Stunning holiday home getaway on the peaceful north bank of Lake Garda

A holiday home at the northern end of Lake Garda offers an escape to a different world. Italy's largest lake becomes narrower here, bringing stunning scenery of the Gruppo del Baldo mountains closer together, mirrored in the calm, clean water. Rent a holiday apartment and look forward to a peaceful getaway, as towns, villages and noise are a much rarer occurrence up here than on Lake Garda's southern banks. Nearby, the north-west banks of Lake Garda feature the stunning Parco Alto Garda Bresciano reserve.

Hunker down in a holiday home in the hills

The north bank of Lake Garda is spoilt for choice in terms of stunning nature. Of course the crystalline lake itself is enough reason to rent a holiday apartment for lazy days on the water, but visitors can also take the opportunity to explore some of the striking mountain landscapes of the Italian Alps. Many hiking and cycling trails lead from Lake Garda up to Monte Baldo and other mountains, offering spectacular views as well as lush alpine countryside. Breathe in the fresh air, get your blood pumping on an active walk or simply find a quiet spot to read a good book; a holiday flat here can really suit holidaymakers of all kinds.

Make the most of a lakeside holiday

Start looking through atraveo's options for holiday apartments on the north bank of Lake Garda and you'll soon see it's not easy to choose - from the charming village of Arco, surrounded by jagged cliffs and overlooked by a historic castle, to the open countryside of the Trentino region, the range is diverse. However, one thing they all have in common is proximity to some of the best swimming, water skiing, sunbathing and other activities you'll find anywhere. Families with kids will find plenty to entertain the young ones, and the safe swimming zones mean there's one less thing to worry about so parents can have a truly relaxing holiday in a stunning setting.
