Some of our favorite memories are our warm evening strolls along the water- front as we enjoyed the reflecting lights and cafe music. This charming area has all of the old European street scenes plus a quaint harbor right outside our door. You will have an abundant source of subject matter to paint in this captivating town. Gargnano is considered the prettiest village on Lake Garda. More a working village than a resort, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and wander around the abandoned olive factory or the lakefront villas with their boathouses, or just to relax in one of the waterfront cafes.

For a weekend in early September , it hosts the Centomiglia sailing event, with hundreds of yachts racing from nearby Bogliaco all around the lake and back.
