The B&B Le Ortensie is located in Olfino, a quaint village within the municipality of Monzambano, nestled in the gentle, rolling landscape of the Morenic Hills of Lake Garda. This area, positioned at the border between Lombardy and Veneto, is a treasure trove of natural beauty, history, and culture, providing a wide range of experiences for all types of travelers.
The region is marked by centuries of history; significant battles took place among these hills, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars and the Italian Risorgimento. Evidence of this past can be found in the numerous castles, shrines, and small local museums that reflect the memory of an area that has always been contested and strategic. Monzambano, with its medieval castle overlooking the Mincio River, is one of the best-preserved villages in the region.
Just a few kilometers away are two true gems: Borghetto sul Mincio and Castellaro Lagusello, both recognized among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy. Borghetto captivates with its riverside mills and fairy-tale atmosphere, while Castellaro, with its heart-shaped lake and perfectly intact walls, offers remarkably picturesque views.
For nature enthusiasts and those who enjoy outdoor activities, the B&B is ideally situated: the Mincio bike path, which connects Peschiera del Garda to Mantua, is nearby and allows for scenic excursions through fields, rivers, and villages. The entire area is crisscrossed with marked trails, perfect for hiking or horseback riding.
Finally, the proximity to Lake Garda allows guests to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside alongside the attractions offered by one of Italy's most beloved tourist destinations. In just a short drive, visitors can reach the lake's beaches, amusement parks, thermal baths, and the lively centers of the Garda nightlife, including Peschiera, Sirmione, and Desenzano.
This diverse territory surprises with its harmony and ability to provide a wide range of experiences, all within just a few kilometers.
