Overview

Malcesine is an additional spot on Lake Garda, in the area of the famous village of the same name on the eastern shore. Like all spots in this area, it benefits from the morning Peler and the afternoon Ora, the two iconic thermal winds of Lake Garda. The setting is exceptional with the Scaligero Castle, Monte Baldo as a backdrop and the turquoise waters of Italy's largest lake.
