Il Colombaro

Il Colombaro is an aparthotel in Salò, on Lake Garda, just a short walk from the historic centre and the lakeshore. The property offers air-conditioned apartments with a kitchenette, ideal for families and small groups who want more space and independence than a classic hotel room.

The units, spread across several layouts from one to three rooms, feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, coffee machine and, in many cases, a balcony or terrace overlooking the garden or the seasonal outdoor pool. The residence also has a tennis court for guests and free private on-site parking, convenient for those arriving by car along the western shore of the lake.

Continental breakfast is available during the stay and pets are welcome at no extra charge. The location is especially appreciated by couples, who rate it highly: from here, the restaurants and bars in the centre of Salò are just a few minutes away, while Desenzano and Sirmione are just over twenty minutes by car.

Location & what to see

Il Colombaro is located in the hamlet of Barbarano, just above the centre of Salò, in a quiet residential area a short walk from the western shore of Lake Garda. The neighbourhood is characterised by villas and small residences surrounded by greenery, with the Il Colombaro restaurant right at the entrance to the property and other venues such as Ventiquattro and Roco’s Lab about 450 metres away.

The historic centre of Salò, with its lakeside promenade and Renaissance cathedral, can be reached on foot in a few minutes, while the Due Pini Municipal Swimming Pool is 1.8 km away. For those arriving by car, Desenzano del Garda with its railway station is about 14 km away, a convenient starting point for connections to Milan and Verona; Verona-Villafranca Airport is 34 km away. The Vittoriale degli Italiani, the residence of Gabriele D’Annunzio, is just 5 km away, while Sirmione and its Rocca Scaligera castle are about 25 km along the lake’s coast.

The area is ideal for those who enjoy alternating relaxation with outdoor activities: guests can play tennis directly at the property or cycle along the scenic roads that run alongside the lake, particularly popular in spring and autumn. In summer, the proximity to the shore allows days to be spent swimming and enjoying water sports, while the Alto Garda Bresciano Park, about 3 km away, offers hiking trails suitable even for those looking for quieter walks among olive trees and woods. Not far away is also the Rocca di Manerba Archaeological Park, a scenic promontory over the lake, perfect for sunset views.
