Desenzano del Garda
Lombardy
Desenzano sits on the widest, most open stretch of Lake Garda's southern shore, its old harbour and Renaissance-era palazzo giving way to a series of grass and pebble lidos where the lake opens out wide enough to feel almost like a sea. A well-preserved Roman villa with mosaic floors sits just behind the lakefront.
