Pros: Garda Land Amusement Park! Nice lake beach. Cheap Investment Realty.
Cons: If you're a person of color, be prepared for stares at the lake.
Summary: I have been twice to Lake Garda while living just outside of Milan. We stopped there on our way to Venice from Milan. We ended up stopping there on our way back as well (it was kind of a half-way point for us). The lake is pristine, calm and ... read more

Pros: Beautiful, peaceful, soul-inspiring.

Pros: Great views in north, good value food and appartments, very child friendly
Cons: Gets busy in summer, avoid the southern end of lake.
Summary: The two sides or should be the two ends of the lake are a great contrast. The lake at the northern end is the place to be. It is narrow with the mountains dropping straight down into the lake. It is clear and clean and surprisingly warm in the summer ... read more

Pros: Great restaurants in the area serving fresh fish and local cuisine.
Cons: Parking is difficult to find, hotel rooms quite small and pricey.
Summary: Lago di Garda (Lake Garda) area is a must see when in Italy. We stayed in the town Bardolino but you can take trips to near by wineries and the city of Verona. My favorite wineries are Zeni and Valpolicella. This area is very romantic

Pros: lovely views, especially along the eastern shore with boat and duck backgrounds
Cons: Southwestern shore is a bit less ideal and more congested. Bring your wallet/credit cards
Summary: German tourists, known for requiring value for their Euro, have been flocking to Lake Garda for years. Americans still tend to bypass the idyllic little villages....Sirmione is my favorite, followed by Bardolino where you can sample wines and cheese.

Cons: can get busy mid summer, windy at top and not many good hotels
Summary: Make sure you visit May to october (otherwise can be cold!) This lake is idylic.. water is cold in spring as comes from the snowy alps! Each town is special in its own way with little squares, cobbled streets and old italian architecture. The boats kriss
