Travel guide Arco
Over the Brenner
Located about five kilometers north of Lake Garda, the town of Arco lies between air and rocks in Trentino at the lower reaches of the Sarca. The town belongs to the province of
Trento and offers several holiday apartments and houses to enhance your vacation by the water in Italy. The nearest airport is Valerio Catulla Airport Verona, where numerous flights depart daily. The Rovereto train station is about 20 kilometers away. From there, you can continue by bus towards your accommodation. By car, you can take the Brenner motorway to the Rovereto sud - Lago di Garda nord exit. After the toll station, continue on the SS240 towards Nago. For those who want to bring their four-legged friend, be sure to check out the offers for a
holiday with a dog in Arco. Book a holiday home or a house with a garden and a beautiful view in the village now and explore numerous excursion destinations in the surrounding area. Nothing stands in the way of a relaxed journey and a trip full of possibilities.
Body and mind breathe through
There are numerous reasons why a holiday with a holiday apartment or house in the middle of Arco's natural landscape is so popular. One reason is the microclimate here, which is created by the protected location in the mountain panorama and the proximity to
Lake Garda. Arco is considered a health resort and is particularly beneficial for body and mind. Winters are mild and summers are very warm. Occasionally brisk winds provide a pleasant breeze during your stay full of excursion destinations.
Not typically Italian
Together with Varone and Tenno, Arco is the origin of the popular meat dish Carne Salada. Beef, veal, or horse meat is usually used for this dish. First, the meat is salted and then stored in a container for 25 days. It is often served with beans and can be eaten cooked, fried, or raw as carpaccio. In general, the cuisine in
Trentino is not considered typically Italian. That's why you can also find Austrian dumplings here, called canederli. A popular fish dish is Sisam, a fish prepared with onions. Bigoi co le pessate salae is a popular spaghetti variant with small, well-salted fish from the lake. Typical desserts include carrot or Molche cakes. In Arco, you can also enjoy a glass of wine, such as the red wines Cabernet, Merlot, Mazemino, or Teroldego, the rosé wine Schiava, or the white wines Pino bianco, frigo, Chardonnay, Moscato, or Nosiola. Enjoy your holiday with a private holiday home or apartment! After a successful meal, take a stroll through the old town. A culinary dream awaits you at many restaurants.
Lake Garda and Monte Baldo
If you want to spend a
beach holiday in Arco, a private holiday home or apartment with full comfort is the perfect choice. The town is located directly on Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy. Here you will find numerous public beaches to enhance your holiday pleasure. A ride on the Monte Baldo cable car, which goes from
Malcesine to an altitude of 1,800 meters, is highly recommended. From here, you have breathtaking views of the region. In spring and summer, climbing, hiking, or cycling tours around the lake are also great options. Or rent a boat and cruise leisurely across the glittering, cool water. How about a bike tour or other activities in the natural landscape, such as a climbing tour? Explore the surroundings with your family or children.
The gourmet season is open
Of course, Lake Garda is the highlight of a holiday with a holiday home or apartment in Arco. However, it is also worth delving deeper into the surrounding nature and the history of the town and region. For example, visit the Castello di Arco, the castle ruins of the town located on the castle rock in the middle of the old town. The Rock Master, a popular climbing competition, takes place on the first or second weekend of September each year, attracting numerous spectators. Impressive sights can be found at the Varone waterfall west of Varone, where the waters of Lake Tenno plunge 98 meters through a gorge. The André-Heller Park, a garden on the slope above the town of Gardone on the western shore of Lake Garda, is also worth a visit. Here you can relax amidst beautiful nature and admire interesting artworks. Excursions to the neighboring town of Nago-Torbole or the historic
Verona are also great options. The Arco Castle ruins or Schloss Arch is a castle ruin above the municipality of Arco in the province of Trento in northern Italy, above the lower Sarca Valley. Definitely worth a visit - as are the Grottoes of Catullus. A holiday home with a beautiful view or a house with a garden in Arco is an ideal starting point for a fantastic holiday in the relaxing region. Time to enjoy a relaxed stay in the village during your stay in Torbole and Riva del Garda with your own holiday accommodation full of comfort!
