Desenzano del Garda — Centro Storico e Porto

Lombardy

Desenzano del Garda sits on the lake's southern shore with a compact old town and small working harbour, alongside the ruins of one of the largest Roman villas found on Lake Garda, discovered with well-preserved mosaic floors. The flat harbourfront is easy, giving a different Garda perspective than the Sirmione peninsula.
