Looking for recommendations for a Lake Garda trip with a group of 4 (2 adults, 2 people in their twenties).
What we want:
-Privacy/quiet accommodation
-Access to hiking and biking trails
-Activities and nightlife for the younger crowd
Any suggestions on which towns/areas would be the best fit? We want somewhere we can chill and have our own space, but also get outdoors during the day and have some fun in the evenings.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
For Lake Garda, I suggest considering towns on the northern tip of the lake: particularly Riva del Garda, Limone sul Garda or possibly Malcesine. All are very picturesque. I liked Riva and Limone better than Malcesine. The scenery up that way is spectacular and the mountains are right there. Tremosine is a pretty nearby area to explore. I have no idea about biking trails. I have an Italian cousin that lives in a small town there in the Brescia province and on a trip I am considering, when I asked him for recommendations on where to go in that area he suggested Lake Iseo instead of Garda and staying in the town of Iseo. Much less touristed than Garda and also very beautiful. Take a look at Iseo. Much quieter and you won't see the crowds you will find in the summer at Garda. I have not been there yet but it is on my wish list. I have been to the towns I mentioned on Garda, but as daytrips and not to stay overnight. Sirmione on Garda is very pretty with its castle but it is quite small and heavily touristed. and not so many mountain views from there. Visit there if you want to see the castle but not to stay overnight and in good weather, be prepared for crowds there.
