Here is practically this hamlet, among the most beautiful in Italy it seems more or less similar, situated in an elevated position, clinging to a rock face this hamlet is a jewel to be discovered. Perfect for a trip out of town or a romantic getaway. We are talking about Tremosine sul Garda.
Called the “suspended” village, it enjoys an exceptional view of Lake Garda being between 400 and 600 meters above the water.
The enchanted village
We are located in Lombardy in the heart of the Alto Garda Bresciano Park. The area of Tremosine, with its picturesque villages, covers an area of about 70 square kilometers.
Nestled in the tranquility of nature and its enchanting location above the lake Tremosine sul Garda allows the eye to disperse into the blue waters.
It is a great place to unplug and get back to relaxing, in Tremosine time seems to stop plus its narrow streets the alleys that wind through the village help create a magical, ancient atmosphere.
If you are brave, Tremosine is home to the “thrill terrace” located near the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. A terrace suspended in the void at an altitude of 350 meters where you can admire the surrounding wonders: the lake, the coastal road, and Mount Baldo.
