Vacation in Gargnano

Loading properties

Gargnano is a charming town on the western shore of Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. With origins dating back to Roman times, the town became more significant during the Middle Ages, when it was under the rule of the Scaligeri of Verona and later the Venetian Republic.

In the 19th century, Gargnano was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before becoming Italian in 1866. It also played a key role in World War II when it became part of the Italian Social Republic (RSI), with Mussolini's government headquartered in nearby Salò.

??? Description of Gargnano
Gargnano is one of the most picturesque towns on Lake Garda, with a blend of medieval charm, beautiful lakeside views, and citrus groves. It has a peaceful, non-touristy atmosphere compared to other popular Garda towns.

The town is divided into three main parts:

Gargnano Centro – The historic heart, with elegant villas, small piazzas, and the port.
Bogliaco – Known for sailing and the famous Centomiglia Regatta.
Villa – A quieter area with stunning lake views and lemon houses (limonaie).
Notable landmarks include:

Villa Bettoni – An 18th-century noble residence.
Chiesa di San Francesco – A medieval church with an interesting cloister.
Palazzo Feltrinelli – Used as a Nazi headquarters during WWII.
??? Typical Food of Gargnano
Gargnano’s cuisine is influenced by Lake Garda and the Brescian traditions, featuring freshwater fish, citrus fruits, olive oil, and local cheeses. Some typical dishes include:

Bigoli con le sarde – Thick spaghetti-like pasta with lake sardines.
Coregone alla griglia – Grilled whitefish from Lake Garda.
Polenta e pesce persico – Polenta served with perch fish.
Tortellini di zucca – Pumpkin-filled pasta, a specialty of Lombardy.
Spiedo Bresciano – Slow-cooked meat skewers with butter and sage.
Limoncino di Gargnano – A lemon-based liqueur made from local citrus.
Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva del Garda – Renowned local olive oil with a delicate flavor.
