LAKE GARDA - REGION
BARDOLINO, A DREAM COME TRUE GREEN HILLS PLUNGING INTO TURQUOISE WATERS TOP SIGHTS: CHURCHES OF S. SEVERO, S. ZENO, S. COLOMBANO | STONE SLAB “PREONDA” | OIL MUSEUM | WINE MUSEUM
The picturesque village in the midst of the Olive Riviera is the ideal place to enjoy the Bardolino wine, an aromatic red or rosé wine cultivated in the hills of the inland. The residential area is particularly fascinating as the buildings are arranged in a fishbone form and the streets aligned perpendicular to the shore. Ancient buildings,
paved courtyards, alleyways full of flowers, souvenir shops, ice-cream parlours and cafes give Bardolino a special charm. Cavaion Veronese, in the hilly hinterland, offers to nature lovers scenic green areas, boasting vineyards and olive groves, Romanesque churches and Venetian villas along beautiful paths for walks and excursions.
