Sitting on the southern shore of the lake and jutting out into the water on a narrow peninsula, Sirmione is often described as Lake Garda’s prettiest village.
Its good looks have attracted several noteworthy holidaymakers over the centuries, including the likes of the ancient Roman poet Catullus and legendary singer Maria Callas, and it's home to Lake Garda’s landmarks like the Roman ruins of Grotte di Catullo and fantastically picturesque Castello Scaligero.
