The beautiful town of Salò is the largest town on the west side of Lake Garda. One of the many enchanting things about this lake side town is the long promenade, perfect for a stroll at any time in the day or night. It is dotted with restaurants, shops and bars and offers the perfect setting for a morning coffee, leisurely afternoon lunch, aperitivo or a pizza and beer at the end of the day. It’s a great choice for couples, families or those looking for a base that has a range of things to do and see.

The local ferry service is a great way to visit the surrounding towns and there are also a number of companies that rent out private boats and offer private excursions to nearby Isola del Garda, Sirmione or even simple sunset cruises.
