The area

The whole lake, from our jetty

From Brenzone sul Garda the lake opens in every direction: medieval villages, lemon groves, olive terraces and sheer cliffs. And you can even set off across the water itself.

Where we are

A private jetty, and Lake Garda begins

The Belfiore Park Hotel overlooks the water at Brenzone sul Garda, at the point where the lake is at its deepest and the mountains descend straight to the shore. Before us Monte Baldo, and opposite the cliffs of the Brescian shore.

We have a private jetty: those arriving by boat can moor and step ashore directly at our door. And those wishing to explore the lake can set sail without going near the road, with the Brenzone landing stages just a few minutes' walk away.

We are exactly halfway along the lake: half an hour by boat brings you to Malcesine or Limone, an hour to Riva del Garda. By car, the Torri-Maderno ferry cuts across the lake and takes you to the Brescian riviera in no time.
