Gardone Riviera is a small town of around 2700 inhabitants situated on the Brescia side of Lake Garda.
The town extends from the shoreline stretch, where the vegetation is typically Mediterranean, to the hills behind where the delicate pale green of the olive trees contrasts the intense green of the cypress trees.
Gardone has always been famous for its splendid walks which allow tourists to stroll inland along pathways offering breathtaking views surrounded by nature, peace and quiet and far from the noise of traffic.
