My wife and I, both retired, spent four nights at Peschiera del Garda. We chose this town at the last minute because it was easy to reach from Verona, but were then concerned that it might not be as pretty as some of the more famous tourist destinations around Lake Garda, such as Sirmione, Malcesine and Garda. However, we were very pleasantly surprised that the centre of the town, which is on a small island, is really delightful, with a good choice of shops and restaurants and easy walks and fine views along the side of the lake. Peschiera is an old garison town and the old barracks building is actually very picturesque, looking like something from an opera set. We were lucky with the weather and made bus trips to other spots on the lake, where we were able to look around the towns and take beautiful walks. We spent a day (that threatened to be thundery) in Mantua, which is an hour's bus journey South of Peschiera and is well worth visiting, if you are interested in Renaissance art.
