I was born, live, and work in Malcesine. I am the mother of Federico and Alessio. I have had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world, but I always come back home because I find in Malcesine the pleasure of living a healthy and values-rich lifestyle.
Situated between the lake and the mountains, this location gives me unique emotions in every season of the year! I love cooking, practicing outdoor sports, gardening, and sharing my adventures around the world with friends.
Every time I admire the lake and the mountains, I feel the same wonder as the first time. I enjoy conveying passion for my work, but above all, I love sharing the passion for life.
Malcesine is definitely one of the must-see destinations if you are on vacation by Lake Garda. Also known as the Pearl of the lake, it captivates visitors with its splendid panorama and the architectural ensemble of its historic center, suspended between water and mountains. Once you have found a place to park, all you have to do is stroll through the narrow medieval streets of the old town, rich in charming corners with pastel-colored houses and splendid views of the lake. It's wonderful to get lost in this labyrinth of alleys. Here in Malcesine, all roads lead to one place: the harbor. Sitting in one of the many cafes or restaurants and observing the coming and going of boats and people is a great way to savor lake life and immerse yourself in a holiday atmosphere. Not far from the harbor, we find the Palace of the Captains of the Lake with its historical frescoes. But in Malcesine, there is one thing you absolutely must see: the castle! Following the signs, you reach the castle through characteristic alleys. You can continue the day with a nice walk along the shores of the lake or take the cable car up to Monte Baldo.. what a paradise!
