, the area of pastures are still unspoiled, where during summer (you get to 1,800 m. Above sea level) the only sounds are the bells grazing cows, that produce excellent milk for the best cheese call “Monte Veronese Dop” wich can be fresh or aged cheese. If from here we go westward we descend in ValdAdige to climb on Mount Baldo (2,210 m), alpine area that ends overlooking the Lake of Garda. You can climb Mount Baldo along picturesque routes, on foot, by bike or using the Panoramic Cableway from Malcesine on Garda Lake.
