SEVERAL PLACES OF INTEREST CAN BE FOUND NEAR SIRMIONE. WE RECOMMEND YOU VISIT:
SIGURTÀ GARDEN PARK
Covering about 60 hectares, the Sigurtà garden is an oasis of tranquillity and peace that is easily reached by car. Shaded paths will take you to small temples, grottoes, ponds, and a labyrinth; a kilometre-long avenue bordered by rose bushes gives you a glimpse of the Scaliger Castle, and the Great Lawn houses topiaries, century-old trees, and colourful flowers. Visitors can enjoy a day immersed in the pleasant atmosphere created by the garden, taking pictures of ist mesmerising flowers and observing the countryside from its panoramic walks.

We recommend a visit to Borghetto sul Mincio, situated very close to the Sigurtà garden. It‘s a medieval village recently included in the Club of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.
THE VITTORIALE DEGLI ITALIANI
The Vittoriale and its gardens were built in 1921 by Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, who furnished his home in a extravagant and fascinating way. Visitors can take a tour of the house and stroll around the gardens, which include an open-air theatre, waterways, water features, and a life-sized ship. The house and gardens overlook Lake Garda and were meant to celebrate both the poet‘s life and that of his fellow WWI soldiers.
