Located in the province of Verona, Peschiera del Garda is a town bursting with history to the south of Lake Garda. Boasting a fortress from the previous Austrian rule, Peschiera del Garda played an important role in the ‘Quadrilatero’; the four fortified towns in the region.
If we look right back to Roman times, we find a small town that has been fortified not only by Austria but also Venice, Scaligeri, and Italy. Today, the fortress still stands as a pentagonal city centre and it shines with plenty of restaurants, artisan shops, bars, and other services. To learn more about the history, you could even visit the Palazzina Storica Museum which has old WWI relics.

Host
If you plan on staying in one of the stunning retreat houses on Lake Garda, you’ll be hosted by Giuseppe. During the day, he’s a businessman in the Italian and North African import and export trade. By night, he’s a family man with his wife, Nabila, and two children, Matilde and Giovanni (after whom the houses are named!).
As a man of the world, Giuseppe actually studied at Cranfield University in Bedfordshire, England. However, his hometown is Verona and this is where he has chosen to settle with his family. Whether for business (close to Milan) or pleasure, Giuseppe will welcome you to his property and Nabila will often greet all visitors on arrival.

Meals
Depending on your plans, you can cook food in the home’s kitchen or enjoy the local cuisine at one of the many local restaurants. Luckily, there’s a store within walking distance and the restaurants cater to the needs of all sorts of dietary requirements so why not try a bit of both?
MASSAGE
Like strawberries and cream, salt and vinegar, yoga and massage are perfect partners. Yoga and massage complement each other in endless ways. After yoga, massage is a great way to release the muscles and reduce lactic acid residue. A massage improves supply of blood to muscles while enabling the exterior layers of muscles (the fascia) to also stretch out. Proprioceptors in tight and over-used muscles are stimulated enabling awareness of the positioning of our limbs in relation to space when practicing yoga. Our highly recommended masseurs come to the Peschiera Retreat House to provide massage therapy at any time for an additional fee.
Working
If you’re having to bring some work with you, we understand and will provide you with WiFi in the house. Whether you’re in the dining room or want to check your emails in bed, the powerful WiFi should be perfect for your needs (please try to relax a little, though!).With all the amenities you need both inside and outside of the home, why not contact us today for more information about our alluring Lake Garda accommodation?
