About 45 minutes by car
Desenzano is a practical gateway at the southern tip of the lake: trains, a larger harbour and a base for exploring Sirmione or continuing toward Verona and beyond. Useful if you combine Lake Garda with a wider Italy trip.
Borgo Antico Apartments is the ideal base in Toscolano Maderno: pool, garden and equipped kitchen.
About 10 minutes on foot from the residence
Toscolano Maderno has several public beaches along the shore: easy swimming spots without travelling far. There is also Bau Beach for dogs, and a local equestrian centre (campo ippico) for those who want to ride. The loveliest everyday outing is the lakeside promenade: it starts in Maderno and follows the water all the way through town toward Toscolano: a beautiful walk that links the whole village along the lake.

Every Thursday morning the weekly market fills Piazzale Nassiriya and Viale Marconi in Toscolano, right by the Le Montagnette area on Via Statale Toscolano. Come for fruit and vegetables, local hams and cheeses, prepared food and everyday stalls. Ideal for stocking the apartment kitchen or picking up a picnic for the beach.

On Monday mornings a smaller farmers’ market sets up in the same square. Piazzale Nassiriya, in front of the Le Montagnette area. It focuses on farm produce, including organic options: a quieter stop for fresh fruit, vegetables and local specialities without the full Thursday crowd.

Toscolano Maderno is a quiet base on Lake Garda’s west shore: beaches, a lakeside walk, markets, boats and day trips to Salò, Gargnano and the hills. Here’s how to plan it from Borgo Antico.
Itineraries
From Toscolano Maderno you can do focused day trips without changing base: lakeside towns, the ferry, golf and mountains. These are the outings we suggest most often to Borgo Antico guests.
Families
With children, a base with a kitchen, space and a calm pace works best. Borgo Antico has apartments for up to 8 guests, a shared pool and the lake a short walk away.
