Gardone Riviera

the garden of Garda

Gardone Riviera is coloured by the flowers of its gardens. Strolling along the 'Paul Heyes' promenade or soaking up the atmosphere in the Heller Botanical Garden immerses you in the colours and fragrances of the splendid early-20th-century villas. Gardone Sopra was the home of D'Annunzio, whose original ideas gave rise to the Vittoriale degli Italiani: during your visit here, enjoy a succession of astonishing vistas in which the yellow of the Priory and the green of the cypresses seem to emerge directly from the shimmering blue of the lake.
