Castelnuovo del Garda, Verona: Lake Garda Holidays
Castelnuovo del Garda sits near the southern shore of Lake Garda in the Verona area of Italy, and it is a brilliant base for a family holiday with a difference. The big draw is the area's theme parks alongside the lake itself.
UK families pick it for the mix of thrills and lakeside scenery, with the historic city of Verona an easy trip away for a dose of culture.
Where to stay in Castelnuovo del Garda
Accommodation here leans towards family fun. Gardaland Adventure Hotel is a four-star themed adventure hotel next to Gardaland Resort in Castelnuovo del Garda, a hit with children and handy for early starts at the park.
Getting there and when to go
Flights from the UK serve the Verona and wider region, with a short transfer to the lake. The season runs spring to autumn, warmest in July and August. June and September are pleasant and a little quieter.
Beaches and resorts
This is a lake rather than a sea destination, with pebbly and grassy shores, gentle swimming spots and lovely views across the water and surrounding hills.
Food and things to do
Italian food is everywhere, from pizza and pasta to lakeside gelato. Beyond the theme parks you can swim in the lake, take boat trips, cycle the shoreline and visit nearby Verona.
Who it suits
Castelnuovo del Garda suits families with children who want theme park excitement combined with lakeside relaxation. It is a fun, active base rather than a quiet beach week.
