Been there several times in the last 15 years or so, last in July 2024. Lovely park with lushing greenery, a lot of trees providing a refreshing shadow zone during hot, summer days. The park features a top notch quality, huge, enormous (trust me) lawn, with perfectly maintained grass, free dining tables and barbeques. Sun beds can be taken for rent. A total of: three bars, three swimming pools, four huge playground areas for kids are present and available for free. The park features also two natural ponds and a restaurant. Overall, everything is very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Kind and friendly personnel. Definitely recommend specially if you have kids.
Surprisingly fun day! Our daughter (9 years) was playing non-stop from 10.00 till 18.30h. We were afraid it would be super busy, since it was one of the few sunny days and it was a Sunday, but the place was so huge it never felt crowded. Food, ice and drinks were very affordable. Only downside is that the water temperature in the pools felt too cold for us adults (end of July). Tip: for the lounge beds you need to pay €3,50 at the bar, to get a plastic thing you use to unfold one of the beds. And you'll also need a 2 euro coin to get the beds (which you'll get back when you return the bed, just like a shopping cart in a supermarket).
Go check this place out!!! We went there with our 3 year old daughter and it was perfect for her and for us. The park was not packed at all - this might change during the weekend. It is absolutely impeccable, very well maintained, great for children, and the name is correct - it is really very quiet and relaxed. The entry price might sound a bit high, but we will go back and happily pay it again because you actually get a place of relaxation. The entry price includes parking, free wifi and an umbrella. If you want chairs, you can get them at the two kiosks at the opposite end of the park for 3,50 EUR per chair. The water pirate park was our daughter's favorite and ours as well. You can even go ziplining and play mini-golf in the park. It is a must visit when at Lake Garda!!!
Nice place, once you can find it. Hidden gem? Tucked back in the countryside. Lots to offer, lots of parking, once you can find it down hiking and biking trails (depending how you navigate it). Go to Il Leone Mall Lonato and follow Google from there. It will be MUCH easier to get there without concern of 4x4 or otherwise. This will preclude driving down bicycle and walking paths on the way, depending on approach direction. Then have fun! Lots to do, quiet lives up to its name. Go check it out. We were very pleasantly surprised!
It’s a relaxing and fun place for friends and families. You can grill bbq’s and have lunch together in the picnic area. Inside the parco, there are a lot of kids area that they sure will enjoy.
The best acqua park I have ever been! Perfect for a relaxing family day out,kids and adults loved it.
What a fabulous place! Happened to come across it when we were staying in Sirmione & had hired e-bikes & wanted a countryside bike ride & a swim. There didn't seem to be many tourists there when we visited on a Sunday, however very well supported by local families. Staff spoke excellent English, the place is super well maintained & spotlessly clean, with life guards on duty upholding the poolside regulations. Had a lovely few hours, renting sunbeds around one of the three pools & enjoyed a nice lunch in the onsite restaurant. Would definitely return if in the area
If you travel in the northwest Italy and near Verona, make sure to visit. I recommend it. No regrets!

Castle
Landmark fortress built between the 10th & 15th centuries, with a museum & views of the lake.
Slide 1 of 8
A wonderful place for a small trade show. Very scenic & relaxing atmosphere.
Great place to visit while in the neighbourhood of Garda, or staying in Lonato. Entrance 6 EUR.
Nice views, lots of space, ornithology museum included in ticket price, interactive room (sound could be cleaner)
Would be a five-star, but there is absolutely nothing inside and... you have to pay for it! But, to be fair, the fortress is kept in very good shape. Great views. Quite interesting exposition of birds, but I can't name these 3 rooms a "museum". There is also a modern building inside, which i assume can be rented for weddings/other events.
Super wonderfull medieval castle.. with a 360 view of Garda lake and Padan flatland. A must see place in the zone. Interesting the museum of owner and his famous historical library. For modern people it's a renting place for business meeting, weddings and parties.
Got married in this splendid location. Every single thing was great. All the providers are very professional and deliver high service. The day was perfect thanks to all of them. I would recommend this location to everyone as you will be for sure in very good hands and care of. Grazie
Beautiful well preserved place. Great sightseeing from the towers. Visiting Da Como's villa is worth the time: my kids impressed by various things and lots of very old books inside
Views from the Rocca towards Lake Garda are amazing and the house of the Podesta is a historical jewel well worth visiting.

It was one of the most impressive medieval castel I have ever seen 'cause the owners made great job to to create an interior with such rare furniture. And don't forget about the 50 thousand books in the library, it's incredible. The guide speaks excellent English and told me all the information, I found it very interesting. High recommend to visit.
(Translated by Google) Yesterday a wonderful visit that led me to discover the history, culture, experience and personal experiences of a politician who dedicated his life to society and much more about the past of this area. It was a unique experience. I ended the visit with a much broader personal baggage and a sense of pleasure and enchantment for these places that took my speech away, I was so pleasantly stunned and amazed. You can experience all this too... just go to the website where you can find all the information for the visits and the events and workshops they organise. So, my dear readers, you have no excuses and, who knows, maybe we will find ourselves walking together in this magical place. (Original) Ieri stupenda visita che mi ha portata a scoprire storia, cultura, vissuto e vissuto personale di un politico che ha dedicato la vita alla società e tanto altro del passato di questo territorio. É stata un’esperienza unica. Ho terminato la visita con un bagaglio personale molto più ampio e un senso di piacere e incanto per questi luoghi che mi hanno tolto la parola tanto ero piacevolmente basita e folgorata. Tutto questo potete viverlo anche voi… basta andare sul sito dove potete trovare tutte le informazioni per le visite e gli eventi e laboratori che organizzano. Quindi, cari miei lettori, non avete scusanti e, chissà, magari ci troviamo a passeggiare insieme in questo luogo magico.
(Translated by Google) This villa was built in 1400. It had belonged to the Serenissima Republic of Venice for several centuries. Lonato del Garda was governed by Venice for more than 350 years. This building was the governor's home. Later it was given to Austria by Napoleon. It later became the property of Lonato del Garda. In 1906 the villa was purchased by Ugo da Como. He was a member of the Italian parliament. Ugo da Como restored the building and furnished it with furniture purchased from rich people. In the villa we can see about twenty rooms with many paintings, frescoes and photographs. There is also a library with more than 50,000 ancient books. The villa can only be visited with a guided tour. (Original) Questa villa venne costruita nel 1400. Era appartenuta alla Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia per alcuni secoli.

In seguito divenne proprietà di Lonato del Garda. Nel 1906 la villa venne acquistata da Ugo da Como. Era un membro del parlamento italiano.

(Translated by Google) 👍🏻👍🏻beautiful historical tower, but you can’t always find parking in the city center (Original) 👍🏻👍🏻красивая историческая башня,но в центре города не всегда можно найти парковку
The Civic Tower (Torre Civica) is one of the most iconic landmarks of Lonato del Garda, a historic town near Lake Garda in northern Italy. Built in the 16th century, the tower once served as a watchtower and a bell tower, playing an important role in the town’s defense and communication system. Standing in the heart of the old town, the tower is easily recognizable thanks to its height and clock. From the top, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Lonato, the surrounding countryside, and even Lake Garda on clear days. It is often included in cultural walking tours of the historic center. The tower symbolizes the town’s civic pride and historical heritage, making it a must-see attraction for visitors interested in history, architecture, and local culture. Unfortunately the tower is opened only on Sundays.
(Translated by Google) I didn't believe that Lonato had a beautiful historic center where the civic tower stands out illuminated (Original) Non credevo che Lonato avesse un bel centro storico dove la torre civica svetta illuminata
(Translated by Google) Discovered by chance, the multimedia tour inside guides you through the tower's history. Masterfully executed, with the participation of actors. Full admission €3. Highly recommended! (Original) Scoperta per caso, percorso multimediale all'interno che ti guida raccontandoti la storia della torre. Eseguito in maniera magistrale con la partecipazione di alcuni attori. Biglietto di ingresso intero 3€. Consigliatissima!
(Translated by Google) I recommend seeing it inside. It was a nice discovery. A system with a hologram voice and sound effects guides you to discover the history of the tower. Really a great idea, never seen before. Congratulations to the creators! (Original) Consiglio di vederla all'interno. È stata una bella scoperta. Un sistema con una voce ologrammi e effetti sonori guida alla scoperta della storia della torre. Veramente una bella idea, mai visto prima d'ora. Complimenti agli ideatori!
(Translated by Google) Very pretty to see (Original) Très jolie à voir
(Translated by Google) Beautiful visit. A multimedia story on the history of the Civic Tower, conducted by an exceptional narrator, a jailer. Super recommended! (Original) Bellissima visita. Un racconto multimediale sulla storia della Torre Civica, condotto da un narratore d'eccezione, un carceriere. Super consigliato!
(Translated by Google) Beautiful then with the latest restoration they fixed the stairs and installed a recorded voice that tells little anecdotes. Go and visit it because it is worth it (Original) Bellissima poi con l’ultimo restauro hanno sistemato scale e installato una voce registrata che racconta piccoli aneddoti.

Before visiting it is useful to check that it is open on the site. (Original) Un complesso archeologico unico nel suo genere. Si trovava sud lì Lonato e in direzione di Castiglione delle Stiviere.
