Overview:

Torbole is an attractive resort but very limited with a small quayside, short promenade walk and a couple of backstreets with shops. The main lake road cuts the village in two and there is a lot of traffic. However, Torbole offers the holiday maker many sports: from sailing to windsurfing, from mountain-biking to free-climbing with most available all year round. Of all the villages around the lake, the wind is constant and blows with the greatest intensity at Torbole. This is due to its geographical position, being situated on the north shores of such a big lake, and also to the orographical suitability of the surrounding territory.

Torbole and Nago also offer beautiful walks, winding inland, up the hills and among the fields, through olive and vineyards, along small ancient roads, silent and peaceful. These are easy to reach places, where it is possible to spend a few hours of peace and serenity, with the leaves rustling in the breeze as the only noise, whilst looking at the beauty of nature, that has been so generous here.

This area is suited to mid-market couples prepared for day trips. This area has approximately 30 hotels mainly 3/4 star, some offering own source of entertainment. Nothing really exceptional in position or views.
