Malcesine and Monte Baldo

At the first toll of Sant’Anna’s bell, the Scaliger castle takes the light and the Gardesana breeze rolls in. You crunch over the Paina beach pebbles, slip through Porta Orientale, and climb to the 13th‑century tower that Goethe sketched in 1786. Boats sit high on the slipway; Malcesine smells of lake spray and alpine grass. The rotating cable car is a short stroll from the waterfront: two swift legs, roughly ten minutes, and you stand at 1,700 meters on Monte Baldo’s ridge, meadows dotted with gentians, horizons stretching toward the Apennines on clear days.

Then comes ease. We collect you from your Riva del Garda hotel in a Mercedes, with the car on standby all day and flexible stops along the SR249. In Malcesine, you explore while your driver handles traffic and parking, ride up Monte Baldo without juggling logistics, then descend for a slice of sbrisolona and a glass of Trebbiano by the old harbor. Around Lake Garda, your private chauffeur fine‑tunes the schedule, adds a quick detour to Cassone to see the 175‑meter Aril stream, and returns you to your door by late afternoon.
