Scenic and historical sites to visit in Sirmione
Every corner of Sirmione provides a new picturesque view, buildings rich in history, and shops offering Made in Italy excellence. Walking through the medieval streets and along the ancient walls allows you to savor the magic of Sirmione and, most importantly, visit its most famous sites:
• Castello Scaligero
This imposing medieval fortress, surrounded by the waters of the lake, has been one of the most evocative emblems of Sirmione since its foundation in the 13th century. Its crenellated towers, fortified dock, and drawbridge breathe life into stories of knights and ancient dominations, while its walls offer an extraordinary view of Lake Garda.
• Grotte di Catullo
Legend has it that this majestic Roman villa from the 2nd century AD overlooking the waters of Lake Garda was once the home of the poet Gaius Valerius Catullus, from whom it takes its name. In truth, there is no historical evidence to support these claims, but in no way does this diminish the experience of walking among the columns and terraces suspended over the blue of the lake, where one can still perceive the charm of the imperial era and the timeless beauty of this enchanting place that still inspires poetry to this day.
• The historic city center
A labyrinth of cobbled alleys, dotted with artisan workshops, elegant boutiques, and traditional restaurants. The smell of freshly baked bread and local specialties envelops visitors, while the vibrant and romantic atmosphere invites you to explore every hidden corner. Thanks to our shuttle bus, guests can reach the historic center of Sirmione in just 4 minutes.

Where wellness and nature meet. The sulfurous thermal waters of Sirmione, famous since the times of ancient Rome, offer a regenerating experience where you can relax in thermal pools and enjoy exclusive treatments while admiring the splendid panorama provided by the lake.
