The team at Distinctive Italy Weddings arranges for every type of wedding ceremony in Lake Garda

Lake Garda is romance personified. The Roman poet Catullus described it as: “It is the jewel of peninsulas and islands, both.” Indeed, Lake Garda with its sapphire blue waters and stunning views is sure to cast a spell on you. The lake is encircled by enchanting towns, while majestic mountains rise before your eyes. Around the lake shores are fragrant lemon groves, stunning flowering gardens, elegant cypress trees and olive groves producing a highly prized olive oil. Limone is particularly famed for its lemon groves which thrive due to the area’s warm micro climate.

Sirmione is one of the many captivating towns around Lake Garda and was a popular resort since ancient Roman times due to its hot springs. The pedestrian only streets will lead you to the fairytale Castello Scaligero with its panoramic views of the entire lake. Other towns such as Desenzano, Gardone Riviera, Tremosine and Salo’ each have its own particular charm and historical treasures. Lake Garda is easy to explore in a circular voyage stopping at the different towns for a stroll, enjoying an espresso at one of the panoramic cafes or a leisurely meal at one of the fine restaurants.
