San Felice del Benaco is caressed by the wind. From the promontory of San Fermo, you can admire the Isola del Garda, with its Venetian neo-Gothic villa; St Francis also passed through here, and chose it as a place to meditate. When the wind picks up, the lake ripples and the waves crash on the shore: you feel as though you are inside a painting. In Cisano, the cobbled streets and large gates opening onto manicured courtyards are an invitation to stay awhile and to relax, cradled in the wind’s embrace.
