Paradise of Desenzano del Garda

Desenzano Del Garda is an ancient holiday town in the northern province of Brescia in Italy that is as close to paradise as humanly possible. The stone houses built at the time of renaissance Italy and the square stone cobbled streets that flow down the hill to the harbour gave the town an air of supreme wealth. The harbour has a small brown stone hexagonal lighthouse and a wooden mooring dock which is full of white luxurious sailing boats. Next to that there was an ancient solid wooden ferry terminal that connects Desenzano with the rest of the towns on the lake Lago di Garda. The weather in the summer has a cooling fresh breeze from the lake that counteracts the beaming hot sun. It’s perfect weather for the beach that is a mixture of beautiful pebbles, just a short walk from the harbour. From the beach you can see for many miles as the clear waters merges with the sky above. The sun shines on the horizon as the Alps try to separate the lake from the sky. As you walk back through the streets to the heart of the town, there is a wonderful smell of fresh baked pizza and pasta wafting from the homes and restaurants as you pass by. The tastes of pizza and pasta were a clear yet fresh taste that can only be from the fresh ingredient and expert baking of the Italian chefs. The only taste that surpasses the pizza is the gelato, which is a thick creamy taste of frozen heaven.

When the sun descends over the horizon, the town goes through a magical metamorphosis as the sky transforms into the most golden and blue colours that anyone could imagine, making the marble of the ancient stones of the Piazza Malvezzi glow in harmony with nature’s true wonder. After the sun has set, the moon takes its majestic place over the lake and shines down across the lake refracting the magic back to the still buzzing Piazza Malvezzi. The restaurants, bars, concerts and festivals of the summer resonate with the joy and cheer of the local people that lasts well into the early morning, making Desenzano del Garda a magical and picture perfect place that you must go to experience for yourself.
