So what's it like?
Nestling on the eastern shore of Lake Garda at the foot of Monte Baldo, amidst olive groves and lush pine vegetation, lies the ancient town of Malcesine. Originally a sleepy fishing village, it is today a picturesque and animated resort with narrow cobbled streets winding down to a quaint little harbour.

One of the easiest places to find is the castle, highlights include beautiful views over the lake and village from the top of the tower, the chance to take a sneak peak at one of the many weddings held in the castle every summer and the excellent exhibition about the lake.
