Villa Igea: in the steps of D.H.Lawrence
nvm25 Says: This was another sight I missed when staying in Gargnano, but you may want to look up this house, situated beside the village port. In 1912 it gave hospitality to D.H.Lawrence, who described his stay in the book "Twilight in Italy" (it would be a good idea to read the book...
nvm25 Says: I was in Gargnano for a one-off summer school in economics, but the University of Milano holds Italian corses there every July and August, so one day I will definitely take this opportunity to go back to this terrific place. 1300 euros for 3 weeks course including lodging...
mapakettle Says: The monastery dates back to 1266, and is remarkably preserved. The small garden area is wonderfully manicured, and as you wonder about reading the inscriptions and dates, you appreciate how time has seemingly stood still within these walls.The attached church has numerous...
Hotel Garni Riviera: Gargnano's Enchanting Hotel
Oscar-da-Costa Says: After visiting various towns around the Italian lakes I have decided that romantic Gargnano, on the shores of Lake Garda, takes the post. All you need is at hand: a handful of al fresco restaurants along the orange tree lined promenade, cafe, pharmacy, mini-market, fruit and...
Albergo Gargnano: If it was good enough for D.H. Lawrence...!!
mapakettle Says: D.H. Lawrence stayed here in 1912. What more could you ask?Ma Kettle and I couldn't even get inside the lobby, as it appeared to be closed. We saw movement within, but somehow, our rattling of the door didn't appear to make an impact on wait staff, nor attract the attention...
Bar Centomi Glia: Tasty meal...
mapakettle Says: This little bar was located right on the waterfront overlooking Lake Garda. However, the lake was obscured in part by the fruit bearing trees of a type which enticed Ma Kettle earlier. It was from the waitress of this little place that we got the low down on these dry,...
Within easy reach from Brescia (Milano)
nvm25 Says: Gargnano can be reached from Milano Centrale Railway Station by train+bus. A train should be taken from Milano Centrale to Brescia Railway Station and a bus from Brescia Railway station (the bus stop is just outside) to Gargnano. Each trip takes about one hour. Buses leave...
mapakettle Says: Every time Ma Kettle and I have been to the Lake Garda area, the ferry service has not been running. This has nothing to do with poor service on their part, simply bad luck on ours. Therefore we have never experienced first hand what it is like.However, my sister-in-law and...
mapakettle Says: Having wandered about somewhat, I feel parking in Gargnano would be at a premium, just adding to our belief that driving the perimeter of Lake Garda is foolish.Sita Bus service is wonderful, allowing an unobstructed view of Lake Garda as the bus follows the contour of the...

The stop in Gargnano was rather forced on us because this particular Sita bus we were riding terminated its journey at this little town. We had a three hour wait for another bus on which we could...

Gargnano: an ideal location on Lago di Garda
Garda Lake is the largest in the Italian lake district and is also considered to be the most beautiful. Of all the places I've been to in Italy, the scenary here can only be compared to that in the......
