Garda Apartments & Villas (Lake Garda)
The village of Garda (from warda guardia = to watch, lookout, guard) is renowned for having given its name to the lake during the 12th Century. Up until that time the lake was called Benaco. Between the Rocca (the protruding rocks of Garda) and San Vigilio (halfway along a large gulf), this area has a very interesting residential zone with antique houses, lanes, vaults and squares.
Fishing is still important and is celebrated with spectacular events as well as the "Sardellata al Pal del V?", which takes place in July during a full moon. Apart from all the many other events, the February Carnival with its historic costumes is worthwhile mentioning, as well as the rowing races between the different villages (" Palio delle Contrade") with fireworks (15th August). There are many possibilities for walks and sporting facilities.
