Vacation in May on Lake Garda

April, with its sunny days, yet somewhat unstable weather, is a great month for a vacation (we talked about it here).

But May is even better, since it marks the beginning of the summer season (starting May 21st). This month brings with it a bunch of opportunities to experience a vacation between heaven and earth, lake and mountains, that only northern Lake Garda can offer. 

May: Welcome summer with a vacation 

May is undoubtedly the month when you can experience more during a vacation: from picnics on the beach (thanks to the warm sun and green lawns of the beaches in Alto Garda) to first dives (for the bold!), from windsurfing, canoeing , SUP or sail boating to bike rides or hiking

Why? Simple: the month of May offers sunny days that are never too hot and, during this month, you can practice high-intensity activities that are unthinkable during the summer. 

Riva del Garda, Torbole, Arco: the mountains here seem to blend into the blue (and very clean) water of the lake, creating an enviably beautiful scenario. 

Biking holidays in May. Let’s take a ride around Lake Garda!

The bicycle-Lake Garda binomial has always been a winning combination! The reason is easy to figure out: bike lanes, mountain trails, and gentle slopes for any degree of difficulty. For those who love two wheels, the month of May in Lake Garda is definitely for you! Would you like to experience a difficult but wonderful bike trail? Then don’t miss Monte Creino! Or would you rather like to see the most panoramic? Then that’s definitely the Ponale (LINK INTERNO). The easiest? The wonderful lakeside bike rides you can take from Torbole to Riva del Garda. Truly enchanting for children. 

A hiking vacation in May on Lake Garda 

Trekkiing d'autunno Lago di garda

An itinerary can be admired and appreciated more if experienced on foot. Stopping to take in a breathtaking view, breathing in the “here and now”, being part of nature and the cosmos: hiking outdoors is really more than just “going for a walk outside”. 

A hiking vacation really offers a lot, especially if beauty permeates your every step, just like it does in Lake Garda

The area also offers many itineraries that are suitable for children. With or without a stroller, the northern side of the lake is full of easy trails. A great family vacation with outdoor sports, walks, or hikes is truly an experience that can bring everyone together and become a beautiful memory to photograph and treasure. 

Why May? Because this month, which welcomes summer with its mild sunny days, is ideal for children, but also for grown-ups and for those who don’t like the heat of summer but want to enjoy the Mediterranean climate. Northern Lake Garda in Trentino (Torbole sul Garda, Riva, and Arco) is a combination of  lake and mountains, beaches and outdoor fun, like no other. Any type of holiday her is a dream turned into reality. 

Book a vacation in May in one of our two accommodations: Residence Toblini and Casa Toblini Al Lago, both located in Torbole and just a stone’s throw from the historic center and beaches. Start thinking about happy times.

April on Lake Garda: Spring vacation par excellence

An Italian proverb says, “April sweet slumber”, but that’s not quite so. April is when everything, and everyone, awakens after a long winter’s sleep and flourishes, just like nature does! 

Flowers bloom, days get longer, but what about us? We get away

And what could be better than taking advantage of the sun that starts peeping out to organize an “escape” in a wonderful corner of  the Mediterranean called Lake Garda

A vacation in Torbole sul Garda in April encompasses everything. You can enjoy a mild climate and already pleasant temperatures, which are perfect for practicing outdoor sports, even on the lake! 

In Torbole, the home of windsurfing, sailing, and all water sports in general, it’s almost impossible not to try your hand at a water sport during your vacation! 

Unlike the warmer months, April offers less crowds, fewer  risks (practicing a new water sport gets a bit tricky when the lake is full of boats and swimmers), and much lower prices than in high season. 

Sports, such as trekking or mountain biking, are also ideal in April. Both the excessive heat and bitter cold are just a fading memory. The  maximum temperatures recorded during this month are approximately 18° C. with peaks up to 20. Just perfect!

And if the sun is your daytime companion, April is truly the best month for a bike ride or a walk along one of the many hiking paths Lake Garda in Trentino has to offer. 

Torbole, Riva del Garda, and Arco are truly among the most beautiful places on the lake, each with their own peculiarity worth discovering. The neighboring towns in the province of Verona (Malcesine) and Brescia (Limone) are also quite lovely to visit in April.

But the most exciting itinerary of your vacation could end up being an excursion to Monte Baldo, which becomes an expanse of colorful primrose! And, from up there, the lake looks like an atypical fjord! Get your cameras ready! 

Actually, all the mountains around the lake are worth a visit in April, the month during which nature awakens and offers colors that we can only dream of in summer! 

Another wonderful experience you shouldn’t miss out on  in April ? A fun picnic! The fields and lawns are green again, and all the newly grown wildflowers will make your picnic incredibly fragrant. You can choose a lawn directly on a lakefront, like in Torbole or Riva, or a more romantic picnic on the lawn of the Arco castle! 

This shore of the lake offers castles, majestic mountains, a Central European atmosphere but, at the same time, the pleasantness of a typically Mediterranean climate, along with sports worthy of a Mediterranean island. 

All you have to do is treat yourself to an April vacation in this corner of paradise, and perhaps in one of our two accommodation facilities: Casa Toblini Al Lago (directly on the beach of Torbole) and Residence Toblini (in the center and a stone’s throw from the lake and the colorful village of Torbole). 

So, don’t ever let it be said that April is the month of slumber!

5 things you don’t know about Lake Garda

It’s really very big for being a lake, to the point that it resembles a fresh-water sea. It wets three Italian cities: Brescia, Verona, and Trentino. It’s the largest lake in Italy and, besides being breathtaking, Lake Garda offersseveralpeculiarities that not everyone is familiar with.

Let’s discover them together.

1 Land of the outdoors. This tourist destination loved by Italians and foreigners is one of the places preferred by sailing and climbing enthusiasts, but also mountain bikers and trekking excursionists. In short, all outdoor sports become even more exciting here!

2 Depth & Co. Lake Garda is located 65 meters above sea level, it stretches 51.6 km in length from Riva del Garda to Peschiera, with a width of 17.2 km, and a maximum depth of 346 meters. Not bad! What temperature is the water? During summer, the lake is always about 20° Celsius. This makes swimming  in it really pleasant (yes, it is safe for bathing), especially when the outdoor temperature exceeds 30° Celsius! 

3 Mr. Wind. The north side of Lake Garda, from Malcesine to Limone up to Riva del Garda, but especially Torbole sul Garda, is dominatedby winds. Regular and constant, these winds create a Mediterranean microclimate north of the lake, despite it being mountainous. Temperatures are mild, with a summer average of 30° Celsius, and winter is never very cold. This is why you can practice outdoor sports all year round. The wind in Garda, known as the “Ora”, blows in from the south and is the “undisputed master” of this territory, making Torbole the land of windsurfing and sailing.

4 A variety of food and wine. What can you eat during a holiday on Lake Garda? You’ll be spoiled for choice, but the Trentino side of the lake is, without a doubt, the richest in gastronomic specialties. From carne salada to the best P.D.O. extra virgin olive farthest north worldwide, its local products are truly excellent products to discover and savor! Did you know that Torboleoffers a type of broccoli with quite a unique flavor?! The Slow Food Presidium renamed it “Son of the Wind”,  thanks to the strong winter winds which blow between Arco and Torbole that give this vegetable its unique sweet flavor. You can find it freshly harvested in winter but also during other seasons in the form of a spread, which is delicious on freshly toasted bread or on a nice plate of spaghetti! And let’s not forget wine, which is the true pride of Trentino! There are many taverns and wineries that offer their finest bottles (for true connoisseurs) but also lighter wines that are very popular with less demanding palates. 

carne salada

5 A NON-Norwegian fjord. Northern Lake Garda resembles a Norwegian fjord. High mountains “embrace” its (very clean) waters, making it seem just like a fjord! But the Mediterranean climate here, and also its temperatures (pleasant even in the middle of winter), reminds you that we’re actually in Italy, in this corner of the Mediterranean called Lake Garda! 

There are many things still to be discovered around the largest lake in Italy. But, to do that, instead of reading this article, maybe you should book a vacation here! And in Residence Toblini and Casa Toblini Al Lago in Torbole, you’ll be at just a stone’s throw from its colorful village and its breathtaking beaches. So, are you ready for a Mediterranean escape? 

Lakes to visit near Lake Garda

Lago di Ledro

Lake Garda is immense, like the sea! Blue from afar and, from its crystal clear waters, this lake – the largest in Italy – is definitely worth a visit! But its northernmost part, the easiest to reach from the Brenner, in Trentino, is a land full of other lakes, more or less as vast as Lake Garda, and many are also suitable for swimming! 

In fact, a holiday in Lake Garda Trentino also allows for a nice tour of the nearby lakes both by car and bike. 

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAKES TO VISIT AROUND LAKE GARDA

If you love cycling (MTB, racing, or electric), a nice excursion on two wheels to discover the nearby lakes will be really easy and fun. Starting from one of the most beautiful villages in all of Lake Garda, Torbole sul Garda, you can reach one of the most spectacular alpine lakes of them all:

Lake Tenno.

Lago di tenno
Lago di tenno

Small enough to be circumnavigated in an hour by canoe, of an intense emerald color, this alpine lake is one of the most photographed lakes on social media. Safe to swim in, even for children, it harbors a peculiarity: a magnificent islet in the center of the lake, which can also be reached on foot when the water level drops. From there, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the nearby medieval village of Canale di Tenno by bike trail: a place suspended in time, where you can enjoy typical local dishes like carne salada e fasoi!

Lake Ledro

Lago di Ledro
Lago di Ledro

You definitely have to take a ride to Lake Ledro. This lake is one of the cleanest in Europe. Safe to swim in, and perfect for children, with its  pebbles, grass, and clear blue waters, it’s ideal for canoeing, SUP or even just a relaxing ride on a pedal boat. Then, after a nice swim, your children will love to visit the pile dwellings museum, a very important testimony of the Bronze Age, while the more daring can practice canyoning in nearby streams and visit beautiful waterfalls, such as the Gorg d’Abiss. What’s the best way to reach Lake Ledro? Easy, along one of the most beautiful trails in Europe, on foot or by mountain bike: the Ponale. 

And what should you take back home with you? A pack of Storo polenta. A real must-have to enjoy, as is the well-known gnocco Boemo

Lake Toblino

Lago di Toblino
Lago di Toblino

The lake of fairy tales… with even a castle in the center! Lake Toblino, which you can reach via an easy bike trail, is a very romantic lake, suspended between a dream world and reality, in the beautiful Valle dei Laghi. 

You can’t swim in this lake, so you’ll have to settle taking photos and strolling around it on foot. 

Sometimes, in the morning, the Toblino castle emerges from the mist of the lake. Legend tells that fairies and gnomes once lived here happily, and there’s even a small temple dedicated to them, as a plaque placed in the portico of the castle recalls.

The lake is surrounded by a thicket of reeds, and migratory birds and many species of fish take refuge here. The scenery is relaxing and ideal for walks and rides.

To fully admire the 16th-century castle, we suggest you to take the wooden walkway that runs along the banks. The perfect place for couples to steal a kiss! 

The very unique Lake Loppio, along the Adige-Garda pedestrian/bike path, is also worth a mention.

Until a few decades ago, it was a very beautiful alpine lake. In the 1950s, a tunnel was dug between the Adige river and Lake Garda, in order to drain excess water from the river when it overflowed, therefore, eliminating any risk of flooding. The tunnel was built right under Lake Loppio, which emptied when the aquifer was intercepted. Today, this former lake is a very fascinating biotope to visit and is home to many species of animals and birds. And don’t forget the characteristic islet of Sant’Andrea!

So, as you can see, Lake Garda isn’t the only lake in the area! A vacation in Torbole can be a magnificent dynamic experience in search of emotions and thrills. But have you already chosen your accommodations? At the Toblini Apartments, we have everything that couples (seeking relaxation or sports) and families could need. Take a look here, and start your vacation adventure.

The most beautiful beaches on Lake Garda: a paradise for families and sports enthusiasts

spiaggia attrezzata Torbole sul Garda

Bask in the sun accompanied by the sound of crickets and cooled by the Ora wind, with the scent of the Mediterranean and a postcard panorama. This is Lake Garda, where every day is the right day for a beach experience! 

Lake Garda – almost as vast as the sea, with its crystal clear  waters of an intense blue, which are always refreshing and restorative – is known worldwide for the beauty of its landscapes. But while the vast, flat southernmost part will remind you of the sea, because of the absence of mountain ranges, northern Lake Garda in the province of Trento is enthralling, with its iconic shape that’s reminiscent of an atypical Norwegian fjord. 

Right here, situated among Torbole, Riva del Garda (in Trentino), Malcesine (in Veneto), and Limone (in Lombardy), the lake narrows and is embraced by lush majestic mountains that outline its contour. 

Enjoying an entire day at the beach here is certainly sublime, especially if you’re a sports enthusiast and love water sports. 

A home to sailing, windsurfing, and kite surfing, Torbole is probably the most suitable village for a sports vacation focused on water sports, thanks to an element that is an integral part of this territory: the wind and, specifically, the Ora, typical of Garda, which blows from south to north and is ideal for sailing, kite surfing, and windsurfing enthusiasts who love to have fun whizzing across the lake. 

But which are the most beautiful beaches on Lake Garda

There are several well-known beaches in Torbole sul Garda, for regattas and wind-sports enthusiasts, with their manicured green lawns and many cafés and restaurants where you can sip a drink at sunset as you watch surfers surf and yachtsmen navigate across the lake nudged by the wind.

Circolo Surf Torbole

Spiaggia Lungolago [Lakeside Beach]. A beach that’s worth considering, since it’s very close to the colorful village of Torbole, with its unforgettable views, bike path, and many services including beach umbrellas and sun beds, which are almost impossible to find throughout the entire north side of the lake. Another peculiarity is that it is the windiest area of all! But it’s also perfect for families with children because of the many services it offers.

Torbole Strand am See
Torbole Strand am See
  • Spiaggia delle Lucertole [Lizard Beach] (Corno di Bò). Lovers of the wild, this is for you. This beautiful beach, which can also be easily reached by canoe or SUP from Torbole, towards Tempesta, is very small, but it is truly breathtaking, seeing that it is a cliff (a piece of mountain ridge with sheer sides) much sought after by climbing enthusiasts. 
  • Porfina di Riva del Garda. Very close to the beautiful San Nicolò marina in Riva del Garda – with its posh clubs, enlivened by the sound of sail boats – this trendy beach is very wide, directly on the pedestrian/bike path that leads from Riva to Torbole, and it’ also fully serviced for families with children (with a nearby playground), cafés,  and convenient parking. Ideal for sports enthusiasts – who’ll enjoy exploring perfect coves for windsurfing – but also for families.
  • Navene. We’re in Malcesine, the Venetian shore of Lake Garda. Here peace and tranquility rule the roost. The silence is broken only by the many kite sails you’ll be able to admire on the lake. This beach is, in fact, a kitesurfer’s dream, with lots of  places from which you can rent equipment or even take a class, and you’ll love the weather here too. Canoeing, SUP, and wingfoiling: a sports enthusiast’s paradise where even dogs are welcome. This beach isn’t really trendy, so you’ll definitely be able to relax on its long shore, perfect for sunbathing, since the sun sets a bit later than in Torbole. Ideal for a sunset picnic on Lake Garda! 

Also worth mentioning is the well-known, beautiful Giamaica Beach of Simione, on the Brescia side of the lake, with its crystal clear water… but watch out! It’s always really crowded in summer, yet, it’s definitely still a must-see! 

Lake Garda offers a myriad of beaches to explore! Small and discreet for the true-at-heart hippy, or vast and long and fully-serviced for families with children, with also clubs for sports enthusiasts and for passionate and dynamic vacationers, with peaceful beaches immersed in a serene environment. The choice is yours! And if you want a beach experience even when you sleep, you can stay overnight in one of our six apartments at Casa Toblini Al Lago directly on the beach. Your alarm clock? The waves of the lake! 

Have a great vacation! 

September on Lake Garda: between foliage and the last glimmer of summer

Hot, but not scorching, a pleasant breeze known as the Ora that’s not as strong during this month, crystalline water that’s warmer than it is in springtime because heated by the heat of summer: this is September and, perhaps, this month, which is the end to summer, has much more to offer than you can imagine. 

A September holiday on Lake Garda is an experience that involves all of your senses: from taste – with the many first fruits the Earth has to propose, to smell – entranced by the intense aromas of ripe figs, from sight –  satisfied by the first hints of foliage, to hearing – with the lulling waves that gently break on the shore, to touch. 

Eat, relax, experience the adrenaline of outdoor sports, and enjoy the Mediterranean climate in September in Torbole sul Garda: the undisputed home of sailing and mountain biking. 

Why spend your vacation here in September?

Simple: it’s more convenient, there are less crowds, places seem made just for you, and our perception of its exclusivity increases. 

The slow pace of a September vacation cannot compare with the hustle and bustle of the summer, when you need to book every single activity that interests you. 

Weather in September on Lake Garda 

Weather forecasts clearly indicate an increasingly clear trend in recent years: warm, sunny, and incredibly serene autumn seasons! The mild and typically Mediterranean climate the lake offers is the “cause” of this unique climate, appreciated by hundreds of tourists who choose Lake Garda every year for their vacation. This is how September was rediscovered, thanks to a climate that’s as favorable as springtime is, a month that greets the summer with dignity, with typically summer days, but with the hues and hints of autumn. 

Get your camera ready… you’ll take some great, unforgettable shots in September!

Your vacation in an apartment with swimming pool in Torbole sul Garda

If you’ve decided on a September vacation, and you want all the privacy of an apartment, but also the comfort of a beautiful outdoor pool and an indoor pool heated to 27° C. with solar panels, there’s a place in Torbole sul Garda just 100 meters from the historic center and beach: Residence Toblini

Both the Residence and Casa Toblini al Lago are more than a place to stay… they’re a place of the heart. 

A big family, where you’re greeted in the lush green garden with a cocktail and many services and amenities. 

From parking to bike storage with video surveillance, from a washing machine to a small workshop for quick repairs. 

And, also pools and a café. You’ll find everything you’re looking for here. 

Choose among the very modern studio, or two or three room apartments. Forget everything else. It’s time to think about happiness… and Lake Garda in September can really offer you a lot of it!

September in Lake Garda

What can you do in September, what can you see or discover in a magical place like Lake Garda? There’s definitely plenty. 

We can start by saying that, in recent years, September has become one of the most popular months for vacationing. 

And one of the reasons is because September weather in Lake Garda offers incredibly sunny days with ideal temperatures for outdoor activities, biking and trekking, water sports, or even just lakeside walks, without having to deal with the heat of August and without encountering “crazy” spring weather. 

Another important aspect to consider when choosing your vacation in Lake Garda is that many events which had been scheduled for spring and summer last year, have been rescheduled for this fall due to the pandemic: from the famous Bike Festival (held in October this year) to spectacular events dedicated to flowers and plants, such as Arcobonsai and Arcofiori 2021 (September 24th to 26th ). There’s really something for everyone. 

One the many sought-after places around the lake that merits being visited during your vacation is definitely Torbole sul Garda.

Imagine a colorful village with a quaint fairytale-like Customs House in its marina. Imagine an explosion of Mediterranean colors and scents. That’s  Torbole. An enchantment for any tourist seeking tranquility, clean air, outdoor sports, and excellent food and wine. 

And, if you visit Torbole in September, don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy young Trentino wine in one of the many wineries throughout the territory! A winning combination? Bike & wine! Take one of the many bike paths that lead from the lake and bike to the wineries for wine tastings!

September is also the month for delicious first fruits, such as figs, which abound in Torbole, and fragrant Dro dop plums. 

A food and wine vacation in Torbole will introduce you to local dishes, such as carne salada, Bleggio walnuts, cheeses, and traditional Trentino cold cuts. And let’s not forget tasty lake fish.

A nice glass of wine, some fresh lake fish, and a breathtaking sunset on the lake. Is there anything more romantic for a couple’s vacation? 

Take advantage of the mild and pleasant temperatures (heated by the summer months), but which are never hot, and book a September vacation in Torbole sul Garda. 

Our two accommodation facilities in the center of Torbole are just 100 meters from the lake (Residence Toblini) e directly on the beach, on the bike path (Casa Toblini Al Lago). 

What else could you wish for? 

Indoor and outdoor swimming pool, convenient free parking, storage for bikes and sails, a well-kept garden, and a café that’s always at your disposal.

We’re the only ones with apartments in all of Torbole sul Garda that offer both indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

Lake Garda Waterfalls – A Dip Between Heaven and Earth

cascata Gorg d'Abiss

A dip between heaven and earth. A gentle splash that is music to the ears of walking and hiking enthusiasts. We’re talking about the melodious sound of waterfalls. Nature’s true wonders. 

Which are the most beautiful waterfalls in Lake Garda?

You can find some really wonderful ones here that can easily be reached by car, like the Varone waterfalls, or after a nice walk in the woods, like the Gorg d’Abiss in Val di Ledro, or even those that are a bit more off the beaten path, like the Ponale, which you can get to also by water. 

Gorg d’Abiss waterfall

cascata Gorg d’Abiss

We’re in Val di Ledro, in Tiarno di Sotto, just thirty minutes by car from Residence Toblini and Casa al Lago (Torbole). 

Starting from town, you reach the start of the trail that, from the old Bugatini Mill, after a short walk into the woods, will lead you to the Gorg d’Abiss – “Vortex of the Abyss” – waterfall and its splendid emerald green color. Just like a fairytale! 

Varone waterfall between Riva del Garda and Tenno 

We’re in Trentino, home of waterfalls and woods, and the most vivacious wild nature. These spectacular waterfalls are the easiest to visit, even with small children. A practical parking area is available right outside of the entrance. And this is  where the amazing tour of the park begins. The waterfalls are in Foci, within the Parco Grotta Cascata Varone. 

The waterfall originates from the underground springs of Lake Tenno and, through limestone caves that were hallowed out over thousands of years, ends in an almost 100-meter gorge.

The Varone waterfall, just 8 kilometers from the Toblini apartments, is one of the most popular places to visit around Lake Garda. Historical note: the building, which serves as an entrance, was designed by a very famous local architect, Giancarlo Maroni, the same architect who, in that period, also designed the Vittoriale (Gabriele D’Annunzio’s villa in Gardone).

Simply spectacular and a must-see. 

Ponale waterfall

You’re probably already familiar with the Ponale trail, which we wrote about here. It’s one of the most popular scenic cycling and walking trails in all of Europe. But what you may not know is that there are some very lovely waterfalls you can visit right along it.

After Ponale Alto, you cross the bridge over the Ponale stream and continue to the left, taking the trail that leads to the Ponale waterfall, a hidden location, and that’s probably why it’s even lovelier to visit. 

And it’s even more exciting if you reach the waterfall by lake, with a canoe or even a SUP! Some extra “exertion” that will be amply rewarded by a spectacular view. 

These are the three waterfalls you can admire around Torbole and our facilities: Residence Toblini e Casa a Lago, both located in Torbole. 

Already have some ideas for your next vacation? If you want it to be vacation surrounded by the spectacle that is nature, take a look at our availabilities for the 2021 season.
