Forget Como. We're hopping on the Garda train. The slightly "lesser-known" of Italy's great lakes, Lago di Garda is, in a word, magnificent.
In one of the most enchanting alleys of Sirmione, next to the Scaliger Castle, Rucola 2.0 is one of the most creative contemporary spots in the region. Here, Chef Bignotti presents artful plates, served à la carte or in their tasting menu options.
When in Lake Garda...a visit to the picturesque peninsula of Sirmione is a must. In between exploring the rich history of Scaliger Castle, wander down the narrow cobblestone streets that lead to the Grotte di Catullo, and, treat yourself at the Catullo Spa.
