On the Veronese coast of Lake Garda stands a tiny village that dominates the western end of the bay of Garda: Punta San Vigilio.

 

It is a small promontory of which a portion is reserved for an equipped bathing lido (the famous "Baia delle Sirene"), a portion for a private residence (the discrete but enchanting Villa Guarienti di Brenzone, with its ancient citrus grove), and finally the enchanting marina, which boasts one of the most romantic cafés in the world. ​

 

The buildings overlooking the small port once belonged to a convent, where pilgrims could stop during their crossings: the small church of San Marco still exists, while the convent has become a small but exclusive hotel, which also saw kings and queens among its guests. ​

 

Punta San Vigilio can be reached by car and on foot (from Garda), but the truly unforgettable approach is by boat, from which already in the distance you can perceive the enchanted aura of this timeless place surrounded by cypresses, olive trees, lemons and oleanders.
