What to see around Lugana?

28 May 2024

The area of southern Lake Garda really has a lot to offer. After a nice breakfast at La Fenice with an artisanal brioche and a cappuccino made on the spot (or we recommend our delicious tasting of artisanal pastries to discover all the facets of our production!), you can head out to discover the surrounding area.

For those who love nature

We recommend the splendid green park called Parco Sicurtà in Valeggio sul Mincio – about 15km from Fenice. For those staying at our hotel Lugana Parco al Lago there are discounts for couples and families. This park can be visited on foot or by bicycle and allows you to observe different types of flowers throughout the year – the blooming of tulips is truly unmissable. Among water lily lakes and topiary art, you can discover rare plants and flowers while relaxing in an intense and vivid contact with nature.

For those who love adventure

One of the most beautiful walks – trekking on Lake Garda is the Busatte-Tempesta. It is not very close to La Fenice, but can be easily reached with a half-hour drive. There is a convenient car park right at the beginning of the route. The duration, which varies according to the pace, is about an hour and a half and includes panoramic points, some stops for photographs and also stairs, which are quite long and at times a little steep. However, it is a well-maintained path and also suitable for children. This is a different way of seeing Lake Garda, from an incredible perspective that will truly leave you breathless.

For those who love history

Lake Garda is rich in history and culture, to be discovered and visited as a couple, with friends or with the family. A truly interesting place for the history of the unification of Italy is the monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, the so-called Tower of San Martino della Battaglia. It stands in the middle of the battle field, now a protected park and completely covered with Turbiana vineyards, the native vine for the production of Lugana Doc. You pay an entrance ticket to access the tower, but a visit to the museum next door is also included which contains various nineteenth-century finds relating to the battle of San Martino and Solferino, which is also told in school textbooks. The climb up the tower is a bit steep at times, but the view you can enjoy from the top is worth the effort: in fact, a 360 degree panorama opens up over the southern area of ​​the lake and on the clearest days you can even see the Villa del Garda with its neo-Gothic spires.

For those who love food and wine

Per chi vuole approfondire invece la conoscenza dei prodotti tipici locali, in primis il vino Lugana Doc non può mancare una visita alla nostra cantina Ca’ dei Frati. L’azienda nota sin dal 1700 come tenuta agricola, ha una storia ben più lunga che parte con l’attività dei frati Carmelitani Scalzi dell’ordine di Santa Maria de Senioribus che producevano il vino per la messa. Ca’ dei Frati inoltre ha visto nascere la Doc Lugana: tra i firmatari del primo disciplinare ci fu proprio Pietro Dal Cero, fondatore dell’azienda vinicola. Nel fine settimana sono previste visite speciali che comprendono anche pranzo o cena sul lago nel nostro ristorante (La Lugana Trattoria).
